Check out one facet of Barack Obama's "inner circle" -- most of the women shown here represent a hidden inner circle that has played important roles in getting him elected. The Nation of Islam is not just another neighorbood group. Is the Nation of Islam the next one slated to go under the bus? The photograph underscores the virtually ignored role that Louis Farrakhan and his wife, Mother Khadijah Farrakhan, have played in the political rise of Barack and Michelle Obama. From JET Magazine, a powerful Chicago-based publication, July 26, 2004...

Farrakhan's Sudan Connection Farrakhan’s support to the Sudanese slave masters is yet another example of his utterly reactionary program and purpose.http://www.therant.us/guest/jonsson/2008/02022008.htm

  Nation Of Islam's Lois Farrakhan on the radio [WPAT AM] August 17 2008 [around 5:39 PM]: "If Obama loses fair and square OK, but if not... there will be some consequences..."   1) Will Farrakhan ever say that it was fair and square?   2) What does he mean by consequences, Is he calling for a violent bloody riot (again)?   While his past/present hatred is really troubling, even though he became more sophisticated in his language, yet, I am glad that through his tremendous efforts to hide his venom he is still so transparent when he always talks about "them" &...

We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up. Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.

Barack Obama (B.O.) without a teleprompter makes Elmer Fudd sound like the late Winston Churchill. His wife was never proud of America before the year 2008. If his former Pastor donned a sheet, he could give a good impression of the Grand Cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan. He hangs out with people who attempted to blow up the Pentagon. One of his favorite orators is the "Reverend" Louis Farrakhan. He thinks there are 57 states in America...

Muslim B. Hussein Obama is being highly favored by Islamics in the United States. Per MosqueWatch.com: Muslim Congressman Keith Ellision endorsed the 2008 presidential campaign of Sen. Obama saying "He speaks with a unifying spirit." He said he supports "Obama's message of an open and fair economy, a balanced prosperity and clear opposition to the war in Iraq." National and International Muslim American Leader Imam W.D. Mohammed endorsed Sen. Barack Obama saying "He is the best candidate for the Presidency." All the more, Muslims worldwide are giving their applause to B. Hussein Obama. In addition, the Nation of Islam with...

I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.

The buzz about a tape surfacing of Michelle Obama ranting about "Whitey" together with Louis Farrakhan and the Reverend Jeremiah Wright is interesting, if not a deal breaker. When it comes out, Barack will be permanently branded with the Nation of Islam - not a good tag when running for President of the United States. There is no coincidence that Barrack Obama "quit" his controversial church yesterday, just as news of this tape hit. But his ties with the Nation of Islam do not get cut just because he "quits" the church. "Barack hired two members of the Nation of...

The issues that remain concern Barack Obama's judgment and his credibility. If Pastor Wright agrees to be interviewed by other than Bill Moyers, the questions should ask not for his opinions on various controversies, but for facts about his relationship with the senator. For instance, did Pastor Wright discuss Louis Farrakhan with Obama before during or after they both attended the Million Man March? Were they together during that trip. Did Senator Obama indicated unease with or criticism of Farrakhan? How often did you see Obama at Trinity on Sunday over the past twenty years? Any particular dates you can...

RFFM.org Commentary I know most of you have heard just about enough from the so-called Reverend Jeremiah Wright. I'm sure Barack Obama has. But let's face it, to Republicans and Hillary Clinton, Wright is the gift that keeps on giving. Nothing more really needs to be said. The man is a bona fide hater and those who receive his hate-filled wrath are in some good company. On April 28th Wright spoke at the National Press Club in Washington, D. C. Besides the usual tirade, Wright entered into some revealing dialogue after he was asked about his relationship with Louis Farrakhan....

