Introduction

The United Nation of Islam (U.N.O.I.) headquarters is in Kansas City, Kansas. It was founded in 1993 by Royall Jenkins who is the Spiritual Head of the U.N.O.I. His title is Royall, Allah in Person The United Nation of Islam is a separate, distinct and completely non-related entity from the similar sounding Nation of Islam as led by Min. Louis Farrakhan.

Originator and Spiritual Head of the UNOI

Royall was born in 1942 in South Carolina and grew up on Maryland's Eastern shore. He married at the age of 16 and later moved to New York and accepted a duty as a long-distance truck driver in Elijah Muhammad's Nation of Islam. He remained a member until the passing of Elijah Muhammad. Approximately three and a half years later, according to Royall, he was approached by two scientists who he refers to as angels who caused him to became aware of himself and his purpose. In 1989, after speaking with Min. Louis Farrakhan, who was uninterested in any cooperation with Royall, Royall established the U.N.O.I.

History

The United Nation of Islam was incorporated on 7 June 1993, in the state of Delaware. The United Nation of Islam is a federally recognized, tax exempted, Nation. The purpose of this Nation, according to its charter, is for the charitable, educational and scientific upliftment of the Blackman in North America, as well as anyone else who has the will to assist in this endeavor. The United Nation of Islam is established to train, educate, teach, and develop the skills and aptitudes of people in trades, manufacturing, contracting, building, erecting, and each and every kind of industrial pursuit, business, commerce, farming and science which will be of benefit to the Nation as well as the planet. The difference between The United Nation of Islam and the Nation of Islam is the mathematical and practical application of the teachings of Royall. The United Nation of Islam practice Islam as a way of life and its members operate from a practical application of Mathematical Thinking. According to the U.N.O.I. Mathematical Thinking is; "the gathering of facts to arrive at an absolute answer without adding the person/opinion to it". Its members manifest tangible nation building assets which support food, clothing, shelter, transportation, communication etc. in order for them to practice their mathematical way of life at home and abroad. In contrast; the Nation of Islam operates as a religion.

When The United Nation of Islam arrived in the Quindaro area of Kansas City, Kansas, in 1996, neighborhood businesses were laced with fortified security bars. Paying customers were sparse. The area had a reputation for being one of the worst in the city — a place where drug deals, prostitution, armed robberies, shootings and murder were a part of everyday life. Thanks in part to efforts of The United Nation of Islam, Wyandotte County is working its way to the forefront of urban renewal across the country. After establishing and developing the motion in Kansas City, the group moved its national and international headquarters to Kansas City in 2001.

Members brought with them a passion — a detailed, and some might say, unorthodox plan — to resuscitate and beautify a section of the community that was on life support. This is a place historically known as a safe-haven for slaves fleeing from captivity through The Underground Railroad. This same place, especially Quindaro Blvd., later degenerated into a distressed, blighted, crime infested and impoverished area. Now hope has been resurrected and the promise of a successful community restored, because of the business ventures of The United Nation of Islam. These businesses are in fact extended classrooms of The United Nation of Islam’s University system; such as their many restaurants, Supermarket & Bakeries, Your Service Station (full service), Clean Wash (Laundromat), Designs for Life (Sewing School & Factory), In Your Midst (fine apparel), Community House of Wellness (medical center), Fountain of Youth (holistic health), to name a few, have been recognized locally and internationally because of the drastic “CHANGE” in this particular community.

Activities

The United Nation of Islam has established Mathematical Thinking and Civilization classes which are taught in the local "Allah's Temple Academies" or Study Classes. The U.N.O.I.’s business entities are the physical classrooms where those who are learning how to think Mathematically can produce that which is tangible, that reflects their Mastery of Absolute Thinking (Mathematical Thinking). According to the U.N.O.I. the system of thinking, called Mathematical Thinking, is the gathering of facts to come to absolute answers without putting a person to it. Royall teaches that Mathematical Thinking eliminates the need for followers or leaders, since math is not a respecter of a person.

Members of the U.N.O.I. operate as volunteers in various activities that operate as classrooms to practice Mathematical Thinking. The U.N.O.I.-owned businesses include a full-service gas station, several restaurants and bakeries, a sewing factory, a university, a construction company, alternative-energy programs, and a wide range of other endeavors. All full-time volunteers' food, clothing, shelter, heath care, transportation, and all other needs are provided by the very activity in which they participate, freeing them to focus on the idea that they are participating in, without any distractions or limitations on what they can produce.

The U.N.O.I. also hosts regular "Civilization Classes". Temple meetings are held at all "Allah's Temple Academies". The U.N.O.I. hosts several call-in TV and radio programs across the United States. Royall appears regularly on these programs. In addition, Royall tours various cities to speak and to answer questions.
