| Farrakhan warns of Armageddon |
| 2001-09-17 |
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." 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." |