What do each of the following individuals and organizations have in common? William Ayers (Weatherman Underground bomber, unrepentant domestic terrorist) Jeremiah White (Black Liberation militant, racist, and Pastor) Louis Farrakhan (Nation of Islam Leader, racist, anti-American) The New Black Panther Party (Black Militant Organization, anti-American and racist) Hamas Terrorist Organization (Islamic Terrorist Organisation) They all hate America, they all want to destroy America as we have traditionally known it, they all want the United States to retreat in the war, and they all want to make over the United States into a marxist/socialist/collective nation that is much more disposed toward...

The Black man in America faces a serious economic problem today and the White race’s Christianity cannot solve it. You, the so-called American Negro, with the help of Allah can solve your own problem. The truth must be recognized by the Black man. He, himself, has assisted greatly in creating this serious problem of unemployment, insecurity and lack. Before the Black man can begin to gain economic security, he must be awakened from the dead and gain knowledge, understanding and wisdom which will enable him to follow my teachings. Islam and only Islam will point the way out of the...

The reaction to Sen. Barack Obama's March 18 speech in Philadelphia on his firebrand pastor and race in America shows a generation gap within the black community... Despite criticism that he didn't fully address the angry comments by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Mr. Obama's youth and powerful skills as an orator continue to offer hope to many that he can bridge what he defined in his speech as a national "stalemate" ... Charles Ellison... describes a tension among blacks and a "growing generation gap between new school versus old school." "The new hip-hop generation, there is a focus on economic,...

On the Sunday in 2003 when Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. shouted "God damn America" from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ, he defined damnation as God's way of holding humanity accountable for its actions. Obama has denounced Wright's most provocative remarks, but in a speech on race last week he defended Wright as a person and refused to disown him as his pastor. Sunday after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, Wright preached...the "brutally honest" last verses of Psalm 137, which he said "spotlight the insanity of the cycle of violence." The sound bite taken from the...

THRILLED by the mess the Democrats are making of their presidential nomination contest, Rush Limbaugh, the right-wing radio rabble-rouser, has hit upon a wizard wheeze. He has urged Republicans to register themselves as Democrats in the key primary state of Pennsylvania, and “if they can stomach it” to cast a vote for Senator Hillary Clinton. The aim, says Limbaugh, is to help Clinton prolong the primary race as long as possible, thereby ensuring a Democratic bloodbath at the party’s nominating convention this summer, and handing the White House to Senator John McCain, who is certain of the Republican nomination. Limbaugh...

Black Muslim leader. Born Louis Eugene Walcott on May 11, 1933 in the Bronx, New York. ... was converted to the Nation of Islam by Malcolm X. Following Malcolm X's defection (1963-4), Farrakhan became the national representative for Elijah Muhammad. ... In 1995, along with other prominent black leaders such as Al Sharpton and Barack Obama, Farrakhan helped lead the Million Man March on Washington...

He's a Muslim. He was sworn into office on the Koran. He doesn't say the Pledge of Allegiance. His pastor is an anti-Semite. He's a tool of Louis Farrakhan. He's anti-Israel. His advisers are anti-Israel. He's friends with terrorists. The terrorists want him to win. He's the Antichrist. By now you've probably seen at least some of these e-mails and articles about Barack Obama bouncing around the Internet. They distort Obama's religious faith, question his support for Israel, warp the identity and positions of his campaign advisers and defame his friends and allies from Chicago. The purpose of the smear...

Chicago Sun-Times columnist Mary Mitchell has proven that skin color is deeper than hate in her Sunday column as she scolded Barack Obama for distancing himself from the endorsement of the racist Nation of Islam leader, Louis Farrakhan. Mitchell scoffed at Barack's denouncement of Farrakhan as merely a "game" to placate racist white people and tried to pump up the legitimacy of Farrakhan at the same time. Shockingly Mitchell excused every hateful thing ever said by Farrakhan and said that Barack should have "found a way" to accept Farrakhan's endorsement "without denigrating Farrakhan's legacy." Mitchell scolded Barack Obama because he...

