Excerpts from the F.B.I.'s file on W. D. Fard, a.k.a. Wallie Dodd Ford, a.k.a. Wallace Dodd, a.k.a., a.k.a. Wallace Farad, a.k.a. Prophet Fard Mohammed, a.k.a. F. Mohammed Ali, a.k.a. Muck-Muck, a.k.a. David El, a.k.a. Allah. 

Fard is the founder of the Nation of Islam, and considered by followers to be the Mahdi.  Prior to the founding of the Nation of Islam, during WWII, Fard was the Supreme Being of the Allah Temple of Islam in Chicago.  He disappeared in 1934, and was succeeded by Elijah Mohammad.

"As of early August, 1942, it was noted that the Allah Temple of Islam met at 104 E. 51st. St., Chicago, on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.  It was also noted that the Supreme Being of the organization, W.D. Farad, was reported to be in Mecca."

"On 7/27/42, (redacted) Chicago, was interviewed.  At that time, she advised of her attendance at two Moslem meetings in Chicago.  (Redacted) stated that the Moslems preached at their meeting that there was no God but Allah, that the white man's God was really the Devil and that the true Allah was a living individual who was presently the head of the Japanese army."

"The report stated that W. D. Farad, also known as "Muck-Muck", apparently was the Son of Man who was then in the East in the Holy City of Mecca, which was the one and only Heaven."

Exhibit No. 177, taken from the home of Elijah Mohammed during his arrest on 9/20/1942:

"Pen and ink sketch entitled "Calling the Four Winds" which was a picture of a US map containing a figure in the center identified as Fard.  Guns, bearing the name Asia on the barrels, pointed to the US from each side.  The drawing bore the signature of R. Sharrieff (an Islam Temple member)."

"In a signed statement, dated 9/20/42, [redacted] furnished information regarding his membership in the Islam Temple.  He also stated his belief that the present war would be won by Japan at which time Japan would free all of the black people on earth.  He advised that in such case he would assist the Japanese government in any manner with the exception of bearing arms, 'as the Japanese have been designated to do the fighting with arms by Allah W. D. Fard.'"

There are references in the document to Nation of Islam members as "Asiatics", and Fard is described as the "Finder of the Lost Nation of Asia."  Fard's birth nation is not known (possibly Afghanistan), but Nation of Islam members may have used the term "Asian" as it is used in the U.K.  The fact that Japan was also "Asian" may have had some significance, and caused them to feel some misplaced kinship with the Japanese, of course in addition to the fact that they were waging war against the U.S.
