What does that have to do with the Nation of Islam under the teachings of the Hon. Elijah Muhammad...stop being silly and start to think!!!

Unless you're talking about black muslims in america, your statement is irrelevant

[zyxek]

Lewis Farrakhan is a vile anti-semite. I don't know about the validity of calling him a terrorist, but it seems odd for Dr. West to be defending him.

"Cornel West, the Princeton professor of African-American studies...has never been much more than a six-figure entertainer, ready to bite the hand that pays him even while reaching for his check. He has never seen a microphone or television camera that he did not like.

Publicity, not scholarship, is his true tradition. West often gives his listeners no more than sound and fury, signifying nothing. And he is very good at appearing overcome by his passionate convictions." --Stanley Crouch
