What is the origin of the nation of Islam?

There are four possible origins for the word 'mosque' in the English language. The first possibility is that it derives from the French word 'mosquee' that existed during the period in French linguistic history known as 'Middle French'. The second possibility is that it is a derivative of the Arabic word 'masjid'. The third possibility is that it derives from the Old Italian word 'moschea' and the final possibility is that it comes from the Old Spanish word 'mezquita'. These various words were used to describe the Muslim place of worship in the various languages mentioned.

My research found no indication that mosque was derived from the word 'mosquito'. Regarding the appearance of the term mosque in the English language, scholars suggest it was around 1711 AD. This is far after King Ferdinand and the Crusades. It might be that the term 'mezquita,' used to describe a masjid in old Spanish, came from the word 'mosquito' and then subsequently the term 'mezquita' was used to form the term mosque. However, this would not mean that the term mosque was developed as a result of the story you related.

People started to discuss things like art and politics, and challenging the establishment became socially acceptable.

Malcolm X (1925-1965) raised the social and political awareness of African-Americans, at a time when the concept of racial equality was still being violently resisted. He proposed black supremacy in the face of de facto white supremacy.

He endorsed separatism rather than integration as a means for African-Americans to exert their political power, not to ask for but to demand change.
