The heat is rising against the Justice Department's mishandling of the voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and three of its members. The last thing Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. needed was for the party's national chieftain to resurface in Mr. Holder's defense, but that's exactly what Malik Zulu Shabazz, the party chairman, did on Dec. 4. It says a lot about the Obama Justice Department that it is being promoted by a Black Panther. In doing so, Mr. Shabazz refocused the spotlight on the fact that he was one of the original defendants for whom...

DALLAS (AP) - The U.S. Justice Department made the right call in dismissing a voter intimidation lawsuit against the New Black Panther Party and recent questions about that ruling are a "political witch hunt" to discredit Attorney General Eric Holder, the party's leader said this week. Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense, told The Associated Press the civil lawsuit filed by the federal government had "no merit" because the party doesn't condone voter intimidation. Shabazz said he was speaking publicly about the issue for the first time because he wanted to set the...

Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the radical New Black Panther Party, refused to confirm or deny to WND whether he visited the White House since President Obama took office, despite his name appearing on a recent administration disclosure. Shabazz's namesake was among the 110 names and 481 visits released by the White House on Friday as part of the Obama administration's so-called volunteer disclosure policy. The names were just a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of visitors who have gone through the White House's doors since January. Among the famous names that stood out on the brief list...

In February, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. noted that it was hard to talk about race, but cowardly not to try. In that spirit, he should answer questions being raised about the dismissal of a voter-intimidation case involving a hate group in Philadelphia. If you missed the incident, it's understandable. It was a YouTube blip on a historic election day. On Nov. 4, two black men in paramilitary uniforms, one wielding a nightstick, were reported harassing voters at a polling place. It had no effect on Barack Obama's landslide win in the city. He doesn't condone the hate group...

Key House Republicans are charging Attorney General Eric Holder of playing politics at the Justice Department. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) said Holder has ignored at least three letters sent over the past month from Republicans demanding to know why Justice dismissed charges of voter intimidation filed against two members of the “New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense” (NBPP). NBPP National Chairman Milik Zulu Shabazz and party member Jerry Jackson both faces charges for violating the Voting Rights Act for engaging in coercion, threats and intimidation and attempted coercion, threats, and intimidation of voters and those aiding voters at a Philadelphia...

Charges brought against three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense under the Bush administration have been dropped by the Obama Justice Department, FOX News has learned. The charges stemmed from an incident at a Philadelphia polling place on Election Day 2008 when three members of the party were accused of trying to threaten voters and block poll and campaign workers by the threat of force -- one even brandishing what prosecutors call a deadly weapon. The three black panthers, Minister King Samir Shabazz, Malik Zulu Shabazz and Jerry Jackson were charged in a civil complaint in the...

Good news: Someone in the Justice Department took the Election Day intimidation tactics of the New Black Panther Party in Philadelphia seriously. The DOJ filed an injunction today against the NBPP bullies over their billyclub-wielding thuggishness at a Philly polling place, which was captured on video: Remember?

Ayman Al Zawahiri the second in command of Al Qaeda released an audio tape today stating that the election of Obama is a defeat for the United States and a victory for Al Qaeda. He said that the American people admitted defeat in Iraq and therefore they elected Obama because they rejected President Bush policies in Iraq. He also warned Obama not to send more troops in Afghanistan and told him to leave that country. Below is the full translation of terrorist Zawahiri speech as posted on one terrorist forum:

(Khalid Muhammed. remember him?) He gained publicity in 1996, for instance, by joining with the NBPP in its battles with the Dallas school board. For several years, the group had disrupted board meetings demanding greater black representation; with Muhammad on board, Michaels went further, insisting on the resignation of the school board president, whom he described as "Nazi Germany all over. He is a dictator." When three members of the NBPP, including Michaels, were arrested on misdemeanor charges for preventing the board from meeting, Michaels and Muhammad issued a joint news release calling for "Black men with GUNS" to protect...

Just as Sen. Barack Obama sought to distance himself from controversial racial remarks made by his pastor, an anti-American government, anti-white and virally anti-Semitic black supremacist party has endorsed the presidential candidate on Obama's own website. "Obama will stir the 'Melting Pot' into a better 'Molten America,'" states an endorsement from the New Black Panther Party, or NBPP, which is a registered team member and blogger on Obama's "MyObama" campaign website. The NBPP is a controversial black extremist party whose leaders are notorious for their racist statements and for leading anti-white activism. Malik Zulu Shabazz, NBPP national chairman, who has...

YONKERS, N.Y. -- Malcolm X's grandson was arrested early Thursday after punching a hole in a doughnut shop's window, sending shattered glass onto two patrons, police said. Malcolm Shabazz, 21, was picked up at about 1 a.m. in Mount Vernon, Yonkers police said. He was charged with reckless endangerment, assault and criminal mischief. The two patrons, a 19-year-old man and a 23-year-old woman, suffered cuts from the glass shards and were taken to a hospital, police said. "They were just sitting in the place and here comes this guy from outside and he put his fist through the window," Detective...

Duke Rape Prosecutor Shares Evidence with Black Panthers -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Jim Kouri May 2, 2006 Malik Zulu Shabazz, an attorney with the New Black Panthers, told Fox News Channel Tuesday that the prosecutor in the Duke rape case shared information and evidence with the Panthers during a meeting. In an interview with Fox News Channel's Brian Kilmeade and Juliet Huddy, Shabazz said that members of his group, who are protesting the treatment of the alleged victim of a rape by the Duke University lacrosse team, met with the prosecutor to review his evidence against the students. Shabazz claims the evidence...

