Nation of Islam officials said Tuesday that Jewish leaders who resigned rather than serve with one of their members on a state hate crimes commission should come back to the group or "shut up."
The commission member, Sister Claudette Marie Muhammad, also said it is ridiculous that she has been condemned for remarks made by her leader Louis Farrakhan, whose speeches have attacked Jews, gays and whites over the years.
"For those who try to condemn me because of the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan's remarks ... which were perceived by some as anti-Semitic, it's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous," Muhammad said during an appearance on WVON-AM.
They were Muhammad's first public comments since four members of the Governor's Commission on Discrimination and Hate Crimes resigned last week rather than serve with her.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich appointed Muhammad to the commission in August, but she was under the radar until she invited other commissioners to attend a Farrakhan speech last month.
Criticism of Muhammad mounted after the speech, which included references to "Hollywood Jews" promoting homosexuality and "other filth."
For the second straight day, the Democratic governor refused to answer reporters' questions about the commission. He discussed other topics during an appearance in Effingham but shut the door of his SUV and drove off when asked about Muhammad's statement that Farrakhan's remarks were merely "perceived" as anti-Semitic.

Blast-O from the past-O:

RUSH: Yes.
RITA X: And on the mother plane it has what is called 1,500 bombing planes, and very soon in the 1990s, afford the closure on the UFO phenomena which has been withheld from the public will be exposed.
RUSH: I see.
RITA X: The Pentagon, NASA space program, the president of the United States, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both Congress and the senator of the USA as well as the Navy and Air Force intelligence, FBI and CIA will be forced --
RUSH: You forgot Interpol. You forgot Interpol.
RITA X: Well, will be forced to Face the Nation in the mounting crisis in the air and on the land and the sea and give up the secrets. What are the secrets?

RITA X: Well let me rephrase this.
RUSH: General! It's General Colin Powell. It's General Colin Powell.
RITA X: Because he has planted genocide on the black community as Minister Farrakhan has revealed to the masses of the people that President Bush has sat down with Colonel Colin Powell to plan genocide against the black community. But this is why the event, the mother plane is there, and the mother plane will destroy England, and that's why you notice that when the first sightings of the writings in the hedges from Stone Hinges and the writing in the grass was 50 miles from what is called Stone Hedges in England.
RUSH: Stone hedges, yes.
RITA X: The mother plane, the 1,500 bomber plane, will drop three baby planes, three bombs on England and destroy England, and also she will destroy your -- your air -- the air -- the American air, uh, bases.
