Is Scientology Auditor Nation of Islam Sister Nayyirah Tivica Mohammad violating Florida law by offering or delivering "Mental Health Therapy" without a license?

The question is not rhetorical. I do not know the answer. I am simply raising the issue

Sister Nayyirah Tivica Muhammad's "Repair of the Black Family" website states that she is offering "Mental Health Therapy" for $125 for five hours.

This is an honest question.

Do N.O.I. $cientology auditors ever audit white people?
Would they?

I find it strange that people so hung up on skin color can take a viewpoint of "we're all spiritual beings."

Or are N.O.I. auditors only auditing blacks, or other N.O.I. people?

The Nation of Islam is licensed by the Church of Scientology to train, trains, and uses its own Dianetics Auditors. They obviously audit only Black people and other people of color in NOI mosques because only Black people and other people of color can join the NOI.

NOI members are also, however, training at Scientology Orgs to become Scientology Classed Auditors (i.e., using the Scientology E-Meter). NOI Minister Tony Muhammad is a Class 4 Auditor. NOI members delivering such Scientology Auditing in Scientology Orgs do audit White people.

For example, Alexander Ofori-Muhammad is a NOI member who works at the Church of Scientology of London as a Class 5 Auditor. In the below graphic from 2017 he writes about making his third Clear, who happened to be White:

As to your larger point, there is absolutely no evidence that the NOI is changing its theology regarding White people. IMHO opinion the probability of that happening is precisely zero.

So, N.O.I. is an openly racist orgnization?

So, N.O.I. is an openly racist orgnization?
News flash: America is full of racist doctrines and racist organizations, not all of which are white. There's plenty of hate and prejudice to go around.

Yes. I honestly thought everyone knew that the Nation of Islam is a racist organization.

Below is an excerpt from the Wikipedia article on Yakub and Nation of Islam scriptures regarding the origin of the White race.

Yakub (Nation of Islam)


Yakub (Nation of Islam) - Wikipedia


* * * * * BEGIN EXCERPT * * * * *

In the beliefs of the Nation of Islam (NOI), Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yaqub) was a black scientist who lived "6,600 years ago" and began the creation of the white race. He is said to have done this through a form of selective breeding referred to as "grafting", while living on the island of Patmos. The Nation of Islam theology states that Yakub is the biblical Jacob. The story has caused disputes within the NOI during its history. Under its current leader Louis Farrakhan, the NOI continues to assert that the story of Yakub is true, claiming that modern science is consistent with it.[1]

Story

The story of Yakub originated in the writings of Wallace Fard Muhammad, the founder of the Nation of Islam, in his doctrinal Q&A pamphlet Lost Found Moslem Lesson No. 2.[2] It was developed by his successor Elijah Muhammad in several writings, most fully in a chapter entitled "The Making of Devil" in his book Message to the Blackman in America.[3]

Yakub is said to have been born in Mecca at a time when 30% of original black people were "dissatisfied".[4] He was a member of the Meccan branch of the Tribe of Shabazz. Yakub acquired the nickname "big head", because of his unusually large head and his arrogance. At the age of six, he discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets made of steel.[5] This insight led to a plan to create new people. He "saw an unlike human being, made to attract others, who could, with the knowledge of tricks and lies, rule the original black man."[5] By the age of 18, he had exhausted all knowledge in the universities of Mecca. He then discovered that the "original black man" contained both a "black germ" and a "brown germ". With 59,999 followers, he went to an "isle in the Aegean Sea called Pelan", which Muhammad identifies with Patmos. Once there, he established a despotic regime and set about breeding out the black traits, killed all darker babies, and created a brown race after 200 years. Yakub died at the age of 152, but his followers carried on his work. After 600 years of this deliberate eugenics, the white race was created.[6] The brutal conditions of their creation determined the evil nature of the new race: "by lying to the black mother of the baby, this lie was born into the very nature of the white baby; and, murder for the black people was also born in them—or made by nature a liar and murderer".[3]

The new race traveled to Mecca where they caused so much trouble they were exiled to "West Asia (Europe), and stripped of everything but the language....Once there, they were roped in, to keep them out of Paradise....The soldiers patrolled the border armed with swords, to prevent the devils from crossing."[3] For many centuries they lived a barbaric life, surviving naked in caves and eating raw meat, but eventually they were drawn out of the caves by Moses who "taught them to wear clothes". Moses tried to civilize them, but eventually gave up and blew up 300 of the most troublesome of them with dynamite.[7] However, they had learned to use "tricknology" to usurp power and enslave the black population, bringing the first slaves to America. According to The Autobiography of Malcolm X, all the races other than the black race were by-products of Yakub's (spelled Yacub in the biography) work, as the "red, yellow and brown" races were created during the "bleaching" process;[4] however, the "black race" included Asian peoples, considered to be shared ancestors of the Moors. "Whites" were defined as Europeans. Elijah Muhammad also asserted that some of the new white race "tried to graft themselves back into the black nation, but they had nothing to go by." As a result, they became gorillas. "A few were lucky enough to make a start, and got as far as what you call the gorilla. In fact, all of the monkey family are from this 2,000 year history of the white race in Europe."[3]

According to NOI doctrine, Yakub's progeny were destined to rule for 6,000 years before the original black peoples of the world regained dominance, a process that had begun in 1914.[8][9][10]
