Defending Farrakhan

On The Witness Stand for Farrakhan

Yes, this is me with The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and Mother Khadijah Farrakhan! Allow me to bear witness to this man!

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has taught me how to value myself as a woman, according to God’s standard and against this world’s degraded view of the Black woman!

He has taught me and continues to deepen my understanding of my relationship with God, love for my people and all of the oppressed. As a proud member of The Nation Of Islam, under the leadership of The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, I have served in mentorship programs reaching back to inspire young girls as well as budding entrepreneurs!

I have traveled abroad to represent modest fashion, where we – The MGT-GCC were welcomed and celebrated to the upmost, because of Farrakhan! All praise is due to Allah (God – for those who don’t speak Arabic)!

From his leadership I’ve volunteered in transitional facilities for women recovering from drug addiction, domestic violence and sexual assault teaching classes rooted in The Teachings of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Today these women are thriving, back on their feet — because of Farrakhan!

I’ve personally had White women approach me asking how they can become MGT-GCC and members of The Nation Of Islam because of Farrakhan and the way in which we represent him! That dismantles any claim of racism, misogyny and hate the enemy likes to loop him and us into!

He has shown me an incredible example of what a real man is! He has taught me nothing but love, kindness, righteousness and courage! He fears no one but Allah!

He has taught me 7 phenomenal Units that have contributed to my livelihood, that have literally saved (and are still saving) lives beyond my own (i.e. How To Sew — I’m able to make face masks to help countless protect themselves during this pandemic @MonarchEbonySafiyyah; How To Cook — I can stay home and stay safe cooking nutritious meals that aid my immune system and lengthen my life void of medication; How To Keep House — I know how to and LOVE cleaning and maintaining a safe & healthy environment, which also keeps bacteria/viruses at bay + have a beautiful atmosphere)!!!

I didn’t learn that or the Knowledge of Self, Knowledge of God and Knowledge of Satan and my open enemy in this world’s university! I learned that from Farrakhan!

No one else has the right to choose my leader, teacher, guide and friend, who is the man of God!

Farrakhan is literally walking through Scripture, proving that God is with him! It is becoming clear to world who he is and who his enemies are! He has taught only the Truth, and if you have a problem with that, then you have a problem with Almighty God!

Yes, Farrakhan teaches the Black man and woman their value, and you hate it! Yes, Farrakhan speaks truth to power (and encourages others to do so), and you hate it! Yes, Farrakhan is loved and received by world leaders and the youth and Christians and even Jews (righteous Jews), and you hate it! Yes, Farrakhan knows who the imposter Jews are (Rev.2:9), who Satan is, and he is exposing it — and you hate it! Yes, Farrakhan has more influence and enough juice to end your wicked world by God’s permission, and you hate it!

Farrakhan was/is taught + trained by The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad — Who, by the way, was the teacher of Malcolm X and Muhammad Ali! You can’t love those two (the Fruit) but hate the Teacher (the Tree) and Farrakhan (also Fruit from that same Tree)!

Those who oppose Farrakhan and seek to silence his supporters are the true haters and enemy, not only of Black excellence and empowerment — but of God! That’s Who Farrakhan represents! Those of you who would threaten the livelihood of others who love Farrakhan, are a threat to righteousness, civilization and life itself! We find it interesting how swift you are at killing someone’s career but slow and silent to bring our killers to justice! #BreonnaTaylor

We stand with Farrakhan! He is OUR friend, brother, teacher, and has saved me personally on various levels! So to hell with your feelings, your hate, your frail self-esteem and depraved/starving ego that needs to control Black intelligence!

We don’t belong to you!!! We belong to God!!!

Farrakhan is the door to OUR salvation! And yes, he is the door to the destruction of the wicked! You know where you stand with him, and you hate it and you’re scared! He called for The Showdown in 2013 and again as recent as 2018 and no one has spoken up! Then stay silent! Leave us and ours alone!