[snip] "We are conducting an independent investigation, and we intend to enter the campus and interview lacrosse players," Shabazz said Thursday. "We seek to ensure an adequate, strong and vigorous prosecution." Duke is a private institution, and its campus is private property. Shabazz said he has not sought permission to enter but that his group has "received no word that we are not welcome." John Burness, Duke's vice president for public affairs and community relations, said Thursday that the university will allow a controlled march on campus, as long as the New Black Panthers follow specific rules. "As an institution...

Ex-president Bill Clinton is endorsing Nation of Islam chief Minister Louis Farrakahan's "Million More March" over the objections of the Anti-Defamation League, which is urging top politicians to avoid the October event because they say that both Farrakhan and march organizer Malik Zulu Shabazz are anti-Semitic. "I think this is a very positive idea,” Clinton told the Amsterdam News this week in an interview from his Harlem office. "I like the idea of a march," he continued. "It’s fine to be concerned about [homeland] security, but we also have to keep trying to make America strong and better here at...

NEW YORK - Saddened and disheartened by their possible involvement in the "Millions More Movement", the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is urging prominent African-American leaders to reconsider their support for the march and its anti-Semitic organizers, Minister Louis Farrakhan and Malik Zulu Shabazz. Organizers scheduled a news conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. to discuss plans for the October 14-16 march, which will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 1995 Million Man March on Washington. In a letter to more than 30 prominent Black leaders listed as supporting the march, including Rev. Jesse Jackson, Rev. Al Sharpton, Dr....

Call it the anti-Zionist trifecta. On March 14th Norman Finkelstein, DePaul University professor and author of such books as The Holocaust Industry and Beyond Chutzpah: On the Misuse of Anti-Semitism and the Abuse of History spoke at Pittsburgh’s Carnegie Mellon University. Sponsored by the Pittsburgh Palestinian Solidarity Committee, Mr. Finkelstein was actually the second anti-Israeli speaker the PSC brought onto campus. On February 3, the PSC welcomed Ali Abuminah, founder of the so-called “Electronic Intifada,” a website dedicated to promulgating information on Israel’s “37-year-old occupation” of Palestine. “You have to question what Arab students see in common between someone like...

Carnegie Mellon University student Sen. Edward Ryan had two questions for Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. "First, do you hate me as a white person?" "I have been taught to respect all people," Shabazz replied. "But I have certain presumptions from what I know, and when I look at you, I do think you are a racist." Ryan then asked if Shabazz could put aside the color of his skin and shake his hand -- a request which Shabazz initially rejected. "I cannot put aside the color of my skin," he said....

Ideally, the college campus would be a safe haven for the free exchange of ideas, no matter how outlandish or out-of-the-mainstream they may be. In a perfect world, universities would invite speakers and hire professors based solely on the notion that having the most diverse group of academics is the most important thing to a college education. In this world, it would be easy for university administrators to differentiate between intelligent, but peculiar, discussion and unnecessary hate speech. Problem is, we do not live in an ideal world. We live in a world in which professors like Ward Churchill speak...

An appearance by Malik Shabazz at Carnegie Mellon University last week has infuriated Jewish students, who say he not only devoted a university lecture to attacking them, but broke university rules and asked that Jewish students identify themselves as Jews before a hostile audience. A columnist for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, who managed to stay at the appearance when other journalists were forced to leave, wrote: "Shabazz travels with a retinue of young men and women in jackboots, arm patches and berets. One wandered about with a nightstick. Another snapped photos of white people in the audience.... Try to imagine Farrakhan...

Is it possible to measure the benefits, political and social impacts of winning the Cold War? Reagan was never given his due credit by his liberal peers for winning this psychological war. They were against his defiant stances. They even suggested disarming. However, Americans and other citizens worldwide now benefit because of his persistence. Actually, it’s impossible to estimate the economic, political and social damage the world could have witnessed if he listened to the pessimists. President Bush’s challenge is similar. The overthrowing and capture of Saddam Hussein provides yet untold benefits that will also prove to be immeasurable. John...

'The Passion': Where's the black Jesus? Posted: February 25, 2004 12:00 p.m. Eastern By Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson © 2004 WorldNetDaily.com This past week I was reminded and enlightened. I was fortunate enough to see an advance screening of Mel Gibson's much-discussed film, "The Passion of the Christ," which details the final 12 hours of Jesus' life. Superbly constructed, the movie reminded me through brilliant illustration of the agony and pain that Christ went through for us, so that we could be saved from sin. Though I am a minister of some 14 years and have read the gospels many...

NEW YORK -- The Million Youth March, a flashpoint for controversy just five years ago, stepped off quietly Saturday with about 300 people joining in the six-block trek in Brooklyn. Malik Zulu Shabazz, head of the New Black Panther Party, said the purpose of the march was positive. "Our message to the young people is to stop the killing," said Shabazz, whose group sponsored the event. "Stop going to prison, complete school, go to work and try to rap better lyrics." The march began with the release of white doves, a symbol of peace, before the crowd began its walk....

(CNSNews.com) - This weekend's Million Youth March in New York City, billed as a means to empower African-American youth and encourage unity, is also drawing unwanted attention to organizers of the march for their alleged anti-Semitism. Saturday's rally will take place over a six-block area in Brooklyn's Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, which organizers call, "the heart of the black community." They expect between 20,000 and 100,000 people to attend. The city granted a permit for the Million Youth March in August after organizers threatened to go to court if the permit was not issued. The group's leaders also called for shutting down...