The messianic rhetoric surrounding Barack Obama's presidential run just got a little stranger, although in one sense somewhat fitting. Speaking at the Nation of Islam's annual Saviour's Day event, Louis Farrakhan claimed that Obama could be the only person who could "lift America from its fall," and compared him to NoI founder Fard Mohammed (via Memeorandum): In his first major public address since a cancer crisis, Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that presidential candidate Barack Obama is the "hope of the entire world" that the U.S. will change for the better. The 74-year-old Farrakhan, addressing an estimated...

Barack Obama’s longtime minister, mentor, and sounding board has been a key supporter of Louis Farrakhan and last month honored the Nation of Islam leader for lifetime achievement. Farrakhan has repeatedly made hate-filled statements targeting Jews, whites, America, and homosexuals. He has called whites “blue-eyed devils” and the “anti-Christ.” He has described Jews as “bloodsuckers” who control the government, the media, and some black organizations. “Do you know some of these satanic Jews have taken over BET [the Black Entertainment Network]?” Farrakhan said in a speech on Nov. 11, 2007. “Everything that we built, they have. The mind of Satan...

Circle of Six: The True Story of New York's Most Notorious Cop-Killer and The Cop Who Risked Everything to Catch Him. http://www.amazon.com/Circle-Six-Notorious-Cop-Killer-Everything/dp/1932857397CIRCLE OF SIX The True Story of New York's Most Notorious Cop-Killer and the Cop Who Risked Everything to Catch Him In 1972, New York City was plagued with protests, riots, and general unrest. It was during this defining year that one of the Police Department's most scandalous cases occurred: the murder of Police Officer Phillip Cardillo. On Friday, April 14, 1972, the police were summoned to Mosque Number 7 in Harlem, led at the time by the Nation...

Nation of Islam - An Empty Legacy   By Adrian Morgan    Part Four of Four  Louis Farrakhan has made no public comments about who will succeed him as head of the Nation of Islam. His tenure as leader of the group has been marked by injudicious comments and actions. He reinstated the Fruit of Islam, the bow-tie wearing "soldiers" of NoI. The Fruit of Islam were initially charged to act as security during Jesse Jackson's 1984 presidential campaign. Farrakhan warned the Democratic Party that if Jesse Jackson's demands were not listened to, he would "lead an army of black men...

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is heading into what's billed as his final major address Sunday, and some Muslims are wondering if the fiery orator — now slowed by poor health — will try to repair old divisions between his movement and mainstream Islam. Farrakhan's scheduled appearance at Ford Field, home of the NFL's Detroit Lions, will be his first since ceding leadership last year to an executive board because of illness. The 73-year-old Farrakhan was released last month from the hospital after undergoing a 12-hour abdominal operation to correct damage caused by treatment for prostate cancer. A statement...

Newly elected Representative Keith Ellison is being watched closely, not for his Muslim religion, but for the combination of his religion with activities that might indicate a certain sympathy for various forms of jihad, from imposing the Sharia to terrorism. When enough Canadian-Muslims got themselves into positions of leadership to try to push through the adoption of Sharia law, a province in Canada narrowly escaped coming under its rule. Sharia law, of course, is Muslim religious law, with harsh justice that is administered by imams and not by our civil courts.

Rep. Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democrat newly elected to Congress, took his oath of office with his hand on the Quran, a copy of Islam's holy book once owned by the nation's third president. No one would have been more proud of the moment than Thomas Jefferson, who pointedly believed in religious freedom, not religious tolerance. Ellison, who was born in Detroit, converted to Islam in college. He is the first Muslim elected to Congress, an interesting footnote at a time the first female speaker of the House is installed. His decision to swear allegiance to his office, country and...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIRST MUSLIM IN CONGRESS TO SPEAK AT CAIR EVENT IN VA Keith Ellison will join other elected officials at annual banquet (WASHINGTON, D.C., 11/9/06) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced today that Keith Ellison, the first Muslim in Congress, will join other elected officials as a keynote speaker November 18th at the Washington-based civil rights group’s 12th Annual Banquet in Arlington, Va. CAIR’s dinner, which in past years had sold-out crowds of more than 1,000, will feature addresses by Representative-elect Ellison (D-MN) and Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-MD), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) and Albert Wynn (D-MD)....

