The Nation of Islam was a radical sect of Islam that was not recognized by any prominent religious leaders as being a true sect of Islam... They murdered him after he became a true follower of Islam... Also, Malcolm X turned away from violence when he became a true follower of Islam, this is when the Nation of Islam censured him, but also they censured him because he was speaking out against many of his fellow leaders in the sect. Actually I think I got that wrong the censured him before he turned to true Islam, but after he started seeing they were all full of ****...
