Question: Ask The Nuwaupians, Where Was Malachi York Between The Years 1964 - 1967?

Answer: They'll say he was writing books.

 

The truth of the matter is simple, York was arrested on October 24, 1964 (age 19), remained in New York State custody, and was sentenced on July 13, 1965 for 3 years till he was paroled October 20, 1967, attending weekly meetings with his parole officer, and completely free from the penal system on September 16, 1968. 

 

 

York confirms his incarceration when he said,

"Many Sunni Muslims will say, you know, I know him, I remember him in 1965 when he came into State Street and took his Shahada, a brother Luqman gave it to him, first of all, I was in Sajin in 1965, I was in prison in 1965, I didn't get out until 1967, so you got wrong information again..."

Please Note: 

Although York makes multiple claims of attending the State Street Islamic Mission of America since he was "12 years old", there are NO images of York at State Street, with Sheikh Daoud, other members, inside or out.  All York shows is a birth certificate that he claims, Sheikh Daoud issued to him in the 1950's, but this has not been independently verified, corroborated nor dated.  The only photo's York has or has ever been seen, are from Sheikh Daoud's visits to York's Brooklyn community in the late 1970's, with one York claims was in 1974.

 

 

 

 

 

Nevertheless, the reason this is being question is being addressed, is because York has made the claim since 1991 that he authored at least 2 publications called, BIAE (Bible Interpretations And Explanations) and Nine Ball under the name, Amunubi Rahkaptah.  Unfortunately for his followers, York was in jail from 64 to 67. 

 

"Also, I Translated The Book Of The Coming Forth By Day, Called The Egiptian Book Of The Dead From Hieroglyphics As AMUNUBI RAHKAPTAH. I Also Released A Series Of Books Called Behind The Nine Ball and Bible Interpretations and Explanations."

-Malachi York: The Sacred Wisdom The Grand Hierophant Tehuti "Thoth"

 

He says that he wrote those books back in 1967, which would be after his jail time, but that would be false because in 1966 as found in the progressive magazine for "black America" at the time called The "Liberator", November 1966 on pages 22 and 23, there's a commentary written by an individual named, Amunubi Rahkaptah. 

 

The above commentaries by "Amunubi Rahkaptah" can still be found and accessed in the,

The good brother James West took the time to do his research and seek out the facts, and was able to locate this rare find which proves without a doubt that Malachi York, who was in jail in 1966, could NOT have been or used the pen name Amunubi Rahkaptah.

 

Fact:

According to Malachi York, he was still involved in Islam in 67 as "Ansar Pure Sufi", and working to be the successor to his alleged mentor, Sheikh Daoud Ahmad Faisal, and there is NO mention of the name Amunubi Rahkaptah in any York writings prior to the 1990's,  that's because York was fresh out of jail, looking for an innovative way to make money, and the religion of Islam was used as the gimmick he chose.  

According to York only, he claims that Sheikh Daoud wanted him to be the successor of the Islamic Mission of America, and this was in the late 1960's, after his time in jail, which is inconsistent because how was he developing his Islamic community in the 60's, yet claiming in the 1990's that he was originally teaching "Nuwaubu" and because the people weren't ready for it, he had to start first with Islam? 

 

 

"That's the man who gave me this direction.  I was never in one of his followers, he was my mentor, I'd go there, but I had my own congregation, and he told them, go join that man, coming to me, he is the savior for this time...I was not interested in hearing about that in 1968, 69 and 70, I didn't care about it, I was busy worried building my own nation, however, he eventually gave me a certificate, and made me his successor,  a certificate I have today which I was not interested in being a part of the Islamic Mission of America, cause it housed a whole bunch of Pakistani Demons, and a whole bunch of confused Negroes who didn't know what they wanted to be, so we broke off and formed what we referred to as the Nubian Islamic Hebrews, enough Hebrew to keep the Muslims away, and enough Islam to keep the Hebrews away so we could do our own thing..."

-Malachi York: Leave My Stuff Alone (audio)

 

York would give more insight on why he created his Islamic organization, the Nubian Islamic Hebrews, a religious cult designed to keep other groups away,

 

"...how would I create a CULT that would isolate itself from everybody, the Sunni's would leave us alone, the Nation of Islam would leave us alone, the Christians would leave us alone and the Israelites and Hebrews would leave us alone, I said well the first thing is the symbol needs to be different...take a six-pointed star and crescent and anhk, that'll work, call em the Nubian Islamic Hebrews, that'll work...the scene was set, as I went through these different stages, I changed my name every two years to keep the attention off me..."

-Malachi York: Why We Used Islam (audio)

 

 

In both quotes above about Sunni Pakistani Muslims, W.D. Fard Muhammad, Christians ect.,  there's no mention of Amunubi Rahkaptah, BIAE (Bible Interpretations And Explanations) or the Nine Ball books of the 1960's, so it stands to reason that York concocted the story being the author of those books in the late 1960's after his 3 year jail stint from October 24, 1964 to October 20, 1967 when he was finally paroled and while on parole, he reported to his parole officer weekly, until that was completed on September 16, 1968.

Years later, York would address the issue of "Afroo Oonoo" and  "Amunubi Rahkaptah" in jail and prison letters where he makes the following statements.

 

 

And there you have it.  York makes no mention of Amunubi Rahkaptah, BIAE, Nine Ball, Afroo Onoo prior to 1990, and it's not until after his conviction that he writes about not being Amunubi Rahkaptah of the BIAE book etc.  The cited page below has York boasting about his activities in the late 1960's, (1967 - the 1970's) regarding Shaikh Daoud, and again, NO references to Amunubi Rahkaptah or writing books pre-Islam (1967-69).

 

 

So based on York's arrest history, his lectures on his life in the 1960's, and letters to his followers after his conviction, and the researched material from the Liberator magazine, it's safe to conclude that York was not the author of any publications during the 1960's, and defiantly not under the pen name Amunubi Rahkaptah.