I love the woman Farrakhan has and is helping me to become, and I LOVE seeing the same in those who follow him! His fearlessness emboldens the same in us, and you hate it! He puts us on the road to Self-Improvement, and you hate it! He has encouraged women in all walks of life, especially the Black woman, to cover themselves beautifully, and you hate it! He has cleaned up men in all walks of life, in particular the Black man, and you hate it!

To those who oppose Farrakhan and his 65 + years of work: Where were you in my life when I needed saving??? Where were you during my times of loss??? Where were you at my lowest points??? Then you should stay gone in EVERY Black person’s life! We want and crave truth, Real Truth, and Guidance that only Farrakhan is giving!

You know who Farrakhan is in all of his Divinity, which is why you are working so hard to keep people away from him! You know if the Truth is revealed / believed in, you lose full and complete control! This is why you are so worked up!

I say to those who love and follow Farrakhan, stand strong! Bear witness! Give your testimony! To those who are trying their best and received backlash, double down! Stand back up! No one has the right over YOUR testimony! You don’t owe anyone an explanation or an apology! They owe us, and we are LONG overdue! Hold your position, and know that you are backed by a Nation of Brothers and Sisters who love you!

Ameen!

#DEFENDINGFARRAKHAN 2018 and calling for a Showdown in 2019

written by AQM Blog Staff

Wicked, Zionist so-called Jews have been attacking the Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan for nearly forty years and 2018 was a continuation of that assault. But as the year closed, Minister Farrakhan boldly called for a “showdown” with his Jewish critics and detractors during a major address at Mosque Maryam in Chicago.

The Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center, and others falsely labeled the beloved leader anti-Semitic but have not proven their claims. Min. Farrakhan is challenging them to bring their proof:

“A showdown! Why not? We’re ready to die for what we believe! So, come on out Mr. (Jonathan) Greenblatt of the ADL and bring Mr. (Abraham) Foxman with you. Come on out Alan Dershowitz. You that say we are haters and anti-Semites,” he said.

“Come on out from your hiding place. Leave your n—–s at home! Come on out! You think that the Nation is only Louis Farrakhan? You think that I’m the only one that can battle this enemy and beat him down? We’ve got stars here! Come on out, since you love to say we are the haters, come on out and prove it,” Minister Farrakhan continued.

Alan Dershowitz, a defender of President Trump and frequent Zionist commentator, declined Minister Farrakhan’s invitation to publicly face Nation of Islam scholars and prove the charges he and other prominent Jewish leaders level at him and the Nation of Islam. Except for Mr. Dershowitz’s public response, the silence has been deafening.

“That’s what lets us know there is no interest in coming to any kind of agreement on the basis of the truth,” said Student Minister Demetric Muhammad of Muhammad Mosque No. 55 and a member of the Nation of Islam Research Group.

“That also indicates that the labeling of the Minister as an anti-Semite is a political trick. It’s a ruse, as already attested to by former education minister from Israel Shulamit Aloni,” Demetric Muhammad said. She revealed that accusations of anti-Semitism are a political trick used to tar those who disagree with the policies of Israel or activity of the Jewish community.

The enemies’ strategy has been a formal refusal to even allow Minister Farrakhan a platform to express his views, observed Demetric Muhammad. They cannot contend with the truth that he speaks so their goal is to eliminate and deny him any platform to speak the truth. That includes blocking him from speaking at universities, with calls to have his Twitter account, Facebook and YouTube pages taken down.

“We have a lot of work to do to beat back the charge of anti-Semitism, and this is why the Minister is calling for not just a show down, but a campaign for the defense of the truth and the defense of himself, because this ‘no-platform’ is essentially a blockade against the message of the Minister and to the degree that it has been effective, there are a lot of pockets in the American public who have never heard of Minister Farrakhan, so it does carry or have a great deal of effectiveness,” stated Demetric Muhammad.

By the same token, he said, the Jews’ “no platform strategy” is not as effective as they would like. “We know this because of the visceral reaction to the Minister’s presence at the funeral of Aretha Franklin,” Demetric Muhammad said.

