Farrakhan and the Muslims did. When Malcolm came back from Mecca, he felt that the American Muslims as a whole were a fraud. Elijah , the leader had multiple family's going some by 15-16-year-old girls and while in Mecca he was loved by Asian, White, and Indian Muslims. When he started his branched off organization many of Elijah's people went with him so the hit was ordered and carried out by the FOI. Who was the head of the FOI at that time....Louis Farrakhan

It's well known who killed Malcolm. I guess this is one of those questions that keeps popping up every few years or so. What's interesting is why. Are people so fucking lazy they can't read a book or two? Or are they writing a paper for school and...they're too fucking lazy to read a book or two? I don't endorse wiki but, jeezus, you could even go there and find out.

The government with help from the NOI.

Malcolm was right about calling them a street gang.

@10:25 speeches like this give them away.

Not quite. farrakhan, on the orders of elijah, instructed his lieutenants to find hitters not connected to the nation to do the work. The buttons they eventually arrested and convicted WERE connected to the nation and have their own interesting stories. It still isn't clear that they weren't just dupes and the real hitters were never identified. Anyway, what farrakhan DID do was coordinate with the police commissioner so the hitters got through with minimal resistance. The cops wanted Malcolm dead more than elijah did. So did the FBI and COINTELPRO was surely involved. So you have three factions with definite involvement. And three definite triggers and four men arrested and convicted who may or not have been the cleaners.

When Malcolm was overseas he said he knew what the Muslims could do and couldn’t do. He said he trained them. Things were happening to him that NOI was incapable of doing.

Muslims were suppose to blow up he his car. I do believe the Muslims tried to kill him for exposing what was going on but when X tried to take it to the UN then he became too dangerous.

It’s possible some Muslim puppets worked with the powers that be to kill Malcolm x. He should’ve did a safety check that day and he would’ve lived on. He even said every black person wasn’t a friend, History proved that.

Guess the nation of islam killed Kennedy also. Maybe the nation of islam did 911. I just do not understand why some blacks want to believe that the nation of islam would be so stupid as to do something like kill Malcolm X at a time when the heat is on them about him instead of who was really watching and investigating him.

Malcolm X’s alleged assassin hiding in plain sight in Newark 50 years after civil rights leader was killed, author claims

Life is good for Al-Mustafa Shabazz.

The 76-year-old ex-con lives in a gated two-story home in one of the nicer neighborhoods in Newark.

He drives a gold Mercedes Benz E-Class sedan. And he's married to one of the city's most prominent civic leaders.

But Shabazz has an even better reason to be counting his blessings: He allegedly got away with one of the most notorious murders of the 20th century.

The burly Muslim with the white beard was the chief assassin in the slaying of Malcolm X, according to the author of a Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of the slain civil rights leader.

In his book, "Malcolm X: A Life of Reinvention," Columbia University professor Manning Marable identifies Shabazz as firing the first and fatal shots at the former Nation of Islam leader.

Multiple sources have told the Daily News that Shabazz's role in the killing has been an open secret in Newark for years.

"Here's a man who's walking the streets of Newark with impunity, a teflon don, and nobody's doing anything about it," said Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, a historian and writer who was the first to publicly identify Shabazz as the main triggerman.

"It's an affront to justice and an affront to the legacy of Malcolm."

Shabazz, reached outside his home last week, initially clammed up when confronted by a Daily News reporter.

"I don't have no comment. You can call my lawyer," Shabazz said.

Pressed further, Shabazz defended himself. "It's an accusation," he said. "They never spoke to me. They just accused me of something I didn't do."

The mystery surrounding Malcolm's assassination has dogged scholars for decades and inspired endless conspiracy theories.

Three Nation of Islam members were arrested and convicted of the shooting at the Audubon Ballroom on Fed. 21, 1965.

Thomas Hagan, then known as Talmadge X Hayer, was captured at the scene. He later confessed but always maintained that the other two – Muhammad Abdul Aziz, then known as Norman 3X Butler; and Kahlil Islam, then Thomas 15X Johnson – were not involved.

But if not Aziz and Islam, then who else killed Malcolm? Malcolm's relatives, supporters and several filmmakers wrestled with that question for years.

In the late 1970s, Hagan provided some tantalizing clues. In two affidavits filed in 1977 and 1978, he provided partial names for his four accomplices.

Hagan identified the shotgun-toting man who was the first to open fire on Malcolm as Willie X. Hagan's lawyer, the famed William Kunstler, determined that Willie X was a man named William Bradley.

But the case quickly went cold. More than three decades passed before Bradley was identified as the towering Newark man living under the name Al-Mustafa Shabazz.

In his 2011 book, Marable wrote that he was able to confirm through sources in Essex County's black Muslim community that the man formerly known as William Bradley was hiding in plain sight in Newark.

Bradley was 15 feet away from Malcolm when he "elevated his sawed-off shotgun from under his coat, took careful aim, and fired," Marable wrote. "This was the kill shot, the blow that executed Malcolm X."

Shabazz's criminal exploits are the stuff of legend in his hometown of Newark and beyond.

A baseball star at South Side High School, Shabazz was one of three masked gunmen who robbed a bank in nearby Livingston in April 1968, court records show.

Shabazz and a second man, James Moore, were hit with bank robbery charges the following year. But while Moore was ultimately convicted, the charges against Shabazz were dropped.

The special treatment Shabazz received, Marable wrote, "raises the question of whether he was an FBI informant, either after the assassination of Malcolm X or very possibly even before."

