Protection services
The Fruit of Islam do not carry any weapons, because they believe that Allah (God) protects them from their enemies. The Fruit of Islam has never lost one human life under their protection, but they only had one assassination attempt in 1994. [10] [1] The Fruit of Islam have provided executive protection for Civil Rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson when he was a Presidential Candidate in the 1984 election. [11] The Fruit of Islam also provided executive protection for Johnnie Cochran, Spike Lee ,Michael Jackson, Eddie Murphy, Wesley Snipes, R. Kelly, Ice Cube, Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X and Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad. [12] When asked why he hired Fruit of Islam for his personal protection, Johnnie Cochran replied, “No I’m not a Muslim; and I hired the Fruit of Islam because they are the best, and if something goes down I know they will have my back!” </ref> See: CNN News & Vanity Fair Magazine on Johnnie Cochran and the Fruit of Islam at [2] [3] [4] [5]</ref> [citation needed]Black Vibes Entertaiment reported that the Fruit of Islam was accused of attacking a Civil Right leader and founder of "Project Islamic H.O.P.E" named Najee Ali. Najee Ali was Allegedly attacked by the Fruit of Islam after he attended a news conference regarding proposed clemency for convicted murderer Stanley "Tookie" Williams, a co-founder of the Los Angeles Crips gang who is scheduled to be executed December 13, 2005. Many activists are fighting for Tookie not be executed and Najee Ali is one in the number. However many of the activist fighting to keep him alive is also fighting each other- this is how Ali got attacked by the Fruit of Islam. Now the rumor is some of the various leaders got into a heated debate following the press conference when Ali was disrespectful to Nation of Islam Minister Tony Muhammad from Muhammad's Mosque # 27 Los Angeles, California. Ali yelled at Minister Tony Muhammad and Black Vibes Entertainment Writer William G. Mccray II, said “I am sure after being beat down and stomped he regrets having opened his mouth. A witness that was afraid to give his name said that Ali ran after he was punched in the jaw the first time, but he was not successful. Tony Muhammad commented that he would handle the matter within the Nation. Seems to me that was an admission of guilt. Ali is 42 and has yet to file any charges by my deadline.” See: Black Vibes Entertainment at http://www.blackvibes.com/features/news/story.asp?newsid=669
Meaning of the name
The Nation of Islam calls these men the Fruit of Islam, because, "you judge a tree by the fruit it bears." The Nation of Islam say the Fruit of Islam are the Muslim men military training class of the Nation of Islam. [13]
1994 assassination attempt
In 1994 an assassination attempt was made on the life of the former Nation of Islam Minster and New Black Panther Party leader Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad, and four FOI men were shot and wounded in the chest and legs by James Edward Bess from 10 feet in Riverside, California. [10] A bystander was also hospitalized with bullet wounds. Dr. Khalid Muhammad was hit in the left leg by a 9mm bullet while another grazed his right leg. See: New York Times Newspaper & Miami Times Newspaper on the FOI & Dr. Khalid Abdul Muhammad assassination attempt [10] The Fruit of Islam and bystanders apprehended, beat-up and disarmed James Edward Bess and then turned him over to the local authorities. [10]
The Population & Ethnic breakdown of the Fruit of Islam
No one really knows the Population of the Fruit of Islam, some say 10,000, but Minister Louis Farrakhan claims he register more than a million men in the Nation of Islam. No one knows how many men left, or stayed in the Fruit of Islam. The Nation of Islam does not give this information to the public. Must of the Fruit of Islam population is Black Americans, but there are many Hispanic/Latino Americans members in the Fruit of Islam, and the Latino Representative of the Nation of Islam is Minister Muhammad Abdullah Muhammad.
