Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan yesterday called for Black people in America to separate themselves from the Satanic culture and direction of the country in order to prepare themselves to be the cornerstone of a new world order of righteousness.
He made the call during his "Birth of a Nation" Saviours' Day address that was steeped in scriptural references to nearly 20,000 people at the United Center.
In his first major speech since October’s Millions More Movement march in Washington, D.C., he called for pastors to preach more boldly against wickedness and to relate prophecies to the headlines of today.
Speaking of current wars, natural disasters and pestilence, he said, "It is nothing new. The prophets saw it and the prophets wrote of it. Our teaching today will be empty and void if we don't show how prophecies relate to the daily news.
"America has become so degenerate and the church so weak in following Jesus Christ that you are afraid to teach (what) God is against," he continued. "We are in the most dangerous position," he said to the clergy, "because as God awakens the people, they will kill leaders and preachers in their pulpits for lying to them."
Farrakhan expressed deep love for his people but warned that his message would be delivered with the passion of a "father over the house" to correct the waywardness of a people who are descending with a nation into destruction.
Farrakhan said the "good news" is that the core scriptures of the Bible speak of the separation of a people from a wicked people and that the prophecy of a people raised from 400 years of bondage by a man like Moses fits Blacks in America better than any other people.
But Blacks in America don't think they can live separately from whites because of how they were taught, he said.
The Christianity preached today is not the teaching of Jesus Christ, but is the "organized religion" fashioned in ancient Rome that co-opted the teaching of Jesus and mixed it with paganism and was designed to subdue people of color over the earth, Farrakhan said.
Farrakhan also warned the American people that neoconservatives and Zionists have manipulated President George W. Bush into actions that are bringing about the fall of America. Black and poor children are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan on the basis of a lie, he said, not for America but for the state of Israel.
Challenging those who refer to him as anti-Semitic, Farrakhan read from a verse from the Bible that refers to false Jews. "Until the true Jew points the finger at the false Jew, the false Jew will make the true Jew look bad," he said. "It ain't about white or Black. It's about God and Satan. It's about right and wrong.
"You can't be a Jew and not love the law of Moses and the prophets. I'm warning America. You'd better get rid of those neocons. They're making America weak."
Saviors' Day is the Nation of Islam's annual celebration of the Feb. 26, 1877 birthday of Master Fard Muhammad, founder of the Nation of Islam and teacher of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, who built the organization to international prominence over a 40-year period.
Described as the "crowning event of Black History Month," the three-day event brings together African Americans from across the country for workshops and other activities.
Giving a Hurricane Katrina update to the crowd at the United Center, Katrina evacuee Mpangaliti Sanyinka said New Orleans was a social disaster before the storm and that God is angry at the nation's response to those in need.
He called for:
• Cities to pass resolutions in support of evacuees' right of return to New Orleans
• Their right to participate in rebuilding the city
• Their right to participate in upcoming elections
• Formation of citizen disaster and survival committees in every city
"We want you to join in a national movement to reclaim (New Orleans). There's a Katrina knocking on your door in your city. You too have a 9th Ward," he said, referring to the ward that received the most damage and the home of many evacuees.
Nation of Islam Minister of Health Alim Muhammad told the audience that Blacks must establish a "new paradigm" for health that's not based on drugs and medicine.
He said Blacks suffer from overwhelming toxicity from heavy metal poisoning and chemicals, in addition to obesity, hypertension, cancer and other illnesses.
Until and unless we can detoxify our bodies and minds, we can never be fit to carry out the will of God, he said.

Illinois Governor Should Remove Farrakhan Adviser from Hate Crime Panel
SPEEWWWWWW!!!
Maybe Louie is getting them ready for a "Heaven's Gate" episode? Sort of like, Catch a moon rock, if you can.
Farrakhan is a traitor who fancies himself the "messiah" without calling himself the savior--look at the name of his annual meeting. He is a traitor to American values and is spreading ideas that are completely contrary to most Americans. Where is the MSM media on this one? If a conservative Christian had said some of the things this man has been saying this last week--we would hear no end of it.
Wasn't Birth of a Nation selected by Senator Byrd as the feel good movie for this (and every) summer?
He's been saying this stuff and much worse for decades. It's not really news.
Deport Farrakhan to Iran, he'll fit right in with the looney tune nutjob leading that place! What a maroon!
/hurl!
A true voice of the evil one. "And he was more subtil than all the other animals in the garden." (Gen. 1) Boy, does that describe this guy. He has created his own version of religion, Mother Wheel and all. Just check his website. Why any Christian church would ever have this guy speak to their congregation is beyond sensibility. He mixes bits of truth with a virulent spirit. No love here, just spewing venom. The spirit of anti-christ.
Well, if anyone can tell the world how to follow Jesus Christ, it's the head of the nation of Islam. </sarcasm>
No one is keeping them from returning to rebuild the city it they wish. But what he really means is they want someone else to pay for it, and do the work too, or to pay them above market wages before they'll work. He wants the election laws changed just for his favored group. The last bullet is actually a good idea, as long as he means what it says, and they aren't really just more political special interest groups, or gangs of thugs.
