| Farrakhan wants probe into Koran desecration reports |
| 2005-05-25 |
| EFL: Another nutbag county heard from... CHICAGO (AFP) - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan called for a congressional investigation into reports of desecrations of the Koran at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility in Cuba. "As Muslims, we say enough is enough," the influential African American leader said from the pulpit of his south Chicago mosque. No math today, Louie? Farrakhan said a delegation of Muslim, Christian and Jewish leaders should participate in the investigation.Farrakhan also demanded that the US military either charge and try the detainees at Guantanamo Bay or release them to their families. Yeah, we'll get right on that, Louie. Just for you. Farrakhan said Muslims in the United States are suffering from persecution and an "atmosphere of hatred" that is being preached from the pulpits of Christian churches and is being fueled by the media. Getting on the gravy train, Louie? He lambasted the deportation, arrest, and freezing of assets of Muslims who donated money to support the Palestinian intifada or groups like Hamas and said he was fearful that Muslims in the United States could end up in detention camps similar to those that Japanese Americans were sent to during World War II. "It is the policies of the American government that have incensed the Muslim world," he said. "It's in the government's interest to change policies that are unjust." Hey, what did you think about that news about Malcolm? Or is that why you helped blow him away? |

| #1 Gee, he's really slowing down. At least 3-4 days late with his "Mee Too!"... Guess his knee doesn't jerk anymore. Mebbe a Revival with IrRevs Sharpton and Jackson would get him back on stride. |
