There’s also the matter of Tony Muhammad, the West Coast regional minister of the Nation of Islam and whose face is plastered all over the Scientology website. He’s also the recipient the IAS Freedom Medal, the church’s most coveted award, for spreading its teachings.
“It’s such an ugly marriage of convenience between these two, and it’s going to ultimately end in an ugly divorce, because both of these organizations believe that they are the only true answer,” explains Rinder. “Scientology, through David Miscavige, has done enormous things to try to engage and involve the Nation of Islam in Scientology. They have subsidized their involvement and given the highest Scientology awards to Tony Muhammad, the West Coast leader of the Nation of Islam. They have Nation of Islam people showing up to their events, acting as security people; and conversely, Farrakhan is preaching from his pulpit about the ‘great man’ L. Ron Hubbard who’s come to save the Black man. It’s utterly insane.”
And when it comes to Muhammad’s involvement with Scientology, few people may know more than Remini—who says she served as Muhammad’s handler of sorts.
“When I was introduced to Tony Muhammad at Celebrity Centre, he was in a very tough spot. He was not doing well financially. He wasn’t making money, and yet he was working for Farrakhan as the Nation of Islam’s West Coast representative,” she says. “Celebrity Centre asked me to buddy him and indoctrinate him into Scientology, and that’s exactly what happened. Since he couldn’t even pay his rent, I ended up sponsoring him for his first introductory courses. Celebrity Centre asked me to do this. And he’s never paid me back and blocked me on Twitter.”
“I considered myself a friend to Tony and his family, yet I received threats [from the Farrakhan speech],” Remini continues. “And you receive a 10 percent commission any time you get somebody to do a Scientology service, and you’re called a ‘staff member’ once you start promoting Scientology courses—which is what they’ve done. So I think there’s also a financial benefit to the Nation of Islam telling their followers to study Scientology.”

Remini also revealed that Joy Villa, the Scientologist pitchwoman, was part of President Trump's Campaign Advisory Board having "infiltrated" the Administration. "I don't know how this continues to be a thing. It should be criminal," she said

The actress also thinks that there's a financial benefit for the Church of Islam to tell their followers to study Scientology. The West Coast's regional minister for the Nation of Islam, Tony Muhammad, also appeared to use the commission associated with Scientology.
"You receive a 10 percent commission any time you get somebody to do a Scientology service, and you're called a 'staff member' once you start promoting Scientology courses," said Remini. She also shared that she loaned Muhammad money when he first joined the church. The actress also claimed that he never paid her back and blocked her on Twitter.
"So I think there's also a financial benefit to the Nation of Islam telling their followers to study Scientology," she told The Daily Beast
