I believe that after Malcolm went on his Hajj (His trip to Mecca) he came back with a different view of the Muslim faith. And I think that after he had his falling out with Elijah Muhammad he established a new form of Islam for his remaining followers. What was the fundamental difference between his version and the version that Elijah Muhammad preached? Did it have a different name?
I could find this out on my own but that would defeat the purpose of Mylot. So anybody know?

I believe that he adheared more to the teachings of traditional Islamic faith. In the version that Elijah Muhammad established he himself was a prophet and they also teached a lot of hatred for those that were not of color. While Muhammad was trying to make himself seem holier than thou, Malcolm was finding out a lot of different "sins" that Elijah was committing. So while away on Hajj, Malcolm saw muslims of all colors getting along and concentrating on harmony amongst themselves. He believed that this was the right teachings. I think that that was the basic differences (that and that Elijah was just an ordinary man, not a prophet)
