W. Deen Mohammed still held some pagans beliefs in 1978

It is alleged that in 1976 Warith Deen abandoned the teaching of his father Elijah Muhammad and led half a million members of the Nation of Islam into mainstream Orthodox Islam.
But in a 1978 interview with Johnny Barnes Selvin of KTVU News Warith Deen acknowledges he has not completely rejected the belief that Fard Muhammad was Allah in the person. He said, “There is something true about it”.
