BIOGRAPHY\n\nMalcolm X was born Malcolm Little on May 19, 1925 in Omaha, Nebraska. His mother, Louise Norton Little, was a homemaker occupied with the family's eight children. His father, Earl Little, was an outspoken Baptist minister and avid supporter of Black Nationalist leader Marcus Garvey. Earl's civil rights activism prompted death threats from the white supremacist organization Black Legion, forcing the family to relocate twice before Malcolm's fourth birthday.

Malcolm X has a change of beliefs shortly before his death.  During his trip to Mecca, Malcolm discovers that Whites and Blacks can live together. He then believes that he has been too narrow minded in the past and excepts whites.  he realizes that it is not the color of ones skin but their character that should determine if they are good or bad.  He dies alot more open to ides than most think.

Martin Luther King was a Christian minister who essentially headed America's civil rights movement.  He organized the Rosa Parks-inspired bus boycott in Montgomery, and was at the forefront of the peaceful protest effort that was, at least in the beginning, the opposite of Malcolm X.  King was likely assassinated in a conspiracy designed to make it look like a hate crime.\n\nX was an ex-con who was brought into the Black Muslim faith by its founder Elijah Mohammad.  He preached that all whites were evil and that blacks had to take control of their lives by any means necessary.  Eventually X renounced the faith when he found it had little in common with true Islam.  He began speaking out against Black Muslims, which likely got him assassinated.  The fact that they both spoke out on black injustice and were murdered for what they stood for are their most obvious similarities.

Here's my knowledge of the Malcolm Little.\n\nThe bad:\n\nMalcolm dropped out of high school, and moved to Boston to live with a half-sister. After some time, he moved to Harlem, New York, where he became involved in drug dealing, gambling, prostitution, racketeering, and robbery (referred to collectively by Malcolm as "hustling"); he also faked insanity in order to avoid the World War II draft.\n\nWhile in prison, in 1948, his family (not him) converted him to Islam.\n\nMalcolm watched the March on Washington critically, unable to understand why black people were excited over a demonstration "run by whites in front of a statue of a president who has been dead for a hundred years and who didn't like us when he was alive." Later in the year, following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Malcolm delivered a speech as he regularly would. However, when asked to comment upon the assassination, he replied that it was a case of "chickens coming home to roost" -- that the violence that JFK had failed and at times refused to reign in had come around to claim his life.\n\nIt is during this time that he was, as many would call him, "anti-white". He was angry, bitter man, and most of it were for the right reasons.\n\nWhat changed him, is what many people of this forum shun, bash, and effectively call out an entire religion as example of the teachings for terrorism. The Hajj changed him and when he came back,\n\n <blockquote>   In the spring of 1964, Malcolm made the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). The trip proved life-altering. The fellowship he witnessed between Muslims of all races shattered his long-held belief that such communion was impossible. He returned to the United States as a convert to orthodox Islam (and with a new name - El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz) and founded the Organization of Afro-American Unity preaching a new interracial acceptance in addition to his belief in black nationalism.\n\n</blockquote>\n\nMost of his beef, later on in his life was towards Nation of Islam (NOI) for many reasons. There was jealousy of him as being more popular than the leader, there was an anti-Islamic practice of adultery by the leader of NOI, etc... Then came the infamous firebombing of his home BY NOI which he and his family survived.\n\nOf course, NOI eventually killed him:\n\n <blockquote>   A week later on February 21, in the Manhattan's Audubon Ballroom, Malcolm had just begun delivering a speech when a disturbance broke out in the crowd of 400. A man yelled, "Get your hands off my pockets! Don't be messin' with my pockets!" As Malcolm's bodyguards rushed forward to attend to the disturbance, a black man rushed forward and shot Malcolm in the chest with a sawed-off shotgun. Two other men quickly charged towards the stage and fired handguns at Malcolm.\n</blockquote>\n\nMy own view and not just basic readings of an encyclopedia (which can only touch upon complexities) is that he was a BIG... well, not a nice man, prior to his pilgrimage to Mecca. But being that I am in firm belief of a human being able to redeem themselves, that's exactly what Malcolm X did.\n\nHe wanted the same rights as every white person had, and while he didn't do it the same way Dr. King Jr. did, he did have the same dream.\n\nHis mistakes are small (in the context) but his biggest one was to get in to a bad organization like NOI. I've often wondered what type of a man he would be if he skipped NOI and went on his own Muslim way.\nI tend to be optimistic that he would have flowered, and all of the people would have benefited.

The letter X in Xtian or Xian does not stand for taking the Christ out of it. Europeans in the 16th century started using X in place of Christ's name as shorthand for writing Christ. The Christian monks and scholars were knowledgeable of the Greek letter X, - Chi or Khi - which is the first letter in the Greek word "Christos" or "Kristos" (Greek: CristoV) The Greek and Hebrew word "Christos" comes out "Messiah" and mean the same thing: "The anointed One." For many years the X was understood by Christian clergy and as time passed, many Christians, educated and not, were not aware of the meaning.

They've never given his last name.  On the episode where they flashback to the first time they met him, he said his name, but it was muted out by a school bell (and he actually just recited the names of the main actors on the show).  It's kind of like the name of his country - we'll just never know!  (But the website below has some interesting theories - someone has too much time on their hands).
