The show alarmed New Yorkers, and rebroadcast in full or in part in many regions of the country.  Instead of having a negative impact, however, it triggered exponential growth of the Nation of Islam and even ignited the interest of Arab and African nations in sects.  Within three weeks of broadcast, the Los Angles mosque inducted 500 new members. Similar figures were reported in other large urban areas.
On July 17, the day the installment of a series ran, at least 13,000 African, Arab, East Indian, and African Americans attended a bazaar in Harlem sponsored by the Nation of Islam and various civic groups.  The dinner organizers, who sold tickets bearing the title, "United Fronts of Black Men,". Included prominent New Yorker local and state -level politicians, including Manhattan Borough President Hulan E. Jack and State Senator James Watson.  Among those who attended were Princess Shanyii Zeffii Tau, Executive Director of Radio Free Africa, Egyptian embassy attache' A.Z. Borai  and Aisha's Qutub, Vice President of the Arab Students Association of the United States.
