CNSNews.com) - Minister Louis Farrakhan has warned President Bush that declaring war on terrorism could "trigger the war that would end all wars, the war of Armageddon."
Farrakhan is the leader of the black Muslim separatist movement Nation of Islam and the architect of the 1995 Million Man March in Washington, D.C.
In a speech Sunday at a Chicago mosque, Farrakhan implied that U.S. foreign policy is to blame for last weeks terrorist attacks on Washington and New York. He called on American officials to summon "the courage to look at the foreign policy" and asked if the policies have "produced this danger and hatred toward America."
He described the events of last week as a "dark hour in American and world history." He defended the Palestinians celebrating in the streets after the terrorist attacks because they have "sustained injustice since 1948," which refers to the year Israel became a state.
"They dance in the streets not because they have no feeling for American life, they dance because they wanted America to feel what they feel."
According to Farrakhan, the terrorists that struck America are the product of "despair and hopelessness."
"This is what causes children to strap themselves with bombs. They care nothing for their lives. They want others to feel the pain of what they live with everyday."
He then accused the American government and media of unfairness towards Muslims. He noted that convicted Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy McVeigh professed to be a Christian, yet the U.S. did not fear all Christians.
"Even though his crime was the most horrific committed up until that time, no one said Christian Timothy McViegh, they just said Timothy McVeigh," he noted. He called McVeigh's actions "un-Christian like" and he declared the attacks last week on the US to be "un-Muslim like."
He said Muslims throughout the world have no quarrel with the citizens of America, only it's foreign policy. He believes these are policies "that the American people know nothing about."
"A better foreign policy of America would defeat terrorism forever in the world," he declared.
I wonder how long he will be with us?
Bush has declared war, but Congress has not. For a war to be technically official, Congress has to do it. And I wonder if that is why they won't do it. Why wasn't Jane Fonda charged with treason, etc during the Vietnam "War?"
That will be the day the "spaceships" he talks about in orbit around Earth with their "black scientists" aboard will descend and free all the brothers.
He is mentally ill - no other explanation is possible.
That was all part of the last great Islamic jihad. During the Gulf War the Iraqi soldiers stole TVs and gold. They raped the women and girls. They committed murder and many other atrocities. I fail to see the moral and spiritual lessons they tried to convey.
The terrorists that bombed the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon killed many innocent men, women and children. Some of these so-called holy men were out drinking and partying at a nude bar before their acts of violence. They murdered thousands of innocent people for their religion.
America has become a decadent society. However, the animals that did these attacks certainly don't represent good. They represent evil, greed, anger, lust, envy, violence, and hatred.
Again, I fail to see the moral or spiritual value of stealing TVs and gold. I fail to see good in raping women and childern, murder, or terror. These people are evil.
God Bless America
"While we were sitting with the Prophet in the mosque, a man came riding on a camel. He made his camel kneel down in the mosque, tied its foreleg and then said: "Who amongst you is Muhammad?" At that time the Prophet was sitting amongst us (his companions) leaning on his arm. We replied, "This white man reclining on his arm." The man then addressed him, "O Son of 'Abdul Muttalib." " Shahi Bukhari's hadith Volume 1 number 63
"My father said, "I heard Ibn 'Umar reciting the poetic verses of Abu Talib: And a white (person) (i.e., the Prophet) who is requested to pray for rain and who takes care of the orphans and is the guardian of widows." Shahi Al-Bukhari's hadith 2.122, narrated by Abdullah bin Dinar
"The Prophet never raised his hands for any invocation except for that of Istisqa' and he used to raise them so much that the whiteness of his armpits became visible." Shahi Al-Bukhari's hadith 2.141 narrated by Anas bin Malik
And by the way, Louie, Muhammad had several black slaves himself, including Abu Huraira, Bilal, and Ghullaam. Muhammad referred to Black people as raisin heads.
Cordially,
Please send this to everyone you know. Thanks, Bob.

THIS IS VERY UGLY. IT WILL MAKE YOU SICK TO YOUR STOMACH.
Seems to me that Chicago may be a "sacred place" if Calypso Louie decides to make it his "hide out".
Hope all is well with you and your family and hope to see you at a Freeper event in the near future.
God Bless you and your family, and our Country!
You are wrong for several reasons:
1. Since 9/11, many blacks are now flying US flags from their homes and cars.
2. I'm black and my younger brother, who recently retired from the National Guard, is angry and ready to go take bin Laden out. Lots of other blacks are too.
3. Even Bush looks better in the eyes of blacks. Star Jones was saying on TV this morning that she was glad Bush was in charge right now, that she had a good feeling about him even though she has political differences with him. She is not the only black person who feels that way.
4. Most blacks have never really been anti-America- in fact, much of what makes people like JJ and Sharpton tick is their desire to be Americans.
5. Black people have fought willingly in every one of America's wars, often when they did not have to. A big part of the civil rights movement centered around the right for blacks to serve in the military.
6. The views of black "leadership" quite often differ from those of most other blacks. At the very least, nobody I know is waiting for Farrakhan, JJ, Sharpton, or anyone else to tell them how to feel about 9/11.
I hope you are safe and well! You going on the cruise?