COMMISH REOPENS PROBE IN '72 CASE October 8, 2006 -- Police Commissioner Ray Kelly has launched a probe into what is widely considered one of the most embarrassing episodes in NYPD history: the coverup of a cop killing in Louis Farrakhan's Harlem mosque April 14, 1972. Thirty-four years after he landed on the scene of the notorious Harlem mosque murder as a young sergeant, top cop Kelly told The Post he has assigned members of the Major Case Squad to reopen the investigation into the slaying of Police Officer Philip Cardillo inside a Nation of Islam mosque....

I have posted on my blog this morning a video of a Palestinian Imam preaching a sermon - followed by an excerpt from a recent column on "The New Anti-Semitism" by Victor Davis Hanson and some of my comments. It helps to explain the actions by Reuters and the AP during the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict and some other questionable incidents.

I was one of a number of Jewish conservatives who spoke out in defense of Mel Gibson’s film The Passion of The Christ. (See "More Power To Mel," published in FrontPageMag.com on February 10, 2004.) For that, I have no regrets. I believed then – and continue to believe – that The Passion is not anti-Semitic. However, based on what followed Gibson’s drunk-driving arrest on Friday, I’m convinced that the actor/director himself is an anti-Semite. According to various news reports, when he was arrested by a sheriff’s deputy in Malibu for DUI, Gibson was enraged. At one point, he reportedly...

Muslim seeking seat at US Congress is questioned about faith A Minnesota state representative and criminal defense lawyer could soon become the first Muslim member of Congress if he overcomes Jewish criticisms. Keith Ellison, the state-party Democratic endorsed candidate in the liberal-leaning 5th Congressional District has been dogged by questions about his faith as he aims to become the first Muslim member of Congress. He was particularly criticised by Jewish leaders who are worries about the candidate?s ties to the Nation of Islam. "For Jews, there's no ambiguity when it comes to the Nation of Islam," said Stephen Silberfarb, executive...

Criminals Recruited for 'Islamic Army' in America Arnaud de Borchgrave NewsMax.com Wires Wednesday, Aug. 21, 2002 A jury consists of 12 persons chosen to decide who has the better lawyer. Robert Frost's cynical view of the law found a dramatic echo in the land of Magna Carta this month. The defendant's Web site called it "The Ultimate Jihad [Holy War] Experience." Nothing less than a two-week firearms course in the U.S. Cost: $4,700. The man behind the jihad buzz was a British passport-holder, name of Suleyman Balal Zainulabidin. Last October, he became the first Muslim in Britain to be prosecuted...

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was thrust back into the spotlight Wednesday, when a Nation of Islam activist claimed the governor knew about her affiliation to Louis Farrakhan, the Nation of Islam leader known for his attacks on Jews, gays and other groups, before appointing her to the state's hate crimes commission earlier this year. Sister Claudette Muhammad, blasted Blagojevich for saying he did not know her or realize she was an official in the Nation of Islam before appointing her to the anti-discrimination panel. "You and I spoke. We took pictures. ... I have written to you numerous times, all...

Nation of Islam officials said Tuesday that Jewish leaders who resigned rather than serve with one of their members on a state hate crimes commission should come back to the group or "shut up." The commission member, Sister Claudette Marie Muhammad, also said it is ridiculous that she has been condemned for remarks made by her leader Louis Farrakhan, whose speeches have attacked Jews, gays and whites over the years. "For those who try to condemn me because of the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan's remarks ... which were perceived by some as anti-Semitic, it's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous," Muhammad said during...

