Fruit of Islam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fruit of Islam (FOI) is the name given to the military wing of the Nation of Islam in North America. They are the security force of the Nation of Islam, a group of African American men who follow the teachings of Elijah Muhammad while protecting and serving the Nation, its ministers, and its events. The men sometimes wear distinctive blue, brown or white-colored uniforms or highly starched Western-style suits with bow ties.
Historically, members of the FOI have served in a bodyguard capacity for several African-American figures, including Sean Combs [1] and Jesse Jackson.
