Doctor Malachi Z. York (b. 1945) is the founder and leader of the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors.

He was born on June 26, 1945 in Omdurman, Sudan to Mary C. York (1924-still living)and Al Haadi Abdur Rahman Al Mahdi (1922-1970). York is the great grandson of Al Mahdi of the Sudan (1845-1885).

Dr. Malachi York is the author of over 500 books dealing with subjects such as the origin of languages, religion, spirituality, ufology, new world order, freemasonry, black history, science, health, and the mind among many things.

Dr. York founded the Ansaaru Allah Community, also called the Nubian Islamic Hebrews in Brooklyn, New York in 1967. This group was an Islamic Sect. Around 1992 or 1993 he changed the name of the organization to the United Nuwaubian Nation of Moors and moved the headquarters to Eatonton, Georgia where an Egyptian village called Tama-Re: Egypt of the West was built. The doctrine also evolved to include Ufology, Sumerianism, Egyptology, Freemasonry, Christianity, Moorish Science, and Native American history.

In April of 2004, Dr. York was sentenced to 135 years in federal prison for molesting 14 boys and girls who were children of his followers.

[edit] Amateur psychological diagnosis from afar

“York's behavior has over the years exhibited overwhelming evidence that he suffers from some form of schizophrenia, which would account for his erratic changes of persona, massive self-aggrandizement, and his numerous fanciful and counterfactual claims about his identity. York's massive and frantic outpouring of literature, especially the tendency for it to have every word capitalized, is also consistent with such a diagnosis.”

user:Jacrosse speculates here that York is schizophrenic, based on his erratic doctrine and idiosyncratic use of language. I think this mostly amounts to "I think he's crazy," though it is couched in medical-sounding language, and is therefore a POV violation. Readers are free to come to their own conclusions about York's mental condition from the evidence of his behavior and do not need to be coached in this regard. -Moorlock 22:43, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cult Leader?

Is there a category for Cult Leader? Also, are there any Native American activists who have pubicly stated they find this philosphy offensive? My Dad's Native and I find this very offensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.63.206.7 (talk) 07:49, 23 January 2007 (UTC).
