Here is the text that had been in the article Malachi York. some of mya be worth merging into this article. -Willmcw 21:28, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
Doctor Malachi Z. York (b. 1945) is the founder and leader of the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors.
He was born on June 26, 1945 in Omdurman, Sudan to Mary C. York (1924-still living)and Al Haadi Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi (1922-1970). York is the great grandson of Al Mahdi of the Sudan (1845-1885).
Dr. Malachi York is the author of over 500 books dealing with subjects such as the origin of languages, religion, spirituality, ufology, new world order, freemasonry, black history, science, health, and the mind among many things.
Dr. York founded the Ansaaru Allah Community, also called the Nubian Islamic Hebrews in Brooklyn, New York in 1967. This group was an Islamic Sect. Around 1992 or 1993 he changed the name of the organization to the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors and moved the headquarters to Eatonton, Georgia where an Egyptian village called Tama-Re: Egypt of the West was built. The doctrine also evolved to include Ufology, Sumerianism, Egyptology, Freemasonry, Christianity, Moorish Science, and Native American history.
In April of 2004, Dr. York was sentenced to 135 years in federal prison for molesting 14 boys and girls who were children of his followers.

[edit] Amateur psychological diagnosis from afar
- “York's behavior has over the years exhibited overwhelming evidence that he suffers from some form of schizophrenia, which would account for his erratic changes of persona, massive self-aggrandizement, and his numerous fanciful and counterfactual claims about his identity. York's massive and frantic outpouring of literature, especially the tendency for it to have every word capitalized, is also consistent with such a diagnosis.”
user:Jacrosse speculates here that York is schizophrenic, based on his erratic doctrine and idiosyncratic use of language. I think this mostly amounts to "I think he's crazy," though it is couched in medical-sounding language, and is therefore a POV violation. Readers are free to come to their own conclusions about York's mental condition from the evidence of his behavior and do not need to be coached in this regard. -Moorlock 22:43, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cult Leader?
Is there a category for Cult Leader? Also, are there any Native American activists who have pubicly stated they find this philosphy offensive? My Dad's Native and I find this very offensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.63.206.7 (talk) 07:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC).
- Some Mongoloid Native Americans wish to disconnect themselves from the darker Africoid Native Americans but that doesn't invalidate their indigenous statehood. There is a plethora of evidence (ex: The Olmecs) that prove there was a migration to America by technically advanced West Africans. Not only that, many of your so-called African slaves mated with Natives who's "indian reservations" where built right next to slave camps. Mario Van Peebles once stated that over 90% of all so-called African Americans are part Native. What right do you have to deny us of Native American Statehood? I classify as African American and yet my Great Grand Mother was raised on a reservation. Nuwaubian Hotep 18:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
- is mario van peebles a professional race historian? i always thought he was an actor. you know, star of such thrilling cinema as "solo" and who could forget "jaws: the revenge". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.2.134.104 (talk) 19:29, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Malachi's Birth
Dr. York was not born in 1935, and the reference link for that is empty. I'm in the process of uploading this birth certificate, this should clarify that once and for all. He was born in 1945.
- Here's the reference (it shows up on my machine fine, not sure why it's missing on yours): “Philips, Abu Ameenah Bilal The Ansar Cult in America Tawheed Publications 1988, p. 1 (see also: [2]). Philips shows that in 1975 York’s publications changed his declared birth year from 1935 to 1945, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the birth of The Mahdi, who is popularly believed to have been born in 1845.” -Moorlock 15:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The European slant
Dr. York is considered a "black supremacist" by Caucasians and supporters of European rule because he teaches independence and "godship" to disenfranchised Africans, and other minority immigrants in America. However, is this a fair connotation to use within a platform where the ultimate goal is corrected and proper analysis?
- Mostly, I think he's considered a "black supremacist" because he has consistently taught that black people are superior to people of other races, in their character, their physical makeup, and their origin. -Moorlock 15:34, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Egyptian Church of Christ?
This is wrong. I've never seen it spelled this way. It's always been known as The Egiptian Church of Karast.
[edit] Bill Osinski
Bill Osinski is not considered a valid source. His book is mostly yellow journalism filled with half truths, loosely based opinions and lies. His comments should be validated or removed. The libel tag at the top of this page would indidate as such. Why should we view his statements as valid? What are his credentials or associations with Nuwaubu? Here's a response to Bill's Press release which easily defeats all of his moronic and tyrannical analysis of Nuwaubu. Blog about Bill's book Nuwaubian Hotep 17:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] I do not live under your law, etc...
Where is the reference for this statement please? In all my years studying Nuwaubu I've never heard or read Dr. York make such and outrageous claim about himself. If no reference can be provided it should be removed. Nuwaubian Hotep 17:59, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

- Sorry Moorlock but the reference you're citing isn't speaking about Dr. York in particular but rather the African Culture. From what I've read in in pro Nuwaubian material (as opposed to the anti Nuwaubian material you continually cite) He (Dr. York) has never set himself higher than he laws of the United States Government. Nuwaubian Hotep 03:13, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] York exercised tight control over the sexuality of his followers.
It should be stated within this quote that this is an observation from someone which may or may not be true. Your referencing it as though it's an absolute. The introductory line needs rephrasing. Nuwaubian Hotep 03:29, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
The very starting of this article is a grammatical nightmare. Someone who cares may want to fix that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.98.162 (talk) 03:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
