Israel to deny entry to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan

Israel is also afraid that Farrakhan's visit could be provocative and result in disturbances, particularly if he asks to tour the mosques on the Temple Mount.

Question, Isn't the Nation of Isalm what used to be called black muslims? If so Farrakan might have some problems with the local mullas.

This from an October, 2000 ADL report.  If you follow the link, you'll find more of Farrakhan's charm. 

I think he's also been repeatedly refused entry to the UK.

Minister Louis Farrakhan: In His Own Words

On Israel

"They [Israel] wouldn't allow me to go to Jerusalem. If I had gone they might have stoned me. I didn't want to repeat history. I know they stoned Jesus. I know they've killed the prophets of God there."

Saviours' Day Speech, Chicago, 2/22/98

"I believe that for the small numbers of Jewish people in the United States, they exercise a tremendous amount of influence on the affairs of government. ... Mr. President, Mr. Clinton, instead of exercising the strength of a man whose country contributes at least $4 billion every year to the state of Israel, America has influence in Israel but is not using that influence in a constructive way, but, rather, pays lip service to the Palestinians while she bows to the dictates of Netanyahu and the strong political Jewish lobby."

They should let him in. And then lock him with Arafat in a chamber. That will cure him of being a muslim in no time!

[facedown]

LOL!

[Mark17]

One's a good ol Southern pain in the ass, while one's a genuine America Hater.

LOL, but which one is which?

[knighthawk]

Just imagine being in the same room as that ranting loony!

[facedown]

I'd rather not - I'm preparing supper!

Good for Israel. Nothing like using some common sense.

Brothers and sisters we come in unity to sing together the chorus of the GREAT and MIGHTY...LAUGH...BAWHAHAHHAHAH HAHA!!! All together now!

[amstaff1]

Did you know Farrakhan used to be know as "Calypso Louie" back in the day when he was a performer playing his violin?

[infowarrior]

I still call him that, as it kinda sorta deflates his "religious" pretensions...
