That first vid confirmed some suspicions I had and went even further. Back in the day I used to wonder why in the lessons Arabia was called the "far east," when it's actually the near east. India and China are considered far east.

Even the way the lessons are structured is similar to ancient Indian style of teaching ie; teacher / student dialogue.

In this 2nd vid he correlates "Islam is mathematics" with the 4 noble truths of Buddhism, by presenting the 4 noble truths in mathematical equation form. Very interesting stuff.

In my opinion however, when the lessons talk about "buddhism," it's a generic term meant to refer to Indian philosophy in general, not necessarily the "religion" of buddhism.
You are on the right path fam..

This is the only logical explanation, IMO. Other than a few terms here and there NOI teachings have nothing to do with Islam. It's really kind of like a mash up of some eastern belief systems - hinduism, buddhism, jainism - with a black power slant. Why MFM started it is another mystery.

Even when you analyze how the NOI's doctrinal methodology is set up, you see similarities with indian religion, where the upanishads take the place of the lessons. The lessons were supposed to be studied behind closed doors and only by a select few. The lessons are where it is revealed that the black man is god and there is no "spook god," or mystery god. This is like advaita vedanta, where after a person has their fill of mundane worship to various dieties, they take up upanishadic study to realize that it is really the self that is divine.

All this "knowledge of self" stuff is lifted straight from advaita, no question about it. This aspect cant be taken from buddhism because buddhists deny the self.

Advaita Vedanta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There is only one source of knowledge.

Those Indian ideas came only 35000 years before these ideas... and there were ideas and knowledge dropped before the ideas of Buddhism.

As far as Islam. ... they teach islam but don't excluded buddist ideas and put an importance on math and science, which is unusual for most Islamic schools of thought.

It's just the science of the universe mixed w history.

Presented in a way.. to help cure the black condition in amerikka. Not to make people sunni or shia

It was unheard of for schools of Islamic thought until Muslims came across the knowledge of Indians and Greeks.

NOI doctrine has nothing to do with Islam aside from some phraseology.
