Will listen to more of your links.  I have covered most of them already.  In the past two years I have buried myself into the Black Community in East Tampa.  I have about twenty Black Men and two Black women in my discussion group.  While most of these are not NOI, I have contact with about a dozen NOI ministers. It is difficult for me to criticize these people.  There is one senior Black Man who I will ask for advice on this issue.  I tried to  join NOI and donate for their courses but I am not allowed.  
   I will let you know how it turns out.  I love these people.  The NOI religion is pure Blavatsky and that is the missing link.]]></description>

I have listened to every publicly available lecture by Minister Tony Muhammad for many years. Minister Tony Muhammad is virlulently anti-Semitic.

Just because he doesn&#039;t express it in some lectures doesn&#039;t mean he hasn&#039;t expressed it in other lectures. He has. I have personally heard it. I have posted the links to the audio here, on ESMB, on ESMBR, and on WWP. Tony Ortega has posted such links. Mike has also.

George White,
The N.O.I. is anti-semitic as a matter of faith and belief...It&#039;s baked into their cosmology. From the lips of Elijah Muhammad and Funky Farrakhan to our ears...
A couple of years ago, you could go to the N.O.I. website and read a biography of Farrakhan that stated he was a prophet sent by God, but that was eventually edited out.
Also, white people are considered to be genetically inferior &quot;devils&quot;.
They also believe that women are created to be servants of men, and advocate racial segregation, to the point of having a separate country.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This kind of Hubbardian hypocrisy is &quot;standard dreck&quot;. 

This is the universe-saving tech being put into action by the most ethical group on the planet, and...it&#039;s for our own good, being the banky, out-ethics, reactive meat-sacks that we are!<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />

These superior thetanic schmoes possess no sense of irony, nor are they able to address issues with equanimity and honesty. And forget about them EVER presenting factual evidence or logical rebuttals; it&#039;s all screeds, name-calling, and self-righteous bullshitting.

STAB League(misspelling is intentional) is inward-facing, chest-thumping, cult clown signifying and absurdist theatre that supports command cosplay intention...

Hip, hip, bitch slap!<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f609.png" alt="😉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The STAND League retweeting the ADL is ironic given the fact that the ADL has a webpage on Scientology Youth for Human Rights Award Winner Nation of Islam Brother Rizza Islam: 

https://www.adl.org/resources/backgrounders/rizza-islam 

https://exscn2.net/threads/the-anti-defamation-league-adl-has-a-page-devoted-to-scientology-youth-for-human-rights-award-winner-nation-of-islam-brother-rizza-islam.2824/ 

Indeed, the ADL runs Google ads for the webpage when you search for &quot;Rizza Islam&quot;. 

The ADL webpage on Brother Rizza Islam specifically notes his participation in Scientology: 

* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * * 

Rizza Islam was born in Compton, California, in 1990. He was a member of the Nation of Islam and attended the local NOI mosque as a young child, though he also became involved in the Church of Scientology. His mother, Hanan Islam, and his adoptive father, Alfreddie Johnson, were the executive director and founder, respectively, of a Scientology-backed nonprofit organization called World Literacy Crusade. Mr. Islam took on various roles within the organization.

In the mid-2010s, Mr. Islam and his family ran into legal trouble stemming from their involvement with Scientology and World Literacy Crusade. Mr. Islam, along with some of his siblings and his mother, were arrested on Medi-Cal fraud and insurance fraud charges in California in 2015. In recent years, Mr. Islam has largely downplayed references to his Scientology past.

Though Mr. Islam had participated in NOI-related events previously, including training Fruit of Islam members while working at World Literacy Crusade, it was around the time of his 2015 arrest that he became a more active NOI member. His association with Scientology and preestablished relationships within NOI likely contributed to his rapid rise within the organization’s ranks. World Literacy Crusade and its associates, including Johnson and NOI’s Tony Muhammad (Farrakhan’s Western Regional Representative and Rizza Islam’s mentor at NOI’s Los Angeles mosque), played a key role in forging an unlikely relationship between Farrakhan, NOI and Scientology in the 2000s.

* * * * * END EXCERPT * * * * * 

I&#039;m curious, given the fact that the ADL webpage on Brother Rizza Islam specifically mentions Scientology, why hasn&#039;t STAND League published a story attacking the ADL?
