The term "Moorish American" has different meanings depending on the context. Here are some of the meanings that can be found in the search results:

• Moorish Sovereign Citizens: This is a movement of individuals and independent organizations that emerged in the early 1990s as an offshoot of the Moorish Science Temple of America. They espouse an antigovernment doctrine in which its members claim to be part of a sovereign nation. For some who identify themselves as "Moor," "Moorish" or something similar, there is a belief that a fictitious 1787 treaty between the United States and Morocco grants them immunity from U.S. law. Moorish sovereign citizens often display an emblem that consists of a scarlet red rectangular banner or flag with a five-pointed green star located just left of center. They refer to themselves with a series of Africanized names that incorporate the words "bey" or "el," or a combination of the two. Moorish sovereigns have not shown widespread interest in deploying explosive or incendiary devices, but a small number of them have pursued more violent paths and participated in terrorist plots.

• Moorish Science Temple of America: This is an American national and religious organization founded by Noble Drew Ali in the early 20th century. One primary tenet of the Moorish Science Temple is the belief that African Americans are of "Moorish" descent, specifically from the "Moroccan Empire." To join the movement, individuals had to proclaim their "Moorish nationality." They were given "nationality cards." In religious texts, adherents refer to themselves racially as "Asiatics," as the Middle East is also western Asia. Adherents of this movement are known as "Moorish-American Moslems" and are called "Moorish Scientists" in some circles. Moorish Americans honor the Divine Creed and Principles of their ancient fathers and mothers which predate Arabic traditions. Moorish Americans cannot commit any acts of terrorism or "put in danger or accuse falsely his brother or sister on any occasion at all that may harm his brother or sister." They practice being TRUE American Citizens. It is their duty to protect their country. Moorish Americans do not speak Arabic. As Citizens of the United States of America, they speak American English, the predominant language spoken in the U.S.A. Moorish Americans do not have to dress like Arabs, Africans or Hindus.

In summary, the term "Moorish American" can refer to members of the Moorish Sovereign Citizens movement or adherents of the Moorish Science Temple of America. The former espouses antigovernment beliefs and claims to be part of a sovereign nation, while the latter is a religious organization that believes African Americans are of "Moorish" descent and honors the Divine Creed and Principles of their ancient fathers and mothers.
