The "Nation of Islam", which is predominately made up of Black Americans, still takes the Q'uoran as its Holy Scripture, and has not reformed any more than other Islamic sects.
Islam in and of itself, was born in violence. Originating with a supernatural experience in a cave that left a young Mohammad with the firm belief that the archangel Gabriel had summoned him to be God's messenger on Earth, not only did the angel allegedly try to choke Mohammad to death at one point, so did his tribe, the "Quraysh". >From its very inception, Islam (according to Aiesha, Mohammad's 11 year old wife, and written in Haddith, 5:23; and Akbar, the best translation is "surrender") has been about a fight to survive. Mohammad called this principle "Jihad", and drew two distinctions. Ultimately the greater jihad, "Jihad al Akbar", was the struggle to perfect oneself, the struggle to be a better person in the eyes of Allah. The lesser jihad, "Jihad al Asghar" – the struggle to defeat infidels, non-believers and opponents who threatened the faith is the jihad that all non-Muslims should be concerned with.
