A BACKGROUND BRIEFING ON LOUIS FARRAKHAN AND THE NATION OF ISLAM
What Farrakhan and His Lieutenants say about:
Louis Farrakhan
And
The Nation of Islam (NOI)
The Nation Of Islam was founded by W D Fahd, who claimed to be a prophet and who held strong anti-white views.
Elijah Muhammad was of the first leaders of the group. He assisted in the development of NOI's bizarre ideology that black people originated from the Moon whilst whites were the result of a botched experiment by a mad scientist (Searchlight December 1997).
Louis Farrakhan was previously known as Louis Eugene Walcott.
Joined the Nation of Islam (NOI) in 1955 and by the end of 1960 was a minister at the Nation's Boston mosque.
Farrakhan was a protege of Malcolm X describing him as "the father he never had".
However following Malcolm's departure from NOI Farrakhan said"…Such a man as Malcolm is worthy of death." According To HQ magazine on the February 21 1965 three NOI gunmen murdered Malcolm X. Furthermore, Farrakhan was allegedly accused by the widow of Malcolm X that he was involved in her husband's murder.
Farrakhan's racist comments and ideologies date back to 1972 where he made his anti-Semitic and black separatist views known in a Black Muslim publication, "Muhammed Speaks".
He claimed that "Since the Jews are in control of the mass media, newspapers, television, radio, we knew then that we could begin to look for a concerted attack on Nation of Islam though the mass media." (Muhammed Speaks 12 May 1972)
Whites, Jews, Catholics and gays are subject to attack as well as blacks that work within the ‘white system’. At a rally in 1985 Farrakhan decried "…we will tar and feather them" and "We will hang them from the highest limb, we will chop off their heads and roll them down the streets."
NOI’s Association with Far-Right Groups
NOI's extremism of views has led to a series of bizarre allegiances with other far right contemporise that included the Klu Klux Klan and neo-Nazi type organisations.
In early 1961 NOI and the KKK had a meeting in Atlanta, Georgia in the US. Both Elijah Muhammad and Malcolm X a NOI leader met KKK dignitaries. The two groups came to the joint opinion that parts of South Carolina and Georgia in the United States should become a black homeland with KKK holding state power. (Searchlight December 1997).
Louis Farrakhan has shared a platform at an NOI meeting with members of the American Nazi Party in full dress regalia seated as honoured guests. The NOI publicly accepted donations from a former KKK leader who went on to lead the White Aryan Resistance.
The NOI also holds affiliation with the far-right National Front in Britain. In 1988 the NOI used the Front to import and distribute NOI's "The Final Call" in Britain.
The NOI are also stockists of racist literature, including the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion, the conspiracy laden The Jews And Their Lies, as well as The Secret relationship between the Blacks and the Jews whose premise is that Jews were solely responsible for the killing of 100,000,000 blacks during the slave trade. The group also publishes the notorious anti-Semitic forgery the Protocols of The Elders Of Zion.
The Nation Of Islam operates numerous security contracts (through its security arm the Fruits of Islam) worth millions of dollars, publishes "The Final Call" as well provides numerous other extremist literature. The groups also sells hair and beauty products and runs chains of health clinics.
What Farrakhan and His Lieutenants Say about:
Narrow-minded, common Jews…The Jews cannot defeat me so I will grind them and crush them into little bits.
- Louis Farrakhan, Flushing New York, May 21, 1998
I called them [Jews] bloodsuckers. I'm not going to change that. Our lessons talk about the bloodsuckers of the poor in the supreme wisdom of the Nation of Islam. It's that old no-good Jew, that old imposter Jew, that old hook-nose, bagel-eating, lox-eating, Johnny-come-lately perpetrating a fraud, just crawled out of the caves and hills of Europe, so called damn Jew….and I feel everything I'm saying here is kosher."
-Khalid Abdul Muhammad, Baltimore, MD, February 19, 1994
"Your [whites] history is written in the blood of the human family. It comes out of you like a web comes out of a spider. Murder and lying comes easy for white people….Your history is shedding the blood of all human beings and you came lying to us, deceiving us, then killing us."
-Louis Farrakhan, Saviour's Day, February 27, 1994
"There is a little bit of Hitler in all white people."
-Khalid Abdul Muhammad, NBC's "Donahue," May 12, 1994
"Christians preach love but practice hate and tyranny, use God to cover their corrupt and dirty practices."
-Louis Farrakhan, Northeastern University, April 20, 1985

-Khalid Muhammad, New Haven, CT November 16, 1994