Articles and comments asking “Why are we still dealing with Louis Farrakhan,” sprang up, he said. Jews were outraged over Minister Farrakhan’s mere presence at the August commemoration of the life and legacy of the great songbird Aretha Franklin, he said.

From Saviours’ Day in February 2018, the Nation of Islam’s commemoration of the birth of Master Fard Muhammad, the Great Madhi of the Muslims and the Messiah of the Christians, to the Holy Day of Atonement commemorating the 23rd anniversary of the Million March, these enemies have viciously defamed and attacked Minister Farrakhan. Yet, as his many supporters in and out of the Nation of Islam have noted, they not dare accept his challenge to prove one word he’s taught from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad false.

“They don’t have the courage to debate the Minister directly,” a longtime activist told The Final Call. “They can have diplomacy with Kim Jong Un, Putin and MBS (Saudi Arabia’s Muhammad Bin Salman) but somehow sitting down with the Minister who’s never harmed a hair on anyone’s head, is inconceivable.”

The activist stated, Minister Farrakhan’s enemies even normalize crimes of President Donald Trump and his cronies but refuse to debate the Minister, adult-to-adult, free person-to-free person? “They avoid him. Instead, they pick off African American leadership one by one, thus making a self-fulfilling prophecy of their worst fear: the Minister as the only African American leader left standing,” the activist continued.

As the attacks against Minister Farrakhan intensified this year, so did an escalation of responses by his supporters and non-members of the Nation of Islam.

Demetric Muhammad saluted Dr. Boyce Watkins, author, economist, educator, and gives credit to activist and Women’s March co-leader Tamika Mallory as well as Dr. Marc Lamont Hill and comedian Corey Holcomb, who said Minister Farrakhan saved his life.

Their words documented in Demetric Muhammad’s book, “Who Do They Say I Am,” are offered as vindication of the Minister in the court of public opinion, he said.

“They come from a whole wide diverse array of prominent people—some Black, some White, some gay, some straight, some Muslim, some Christian, some Jewish, but these are their candid, unrehearsed, unbought reactions to the leadership of Minister Louis Farrakhan and they’re very eye-opening,” Demetric Muhammad stated.

Covered Girl Twitter Chat Defends Farrakhan Against Recent Attacks

written by AQMBlog Staff

By Joshua’s Truth

Amid recent attacks thrown at the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and lies spewed by mainstream media, women of the Nation of Islam took to Twitter once again to defend the name of Farrakhan.

Topics included comments made by Alyssa Milano, Debra Messing and a statement made by the Women’s March, all regarding the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

Alyssa Milano, an actress and activist, is refusing to speak at upcoming Women’s March events unless Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour, both activists and organizers of the Women’s March, denounce Minister Farrakhan for what they consider to be anti-Semitic remarks.

I denounce Farrakhan.

— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) October 27, 2018

nbsp;

In the past, Mallory has had to defend her decision to work with the Minister and to attend events such as Saviours’ Day earlier this year and Justice Or Else! in 2015. Milano was among those who called Mallory out for “turning a blind eye to the hate spoken about a group of people.” Others called for her resignation, according to Atlanta Black Star.

“Will and Grace” star Debra Messing called out the Women’s March for not denouncing Minister Farrakhan. On top of that, she supported Milano’s decision to distance herself from the march.

What do Nation of Islam women have to say about that?

“Tonight we stand to defend the Honorable Minister @LouisFarrakhan against blatant lies that have circulated. Tonight those lies will be dismantled,” was the initial tweet by Ebony Muhammad, moderator of the chat.

Participants were asked to explain why claims of Minister Farrakhan being an anti-Semite, a bigot, a hater of the LGBTQ community and a man who’s against women, are untrue.

The sisters began firing off immediately.

A1: The issue with The Minister is he CAN'T be run off. He will not bow, because the power that backs him is greater than ANY power that attempts to come against him this is why they must lie they find weak ones who need their favor or those who rely on the wicked for sustenance.

