I am very gradified that Minister Louis Farrakhan finally saw the light.
He has, this day said what I have contended all my life. I’m 74, a Jew and must its about time! We have a new awaking and enlightment.
So, people, of good faith and will, all over the world can work together for a better world, free of hate and war.

Quote: from Jeff Long | Chicago Tribune reporter
Quote “Farrakhan did not mention Obama by name” Un-Quote.
I thought yall knew… when you’re about TRUTH… nobody messes with you.
Hell, when you’re about TRUTH… you’ll even find it hard to find a date.
When you’re about TRUTH… the only mention of you will be by people… who are threatened by that… and have something to hide.
No, I don’t support Farrakhan. But I do believe in the TRUTH. It’s the only way to live a life free of Guilt.
You want some truth… here’s one for you THE UNIVERSE IS IN A CONSTANT STATE OF FLUX… which means, the universe is constantly changing.
And so should you… you should be constantly changing and updating your position on everything… in pursuit of TRUTH.
It’s not easy, it requires constant effort. As such, the pursuit of truth is not for the WEAK or Faint at Heart. And they will ALWAYS step aside and away from you.
CAUTION: The pursuit of Truth threatens whole societies, and a way of life for a lot of people… proceed with CAUTION.
For, some have chosen… THE EASY WAY OUT.
So they think.

Now that a black man is on the verge of becoming President, this a-hole wants to bring everyone together. I wonder what he’d be saying if a Hispanic or Jew was elected. Probably along the lines of “Annie, get your gun.”

Dear Hatewatch subscribers
My father is a jew
My only child, Idriss Stelley, converted to Islam at 17, and NOI gave him more focus and stength than I ever could as a mother.
(5 years later, he was murdered by SFPD, 48 bullets, 9 “peace officers”.m while sitting alone in an emptied Metreon movie theater, experiencing a mental health crisis).
I noticed in the past that Richmond (CA) NOI was listed on this site as a “hate group”, which pains me greatly.
Attending Masheid Sunday teachings on SF and Richmond, although not a Muslim, but always reaching through the teaching more in-depth understanding of “managed mayhem”, I never heard a single word of hate towards other faith or people from the Ministers in the past 7 years.
Just a plain Jane opinion for whatever it is worth on this site

Speaking of Min. Louis Farrahkan, the only thing about him that inspired me is his adopted granddaughter whose name is Yosnasda Muhammad who is also part Native(Lakota) and Black. Her “Native Unity” essays can be read here;

Of course he did. Malcom is dead, and now W. Deen Mohammed is dead. He basically waited out all of his rivals so now he can look conciliatory. Personally, I’m not buying it.

And thus, the only real differences between Louis Farrahkan and most prominent White Supremacist leaders is that Min. Louis has had a change of heart and is now embracing unity for the sake of peace. He has found the light.
Whereas, the ominous insipid White Supremacist-Extremists are still crying for Civil War 2 Ethnocide(self-inflicted Genocide), Violence, Segregation, and McCarthyism. And by the looks of it, obviously many of these White Supremacists dwell so much on fear and hatred. Their movement has become so ugly, vapid and meaningless without purpose. I feel sorry for them.
However, we know that these miserable people are but a lesser few.

I am a Jew and am willing, to listen, to what Mr. Farrahkan has to say. I would like to see harmony among all the races.
After all, we are all the same. Its only a matter of natural pigmant for body’s protection from the sun. We certainly all bleed the same the same color.

Wait, Farrakhan is preaching peace to all religions?!?!?!? SOME ONE BRING ME A COPY OF THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS! I AM CERTAIN ARMAGEDDON IS HERE AND THIS IS A SIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE!

Well, be sure to take your medications “Gunslinger”. Religious zealots tend to be a little wacky and paranoid, especially the far-right nutbars. They use the Bible to justify their distortions of non-Whites. And that’s not true Christianity to be framk. And I am a Christian myself and I don’t use my religion to instill fear, paranoia, and racism etc. That’s completely contrary to being a Christian if your quoting from the Holy Bible.

Relax xenophobesnightmare, I am just being overly silly in making the point that this is a different message Farrakhan has been preaching from his days of antisemitism.
I would be reacting much the same way if David Duke or any other racist pinhead made such a turn around.
