"The Nation of Islam disagreed with Malcolm's idea that blacks would earn their rights by any means possible and that he would even consider violence as a way of getting what he wanted. The Nation also thought he was making them to public and did not feel comfortable with the rumors surrounding The Nation of Islam after making Malcolm responsible for temple seven in new york."

Not sure where you got this information, but at best it is both an assumption, and an opinion. Here are the facts.

This is coming from myself...a former member of the NOI. The only time that Malcolm ever used the term "...by any means necessary" was a statement in reference to defending his home against some members of the NOI who had threatened to attack Malcolm and his family. Subsequently these jealous people did exactly that...they fire bombed his home with his family barely escaping death. The former statement is very unintelligible, so I am unable to comment on it. You're trying to say something already obtained from heresay, but it is quite jumbled.

Malcolm disagreed with Elijah Muhammad...not the Nation of Islam, because the Nation was his life. He also worshipped T.H.E.M. because he looked upon him as though he was G_d. He never thought that Elijah could do anything wrong, but when he discovered the paternity situation concerning Mr. Muhammad's fathering of illegitimate children by his teenage secretaries, Malcolm was highly disappointed with his mentor.

Also, a Muslim official from the temple in Los Angeles was murdered by an LA policeman during that same period. When Malcolm petitioned to Elijah to give financial support for this brother's family, Mr. Muhammad's response was..."Let the devil take care of them. We didn't kill the brother...the devil's killed him." This brought Malcolm further disillusionment with Elijah Muhammad.
