Farrakhan is a Thug, Too

"A decree of death has been passed on America. The judgment of God has been rendered and she must be destroyed..."
Louis Farrakhan - 1997

Louis Farrakhan is at it again. With the “Millions More Movement” he has catapulted himself back into the media spotlight in a manner that must make Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton green with envy. One thing that doesn’t get a lot of mention, although most Americans are certainly aware of it, is the fact that Farrakhan isn’t just another “Liberal Black Leader Wannabe.” Farrakhan is the leader of the American Islamic movement, The Nation of Islam.

This is a man who travels the world preaching hatred and racism while concealing it beneath a thin veneer of love and charity. His baseless accusations against Jews and Whites are legendary. Consider some of Farrakhan’s rhetoric…

"When you have people who politically feel that they get their advantage by killing people and blaming it on somebody else, then it makes us wonder what really happened to the Twin Towers... Was the heat from fuel from two airplanes sufficient to compromise the steel in that building? (sic) People had said they heard explosions and the buildings came down like we see old buildings in Vegas or in Florida or in other places, implode... [I]t is the duty of government to either prove the rumor is false or prove that their suspicions are true and that somebody is not only guilty of the mass destruction of billions of dollars worth of property, but that somebody is guilty of mass murder." ... "FEMA is too white to represent us and so is the Red Cross, so we're going to demand our place at the table... FEMA is insensitive because there are not enough blacks high up in FEMA, and certainly the Red Cross is the same. It's too white. It is. If it represents those who are victims of disaster, should not those who are culturally sensitive to us be a part of that?" ... "Every Cuban has a house to live in, no matter how meager. That house is provided by government. Every Cuban who gets sick can go to a doctor or a hospital and get medical attention while 45 million Americans don't have medical insurance. Every Cuban can get education from the kindergarten through college and they don't have to pay. What is Castro doing that we might benefit from—if we are not too arrogant and falsely proud to see what he is doing in a small nation and what we have not been able to do or not been willing to do in the greatest nation on the earth?"—Louis Farrakhan at the "Millions More" rally in DC, which attracted thousands of people