The Rev. Willie Barrow is the chair or the Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes. That's the group, with little fanfare, which saw Nation of Islam Minister of Protocol Claudette Marie Muhammad join its ranks last August. Since her prominent role in Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam--an organization that can rightly be referred to as a hate group--became public, four Jewish members have resigned the hate crimes panel. This morning, the Reverend Willie Barrow, the chair of the commission, spoke publicly for the first time on what is the top news story in the Land of Lincoln. In a CBS...

If you reside in Detroit, as I do, your radio and TV broadcast airwaves are dominated by live coverage of Rosa Parks' funeral. All other programming is pre-empted -- so we can be lectured by racists and race merchants. Right now, I'm listening to Louis X a/k/a Louis Farrakhan. Why is this racist loon a prominent speaker at this woman's funeral? If he had it his way, Catholics and other Christians, Jews, Whites, Asians, Gays, Arabs, and anyone not Black Muslim would not be riding in the back of the bus: they'd be dead. Is Rosa Parks' funeral the place...

Whatever did happen to Kweisi Mfume? You remember Kweisi, that one-time Baltimore youth hell-raiser who sired five children out of wedlock – but who reformed himself enough to get elected to Congress and then president of the NAACP. He is currently running for the Democratic nomination for U.S. senator from Maryland. So what did Kweisi do on Saturday, Oct. 15? Well, he enlisted as one of the speakers at Louis Farrakhan's "Millions More Movement" event – the 10th anniversary of the (alleged) "Million Man March," which never reached anywhere near that number, then or on the 15th. The Washington Post...

Forty years ago, more than 250,000 people, over 50,000 of them white, marched on Washington led by Dr. Martin Luther King. This past weekend, several thousands of blacks led by the "serpent in the garden," Louis Farrakhan, staged their second version of same. Forty years ago, blacks, whites, Jews, Catholics, Protestants, ad nauseum locked arms and marched to end social injustice. This past weekend, the NAACP, the National Urban League, the Southern Leadership Conference, the Congressional Black Caucus, Jackson, Sharpton and others of their persuasion locked arms with Farrakhan to foment hatred, rage, immiseration, lies and distortion. On that day...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan accused the federal government of "criminal neglect" for its slow response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, during a rally on Saturday marking the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March. Speaking to thousands of African-Americans gathered on the National Mall, he also urged minorities and the poor to work together to improve their lives. In his speech, the highlight of the daylong event, Farrakhan asked why the government did a better job helping the citizens of Florida last year, and why so few lives were lost, when the state was...

RUSH: We got great audio sound bites from Calypso Louie coming up. Calypso Louie's -- what is this thing being called tomorrow? The Million More March. You know, tomorrow is a fascinating day, ladies and gentlemen. Tomorrow is showdown Saturday. This is Open Line Friday. Tomorrow is a Saturday that will test aspirations. It will test hopes and dreams. Will they reject the past and look to building a better future? If you think I'm talking about the referendum in Iraq, you're only partially correct. I am talking about that. They're going to be voting on the constitution there tomorrow....

No, this is not about the Rev. Louis Farrakhan and his march in D.C. Instead, it’s about an article today (15 October) in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer entitled, “ 'Slave syndrome' may still affect black behavior.” The thesis of the professor appears in the early paragraphs: “The troubling images of African Americans displaced by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans' impoverished neighborhoods didn't startle researcher Joy DeGruy-Leary. ‘All Katrina did was reveal what was already there. I wasn't confused, wasn't surprised,’ she said.... “DeGruy-Leary, an assistant professor in Portland State University's Graduate School of Social Work, will discuss her theory of the...

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 /U.S. Newswire/-- The Millions More Movement weekend will kick off Oct. 14 with a powerful Black Family Conference entitled: "Reparations, Healing, and Hurricane Katrina." This historic national event will take place from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. at the Scripture Cathedral Church, located on 9th and O St. NW (2 blocks from the DC Convention Center) in Downtown Washington D.C. Doors will open at 4 p.m. There will be a special guest appearance by Millions More Movement Convener, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, who will offer words of wisdom and guidance. Hosted by National Co-Convener and New...

