Do you realize how utterly foolish you sound?
I sound "foolish", because I asked you a question? You're going to have to come better than that.
A claim has been made he is.
Yes, just as a claim has been made that he isn't.
Do you have evidence that Ishmael is in fact Elijah's son?
What sort of evidence would you require? Besides, as you apparently do not have evidence that he is not, then your assertions are at an impasse, same as that of others.
Also, please do not seek to answer questions with questions.
And Mr. Warith Deen is "embraced" as if he made no attempt to destroy the Nation.
That's great, but that has nothing to do with the FACT that WARITH is indeed Elijah's biological son.
Or do you dispute this as well?
There's nothing within their respective doctrines that states that 2 physical brothers cannot embrace each other as siblings, despite their theological differences.
I believe them to be lies.
I didn't ask you what you "BELIEVE", I asked you what you KNOW.
In talking about what you "BELIEVE"..........

Be careful of the things you say, and who you say them to.
On what, do you base their truth?
I don't base "their truth" on anything. I never proclaimed that I "BELIEVE" anything about it.
Apparently unlike you, I strive to go by what I KNOW, not what I BELIEVE. I didn't KNOW Elijah, since I never had the honor of meeting him. Nor Clara. Nor TYNETTA, unfortunately, though I wish I'd have the chance to. I met both WALLACE and ISHMAEL (on separate occasions), but I still do not KNOW enough about them, to make any assertion.
And, I'm willing to bet, that YOU haven't met at least most of these people either.
All I know, is what both of them (WALLACE and ISHMAEL) both proclaim to be physical, biological siblings. TYNETTA claims to be ISHMAEL's mother, by way of ELIJAH.
That's 3 people asserting the same notion. People that all knew Elijah, whereas you have not proven that you do.
You're going to have to come up with something more than your "BELIEF", in order to Show and Prove these "truths".
Either that, or continue to "sound utterly foolish".
MA'SALAAM.
