Who are “Black Muslims?
The term “Black Muslim” has been used to describe a follower of the Nation of Islam, though it is considered a confusing misnomer by mainstream Muslims, since Islam is practiced by people of every race and ethnicity. For Muslims the term “Black Muslim” is no more valid than “White Muslim.” So-called “Black Muslims” are not to be confused with Muslims (followers of universal Islam) of African-American or African origin.
