EL continued by saying that the dominant
nis organization was to teach members of the.
colored race who joined the Temple that their true national-
ity was Moorish-American, their true race, the Asiatic race
and their type religion, s set forth in the Holy Koran.
He explained this further by saying that there are only
two true races, the European race which is light skinned
and the Asiatic race which is dark skinned. The dark
continent as slaves in the l8th Century were actually
Moors from Morocco, Africa and were drawn from two tribes,
the EL tribe and the Bey tribe. After being sold into
captivity, the Moors were separated, the family groups
broken up, their tribal names taken away and their captor's
names forced upon them. The Moors also lost their religion.
and had the Christian religion forced upon them. When a.
man joins the Moorish Seience Temple, the Divine Minister.
determines whether he came from the EL tribe or the Bey.
tribe orizinally and gives him hack his true name, thus
becomes
-EL since his an-

f the EL tribe.
His religion which is drawn
fromthe Holy Koran, is likewise restored to him..
EL said that in registering for the draft and in.
serving with the Armed Forces, some members of the Moorish
Science Temple had been "classified" as negroes. This was.
not only incorrect since the men so described were actually.
Moorish-Americans but also wrong morally since the word.
"Negro" means slave and does not describe a man's nationality
