Farrakhan defends Libya's Gadhafi as 'brother'

Warning that death and destruction was on America's doorstep because of its arrogance and oppression of "God's chosen people," Minister Louis Farrakhan, the controversial Nation of Islam leader defended "Brother Leader Moammar Gadhafi" and called the U.S. action in Libya hypocrisy.

The more than two-hour press conference was held at Mosque Maryam, the international headquarters of the Nation of Islam, purchased in 1972 with a $3 million loan from Gadhafi.

"It is a terrible thing for me to hear my brother called all these ugly and filthy names when I can't recognize him as that," Farrakhan said to the crowd of members who also attended the conference. "Even though the current tide is moving against him ... how can I refuse to raise my voice in his defense? Why would I back down from those who have given so much?"

But it was scenes from earthquake- and tsunami-ravaged Japan, Farrakhan said, that inspired him to speak up and warn the American people about the coming earthquake that will strike as punishment for America's arrogance.

"A major earthquake is on the way to you and me and us," he said. "Death and destruction is at the door of all of us and we are worst prepared than the Japanese."

Farrakhan cautioned Obama that he was being used as a pawn to oppress his own people. He insisted several times that Jews controlled the media and had pressured Obama to take so-called humanitarian action in Libya, but not in other places such as Gaza. ....

He commended former White House correspondent Helen Thomas for her honesty and candor in recent controversial remarks about Israel's unjust occupation of Palestine. And he commended Gadhafi for plans to nationalize Libya's oil program to benefit his own people.

I’m hoping they have a family reunion, say right in a location about to be hot by a cruise missile.

So Gadafi is Farrakhan’s Muslim brother. It doesn’t matter what kind of tyrant he is, because he’s Muslim, that overrides everything else.

Maybe Farrakhan can talk to Obama about all of this, brother to brother.

"Death and destruction is at the door of all of us...

FULOU. Life, liberty and the pursuit and destruction of totalitarians. The remaining free people will live and enjoy life without you collectivist/totalitarian cretins.

Says more about Louey than it does about Moammar..

A black that voted for Zero is a moron..
A black that "votes" for Moammar is a cretin..
The only stage worse than that is a black that "votes" for Louey..

All that is missing is an appearance by the wrong Rev. Wright.

Farrakhan is bought and paid for be Qaddafi. They should be exiled together, so that they can enjoy each other’s company.

I once saw a video where this guy said he was Jesus Christ. I don't think he realizes what he says. He is trying to build a power base for himself. He seems to have thought that Obama should have helped spread Islam in Northern Africa.

Farrakhan calls the Arabs "God's chosen people". I've always been confused about the Arabs' place in Muslim ideology. Seems there are kind of special but not CHOSEN in the sense the old testament Hebrews are. I wonder.

Warning that destruction could be on America's doorstep because it oppresses “God's chosen people,” Minister Louis Farrakhan, the controversial Nation of Islam leader, defended Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi today, calling the U.S. action in Libya hypocrisy.

You know why they call each other “brother”?
Because his Dad, is his Dad and his Dad, is his Dad and so on.

Farrakhan blamed demons for altering President Barack Obama's moral conscience and driving the assault on Gadhafi, who he calls a brother.

Obama has a conscience? It must be hidden away with his birth certificate and other records of his past.