October 7, 2005 RECLAIMING OUR DESTINY: THE NEW BLACK VANGUARD CONFERENCE II (10/11/05)Black Conservatives To Address Farrakhan’s Millions More Movement; Racism and Hurricane Katrina; Bill Bennett’s Comments and More in D.C. Los Angeles- What role did racism play in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina? Are establishment Black leaders exercising legitimate moral authority or simply fleecing their constituencies? Just days in advance of the Millions More Movement event slated for Washington, DC on October 14-16, prominent Black conservatives from across America will gather to address these and other timely issues confronting Black Americans and the nation at large. The Brotherhood Organization...

Moral poverty cost blacks in New Orleans © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Say a hurricane is about to destroy the city you live in. Two questions:What would you do?What would you do if you were black? Sadly, the two questions don't have the same answer. To the first: Most of us would take our families out of that city quickly to protect them from danger. Then, able-bodied men would return to help others in need, as wives and others cared for children, elderly, infirm and the like. For better or worse, Hurricane Katrina has told us the answer to the second question....

The Politics Of Division Destroy Racial Equality By Kevin Fobbs Hurricane Katrina clearly demonstrated that there are two Americas which Detroiters, metro Detroiters, and many suburban cities bordering on urban centers around the nation share. Each has been bound by an unbreakable bond between racial myths and actual facts. The racially charged rumors that circulated throughout the nation's black communities concerning what many black New Orleans evacuees had been whispering during those first desperate days in the aftermath Hurricane Katrina devastation were clear and convincing to many black Americans. Washington Post columnist, Eugene Robinson had heard it too: that the...

Falwell, Farrakhan, and the ADL's Selective Outrage By Don Feder FrontPageMagazine.com | August 23, 2005 The Anti-Defamation League ostensibly exists to oppose anti-Semitism. And it does – on occasion – when it isn’t too busy bashing evangelicals, fighting Christianity and creating double standards. Despite its reputation, the ADL is not a Jewish organization. There’s nothing distinctly Jewish (i.e., grounded in Jewish law) about its operations. It’s really just another left-wing group, with a leftist agenda. Politically, it is virtually indistinguishable from the American Civil Liberties Union, People for the American Way, or Americans United for the (so-called) Separation of Church...

Florida's beaches will be the draw this weekend as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People hosts a swanky retreat at a Destin resort to help boost its membership among affluent 30- to 40-year-olds. With registration starting at $325, a golf tourney on Sunday and massages i n between, the National Leadership 500 Summit that started Thursday and runs through Sunda y likely will be an exclusive gathering of the country's young black elite. And that's exactly what the NAACP is hoping for. "I have issued a call to my peer group," said Roslyn Brock, 39, summit creator...

The police chief of New Orleans today backed off plans to pay $15,000 to a Nation of Islam leader to give "sensitivity training" to the cities police officers after criticism from local religious leaders. While Chief Eddie Compass initially announced the plan as he sat next to controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, whose fiery sermons and pronouncements have been criticized as racist and anti-Semitic, the city's top cop is now distancing himself from the controversial leader. Compass argued the Nation of Islam's security chief, Capt. Dennis Muhammad, had successfully implemented the program in other cities, including Buffalo, reported...

One year ago, I wrote a piece exposing radical Islam within Florida Atlantic University (FAU). My goal was twofold: [1] to bring awareness concerning a growing problem within FAU [2] to push the university to take action so that this problem ceases to exist. Unfortunately, only the first part of my goal was accomplished, as FAU is continuing to allow radicals on its campus, the latest being this Saturday'S (Jan.22, 2005) return engagement of potential co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Siraj Wahhaj. The Enemy Thrives at FAU In recent times, a fairly large list of...
