====Jesus and Muhammad====

According to York, [[Jesus]] was the biological son of the angel [[Gabriel]], who had had sex with Jesus' mother [[Mary, mother of Jesus|Mary]].{{sfn|Knight|2020|p=16}}
In his 1980 book ''Was Christ Really Crucified?'', York claimed that Jesus escaped crucifixion and then traveled throughout Africa and the Middle East.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|p=40}} This was an idea that probably derived ultimately from [[Levi H. Dowling]]'s ''[[Aquarian Gospel of Jesus]]''.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|p=40}}

In York's view, the Islamic prophet [[Muhammad]] was a black Nubian, something that has been concealed by pale Arab Muslims.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|p=67}}
York taught that the [[Buraq]], an animal that Muhammad allegedly rode into the heavens in Islamic belief, was actually a fleet of spaceships.{{sfn|Knight|2020|p=22}} He maintained that these ships will one day ascend to Earth to gather the 144,000.{{sfn|Knight|2020|p=22}}
For York, the first three [[Caliphs]] who succeeded Muhammad were all usurpers.{{sfn|Palmer|2010|p=67}}
In his view, Muhammad's "unmistakably black" daughter [[Fatima]] and son-in-law [[Ali]] had to flee persecution by the "pale Arab" [[Abu Bakr]].{{sfn|Knight|2020|p=24}}
