Elijah Muhammad (numba 5)

I don't get why Elijah talks about Malcolm behind is back. I was a little confused about this. Usually when someone talks about someone badly it's because that person is doing something that offends them. I didn't see anything that Malcolm did that Elijah would dislike. All Malcolm does is praise and worship Elijah. He makes sure that Elijah always gets complete credit for Malcolm's speeches. All Malcolm does is talk up Elijah and talk about what a good leader he is. Actually, when I think about it, it must be jelousy. Elijah must feel threatened by Malcolm's popularity. This is probably going to sound stupid, but this really reminds me of the movie Mean Girls. I know you're going to laugh, but think about it. Elijah is Regina George and Malcolm is Cady, or Lindsey Lohan. Regina is the "leader" of the popular girls, just like Elijah is the leader of NOI. Cady starts off as the new girl, a nothing. Malcolm is a poor criminal, a nothing as well. Regina makes Cady popular, just like Elijah does to Malcolm. At the end of the movie, Regina starts getting jelous of Cady and they fight over things like boys and prom queen. Elijah obviously starts to get jelous over Malcolm as well, and begins to talk behind his back. If you saw this great movie, you definately can see where I am coming from.
