How the Nation of Islam Joins the Mainstream and How It Is Expelled

with Dexter Van Zile
It took almost a year, but a Middle East Forum exposé published in May 2023 prompted the recent departure of True-See Allah from his position at the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office in Massachusetts. Allah held this post despite being a vocal supporter of Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader notorious for his anti-white racism in general and antisemitism in particular. How did Allah achieve mainstream status in Boston politics despite his radicalism? What does the reluctance to fire him reveal? What lessons can be learned from this episode?
