Nation of Islam leader and prominent antisemite Louis Farrakhan chanted “Death to America” and claimed that “America has never been a democracy” on Sunday during a solidarity trip to Iran, ahead of the re-implementation of US sanctions on the country this week.
According to Iran’s semi-official state news agency Mehr, Farrakhan said at a meeting with the Secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaei that America is conspiring against Iran.
“I understand how the enemies have plotted against the Iranian people and I would like to stay alongside you to stop their plots,” he said.
He also blasted American support for Saudi Arabia, Iran’s arch-rival in the region, and added, “Satan seeks to divide Muslims and wants them to kill each other, while God tells us in the Quran to be united.”
Farrakhan has referred to Jews as the “synagogue of Satan.”
In his remarks, he condemned the new American sanctions on Iran that will take effect on Monday. “Today, I warn the American government that sanctioning Iran is a big mistake,” he said.
In addition, he stated that African-Americans are part of Iran’s Islamic revolution.
According to the Farsi language Islamic Republic of Iran News Network (IRINN), he also spoke to students at the University of Tehran law school and fulminated against Israel, praised women’s rights in Iran and the Islamic laws demanding they cover themselves. He claimed, “America has never been a democracy and has always leaned towards the wealthy and powerful class.”
At the end of his talk, Farrakhan chanted the common Iranian slogan “Death to America,” and was joined by members of the audience.
Farrakhan, perhaps the most notorious black supremacist in America, has a long history of antisemitic statements. Most recently, he referred to Jews as “termites.”
Several prominent American activists and politicians have been linked to Farrakhan in recent years. Tamika Mallory, a leader of the Women’s March, praised him as “GOAT” or “Greatest of All Time.” Linda Sarsour, another leader of the March, attended an event with Farrakhan and has repeatedly refused to condemn him.
Illinois Democratic Representative Danny K. Davis said of Farrakhan, “I don’t regard Louis Farrakhan as an aberration or anything, I regard him as an outstanding human being who commands a following of individuals who are learned and articulate and he plays a big role in the lives of thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of people.”
Recently, a photograph surfaced of former President Barack Obama meeting with Farrakhan in 2005 while he was a senator.
..................
Most of his pals on the left from Congressmen to former Presidents recognize he was just joking. Like termites.
Off with his head...... he is surplus protolplasm
He’s right about one thing. America is not a democracy! We are a republic.
Why did this appear in print....
Birds of a feather flock together.
They all hate America.
Amazing. This man is the quintessential black power hater and is completely ignored by the press. That’s because they are too busy stirring up the completely false narrative that all whites are “nationalists,” racists, and haters extraordinaire and must be killed.
Gee I wonder which political party represents this hater’s values?
Odungo’s buddy...
He’s a terrorist.
Lewie, time to feed the piggies.
In name yes, due to the 17th Amendment, functionally no.
But you did know that he sat in Reverend Wright’s church for years, didn’t you, Alan? Maybe you’re not as smart as you think you are.
This disgusting traitor should not be allowed back in the USA. He is a subversive.
My thoughts exactly...a Democratically elected Constitutional Republic.
farrakhan, bammy, and the pope have all supported iran in its “death to America” wishes.
May all three be forced to live in their beloved iran for the rest of their lives, so they can fully enjoy the benefits bestowed on them by the regime they love so much.
They're all democrats.
Sharpton tries to move away, but they all know Louie is their Brotha.
If true he should be arrested, charged, peep-walked, and convicted.
Yeah, I read this in the New York Times and heard it on the Alphabet News yesterday.
Oh, wait...no I didn’t...
