Intro
John Andrew Morrow argues in his Finding W.D. Fard that Fard did not have an “identifiable accent”,[44] while A.K. Arian argues in Chameleon that he had a “thick accent”.[45] Accents are relative – there are many accents in the United States, and everyone has his own manner of speech. However, Fard’s direct writing is fraught with spelling and grammar errors, which suggests that he was either foreign or undereducated.
According to Medina Mohammed, the daughter of John Muhammad, Burnsteen “said that he (Fard) had a very heavy accent, and he would often say to them, ‘I hope you understand what I’m trying to say to you.’”[46]
John Muhammad said in his Q&A that Elijah Muhammad would sometimes speak like Master Fard in a “foreign-like” manner.[47] Elijah Muhammad indeed had a unique way of speaking, one that was different even from other members of his family. This may simply have been a speech impediment, or perhaps Fard made a permanent impression on him, so much so that Elijah would mimic his teacher.
