This thesis deals with the history, life cycle and doctrines of the Black Muslim social movement as a framework for the comparison of the beliefs of the Black Muslims and Orthodox Moslems. It has been hypothesized that the basic differences in the secular and religious doctrines of the Black Muslim social movement and Orthodox Moslems--such as anti-white attitudes, beliefs in Black superiority and white inferiority, and a disbelief in Heaven and Hell--are directly related to racial problems in the United States. Various concerns of the Black Muslim social movement (e.g. an independent economic and educational system) are seen as the means to achieve self-respect and self-determination and to remove stereotypes about Blacks in white American society.
