Moorish Science Temple of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Moorish Science Temple
The community was further split when
Wallace Fard Muhammad, known within the temple as David Ford El,
[32] also claimed (or was taken by some) to be the reincarnation of Drew Ali.
[33] When his leadership was rejected, Ford-El broke away from the Moorish Science Temple. He moved to Detroit, where he formed his own group, an organization that would become the Nation of Islam,
[34] al
