A "Moor" was a historical term used by Europeans for diverse North African Muslim peoples (Arabs, Berbers) who ruled parts of Spain (al-Andalus) from the 8th to 15th centuries, later broadening to refer generally to dark-skinned Muslims, including Black Africans, and today denoting the Arab-Berber ethnic group in Mauritania. The term lacks precise ethnological meaning and was used loosely by Europeans, often linking it to dark skin or Islam, as seen in Shakespeare's Othello.

Simply and absolutely put, no. We will never tell you who to ground your faith. We will teach you all religions of the world, but who your soul finds rest in is completely up to you. Atheists however, do not have a place in the Moorish Fraternal Order of Elites, as we believe every man and woman should be grounded in some sort of morale based faith.

Good question. The omega sign pays homage to God as proclaimed in Revelation 22:13, the alpha and the omega, the beginning & the end.  As our ancestors were the beginning of a beautiful culture, we have found it, made it our own and will carry it to the end.
The Africa in the center symbolizes the motherland Africa and all its beauty being the root of our foundation.
The “e” represents the elites.
We have 8 stars for the 8 houses in the Moorish Order of Elites, and the olive branch denotes we are led by peace in our initial approach to man.

We are an organization that was created to stimulate the Black American community & develop new black pillars. We teach financial literacy, self-defense, law, Black American history & accomplishments amongst other things, while also engaging in community service for our elders & individuals facing hardship.

Whether you consider yourself an African American, Foundational Black American, or purely African, this is a home for you.  In the eyes of our English white counterparts, a Moor was generalized to be someone of melanated skin.  Those qualities are welcomed with open arms into a sense of belonging here.  Regardless who your DNA places you with, a Moor within our walls belongs to a culture, not a bloodline.

Moors were a diverse community of successful melanated individuals that built a self-sustaining society. They ran that society successfully for well over seven centuries.  We look to utilize that blueprint & improve upon it, as our ancestors would have intended.
