CONTINUES PREACHING PEACEFUL TEACHINGS OF ELIJAH MUHAMMAD

I had the great opportunity to speak with The Nation of Islam’s Captain Dennis Muhammad, the man behind the movement, “At-One PeaceKeepers”. Dennis Muhammad’s mission is to provide alternative training offered to neighborhood law enforcement, under the “Enota Project”.

It’s now been 36-years since he made the conversion to become a Muslim. He paid his dues, which earned him the title of a Captain of the Nation of Islam; which are some big shoes to fill. Holding the title of Captain means Dennis Muhammad is responsible for training males to become better men, better husbands, better fathers, and better citizens of society as a whole.
Dennis grew-up on the poverty stricken streets of Columbus, Ohio. The now reformed Dennis Muhammad is no stranger to police brutality. As a teen, he and a pair of his friends broke into a gas station, neither one of them had a gun. That’s when the then 14-year-old Dennis was shot at, by a cop. It happened while Dennis was using a crowbar to break the glass of a cigarette machine, inside the gas station. The oil that blanketed the floor at the scene of the crime is what Dennis says saved his life. “I fell to the ground because of that oil,” said Dennis. “When I got up, he hit me upside the head with the side of his gun, and grabbed me – calling me, a nigger and a lucky son of a bitch.” Dennis says the oil he slipped on was no coincidence. “If God didn’t have that oil on that ground, I wouldn’t be here to tell this story,” said Dennis.
