WHY on EARTH would a Baptist Church let a rabid Muslim extremist spout his hate speech to a bunch of black Christians...as if Farrakhan has ANY of THEIR inerests at heart? I mean, if the black Christian community would just IGNORE this man, who wants an independent Muslim state here in the US, rather than giving him a platform upon which to insanely rant, he wouldn't go away...but close enough.

When I read that Farrakhan would be preaching at churches rather than mosques, I said, "huh?" But I bet having Cindy's papa twisting arms had a lot to do with it.

Farrakhan goes into his Jesus/Bible riff quite often. This is just one example:

Black lawmakers must be free

The Minister also expressed support for embattled Georgia Democrat Cynthia McKinney, who faces a stiff challenge in an upcoming August primary.

"I want to say to all of you that you might think that just because you’re an individual that you don’t have weight," he said. "But God has never sent a team to do His work. He sends one man and anoints that man and backs that man with His power.

"And that’s why we love Jesus," Min. Farrakhan continued. "He was one man but he had disciples. Moses was one man but he had Aaron and he had disciples. If you feel that you are right and you are with God and God is with you, never, never compromise what is right for any position that makes you comfortable. Your real comfort has never been in comfort; your real comfort lies in the fact that you know that you are in the bosom of a mighty God and shadowed under his wings. With that kind of faith, we went forward" on the mission, he reported.

Yep. He brings up God and Christ constantly....in order to hide the fact that he's a Muslim extremist. What I don't understand is why Christian churches let this guy in the door to begin with. It's not exactly common practice for Muslims to preach in Christian churches, any more than it's common practice for Christians to preach in mosques.
