Interestingly enough, this NPR story (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5614846) says the NOI believes it's founder, W. D. Farad Muhammad was God. The founder of the Five Percenters doubted that, because Muhammad was bi-racial, not "pure" black. Traditional Islam, on the other hand, teaches God is separate from man.
What is interesting to me is the NOI offshoot of traditional Islam claims the divinity of a human, as does Christianity. I never realized the two religions share that similarity.
