From Jonah Goldberg in 2000:
Putting all that aside, Farrakahn believes Elijah Muhammad, the (by all accounts deceased) former leader of the Nation of Islam, is living on a spaceship circling the planet. Also, a few years after Elijah "died," the spaceship picked up Farrakhan and the two men had a nice chat with each other. Afterward, Farrakhan says the spaceship let him off near Washington, D.C.
The only major television journalist I've ever seen query Farrakhan about this stuff was Ted Koppel, host of ABCs "Nightline," in 1996. Koppel asked him about the spaceship stuff, saying, "It sounds like gibberish, but maybe you can explain it."
Farrakhan didn't back off. The spiritual leader explained that the huge spaceship is "over the heads of us in North America, and soon you shall see these (spaceships) over the major cities of America." This fact is being kept "above top-secret by the United States government."
Farrakhan didn't stop there. Offended at the "gibberish" remark, he fell back on some hard science: "And if it were gibberish, they made an awful lot of money, Mr. Koppel, on that movie called 'Independence Day' --- it flooded the theaters." Koppel conceded this point, but also alerted Farrakhan to the fact that "Independence Day" wasn't a true story.
"...The only major television journalist I've ever seen query Farrakhan about this stuff was Ted Koppel, host of ABCs "Nightline," in 1996. .."
That explains it! I never watch Koppel.
Yeah, he's circling in that mothership allright...with all those underage girls he liked to have sex with and impregnate. Unlike the Muslim terrorists, who blow themselves up for 72 virgins, Muhammad tried to have his 72 virgins on earth without sacrificing anything. That was one of the reasons Malcolm X became disillusioned with Muhammad. Turns out Elijah was a nothing but a big hypocrite. You know the old saying, "Don't do as I do, do as I say." Elitist Muhammad thought the rules were for everybody else but himself. To silence Malcolm, Muhammad had him murdered, and Farrakahn was more than likely involved in it. That's why Malcolm's daughter was charged several years ago, in trying to have Farrakahn offed.