Whatever connections Shabazz may have had, they failed to keep him out of prison.

He was jailed from 1977 to 1980 on conspiracy charges, officials said. Shabazz returned to prison in 1984 after being indicted on charges that included threatening to kill an East Orange cop, raping a woman and drug dealing.

In the court records, the name "William Bradley" is listed as Shabazz's alias.

He emerged from prison in 1998. By then, Shabazz was known in Newark's black Muslim community as an enforcer not to be trifled with.

"He was like a street legend. If you mention his name, it would invoke fear for blocks," said a longtime member who asked to remain anonymous. "He was notorious."

Shabazz turned his life around through his marriage to Carolyn Kelley, a powerful Newark activist who was instrumental in the fight to overturn the murder conviction of boxer Rubin "Hurricane" Carter.

Shabazz made an appearance in a 2010 campaign video for Newark mayor Corey Booker. Two years earlier, he delivered what now could be seen as a curious quote to the Newark Star-Ledger in a story about the prosecution of then-Newark mayor Sharpe James.

"He was too powerful politically for a black man in America," Shabazz said. "Every time a black man is in power, they send someone to get him out."

Not everybody close to Malcolm's case believes Shabazz was the lead triggerman.

Malcolm's nephew Rodnell Collins is convinced his uncle's killer was a mysterious Asian man who fled the country.

"The person who fired the kill shot has gotten away," Collins said. "If he was walking the street, he wouldn't be alive. He would simply disappear."

Hagan, who was paroled in 2010 and is now living a quiet life in Brooklyn, declined to comment. Aziz was paroled in 1985, and Islam in 1987.
Shabazz's wife said the allegations against her husband are bogus. "We know nothing about that," Kelley said.

"It's a shame," she added of Malcolm's death. "We loved him. We wish he was here."

Asked if he felt the same way, Shabazz was less effusive. "I already told you how I felt, sir," he said.

Several of Elijah's mosques were fire bombed behind Malcolm's death. In the death of Dr. King it was common knowledge that the government did it even though they had already railroaded a person to be the fall guy. What temple did this guy suppose to had been a member of?

Farrakhan and the Muslims did. When Malcolm came back from Mecca, he felt that the American Muslims as a whole were a fraud. Elijah , the leader had multiple family's going some by 15-16-year-old girls and while in Mecca he was loved by Asian, White, and Indian Muslims. When he started his branched off organization many of Elijah's people went with him so the hit was ordered and carried out by the FOI. Who was the head of the FOI at that time....Louis Farrakhan
Lol you could write good scripts for movies. Islam is not suppose to make a black man an Arab. The real teachings will make him himself. Malcolm argued with different races of muslims at the colleges and universities in America. He was supposedly knew the truth at first but how did he get in the lime light and get off course?What about that Mecca trip? Why did black nationalist in the middle east and Africa tell him if you want to unite black people you got to get away from that religion shit because the white man got that sewed up. You got to unite blacks on the bases of businesses. That is why they sent him back to America to start OAAU. They already had OAU in Ghana.
Do not think that those racist Arabs are not hiding anything or our chief wizards in America.

Elijah said he had never heard of those muslims that they claimed killed Malcolm. They wanted to make sure they used muslims but those dudes were not registered with the nation of islam. Did any news media interview his aides or body guards as an opinion of who or why he was killed?

You do know that when Elijah Muhammad expelled him there were Muslims who were suppose to blow up his vehicle. He had Muslims confirm it. Now those weren’t government agents but noi members. So both sides tried to kill him.

That was emotions speaking. Same with Malcolm when he talked about his passion for the truth before he got in the lime light and got off course.
That whole section is about five minutes long... The entire speech is broken up in five videos on YouTube. Hell, that speech almost made me condone his killing.

Only one side really killed him. You got stupid people every where. Every body that claims to be with you might not be with you. Yes there were haters. Elijah was able to handle them at first. To him Malcolm was the goose that laid the golden egg.
I have had stupid blacks actually want to kill me. I had one brother actually fronted me and said black people have been thru enough without their own kind trying to pimp them. I do not know where he got that shit from. Nothings has ever been given to me but a hard time that is all. In fact I thought he had to be out of his mind to approach a brother that has much less them him but struggles 3 times harder than him.

The Honorable Elijah Muhammad did not want anything to happen to malcolm. I was there it was the hardest thing that the brothers had ever done. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad told me that he did not want this. He wanted peace with Malcolm. He loved Malcolm more than his own son. :smh:

But we all understood WHY the brothers did what they did! I personally commended them for the hit and we paid them HANDSOMELY! We all pitched in and some of us damn near went bankrupt paying the brothers! Malcolm sold us out to the devil! The one who is responsible for Malcolm X leaving this oith is Master Fard Muhammad who is almighty God Allah himself! :angry:

The Islamic truth I speak from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, has left you two insanely confounded. This is the power of the wise words of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. You will never understand. Therefore you two are destined to remain confounded, forever. Don't even try to understand the source of my wisdom, or you will fuck around and have a brain hemorrhage mixed with an anneyurism and fall into a coma for two days. Just remain confounded.

Pathetic

Not true. The nation paid them brothas very well for that hit. Them mooshlum brothas rotted in prison for a very long time, though. I don't think we even visited them in prison, outside of taking them a beanie with some prison escape tools or a poisonous beanpie for temporary suicide If they weren't allowed to read the holy Qur'an. It is better to meet the messenger in the afterlife, than to believe in a white Jesus will save you.