— nyese joshua (@nyesej) November 14, 2018

A1: If the Minister was preaching anti-Semitism, his followers would have responded with hatred. He has been labeled an anti-Semite for over 30 years, but no harm has ever come to any Jewish person by a member of the NOI. #CoveredGirl #Farrakhan https://t.co/fBHH1fR27A

— Fudia Muhammad (@GiveBirthToAGod) November 14, 2018

Many women said Minister Farrakhan can’t be classified as a bigot because of all of the friendships he has with people from various backgrounds. Not only that, but he lives by the principle of seeking knowledge.

A2 A bigot would never take time to squash beef between (non-Muslim) rappers, empathize with his people in the LGBT community or invite members of the @womensmarch and others w different views/faith to be apart of 10/10/15 Justice or Else etc. @LouisFarrakhan is no such thing. ??‍♀️

— Kenya Muhammad (@PeliKEN_Fly) November 14, 2018

The Minister has been nothing but an example of the Joseph that you read about in the Bible that had a coat of many colors. His world friendship tour found him meeting White Russian Muslims and people of many backgrounds and faith traditions. Bigots dont do that. #CoveredGirl

— Rahima Muhammad (@SisterRah) November 14, 2018

A popular lie going around about Minister Farrakhan is that he hates the LGBTQ community. The women participating in the chat debunked the claim.

I remember the minister saying that some of the brightest among us come from our LGBTQ+ Family (he calls them family). And that we can’t go anywhere without them. So…. I don’t know where they get this lie from. #CoveredGirl #Farrakhan

— Queen Nzinga (@QueenNzinga13) November 14, 2018

Q3: The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan's guidance for the LGBTQ community comes from scripture. That is where men of God speak from. And he has stated & demonstrated REPEATEDLY that he loves all people regardless of how our lives line up w/ scripture. #CoveredGirl #Farrakhan

— Renae A. Muhammad (@RenaeAMuhammad) November 14, 2018

The women also rejected the idea that denouncing Minister Farrakhan would take away from his work, and they directly challenged Alyssa Milano and Debra Messing on their motives and their seemingly hypocritical stance.

Divine Grind Top News

Netflix, Farrakhan & Controversy

written by AQMBlog Staff

By Richard Muhammad | FinalCall.com

The recent decision by Netflix to cancel a documentary about the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam isn’t really about the movie not being seen. It is about a relentless campaign to smear, isolate and destroy a man who has devoted his life to Black people and the cause of freedom, justice and equality.

Destroy? Isn’t that a rather strong word? Not really.

If you look at history you know that the Federal Bureau of Investigation had a domestic counterintelligence program. FBI director J. Edgar Hoover wrote in a 1967 directive, “The purpose of this new counterintelligence endeavor is to expose, disrupt, misdirect, discredit or otherwise neutralize the activities of black-nationalist, hate-type organizations and groupings, their leadership, spokesmen, membership and supporters.”

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

One of the meanings of neutralize is to “kill,” or “destroy.”

The FBI’s domestic war pitted Black groups across the political spectrum, from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and civil rights groups to the revolutionary Black Panther Party, against one another. FBI operatives also infiltrated these groups and pit members against one another. Then there were assassinations, like the 1969 killing of Black Panther leader Fred Hampton in Chicago. The FBI operation knew virtually no bounds and in its efforts to destroy the Nation of Islam and other groups.

So, if the government worked to destroy a movement yesterday and a man resurrected that movement today, is it possible that the man would be left alone? Emphatically not! When he brought back the Nation, beginning his work in the late 1970s, Min. Farrakhan was clearly a threat. His uncompromising voice and his independent support base only added to the desire to destroy him.

When he called nearly two million Black men to Washington, D.C. in 1995, despite ridicule and no help from major corporations, civil rights groups, unions, political organizations or sponsors, the Minister’s threat level rose even higher.

Despite a media disinformation campaign, including a widespread media white-out for some 15 years, Min. Farrakhan has kept working and challenging the evils of America. He has traveled abroad and made international connections while condemning the evil of the U.S. government, which Dr. King called the “greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.”

The Minister was sanctioned by the Senate in 1984, with no Blacks in the upper chamber of Congress, and a federal lawmaker from Indiana is seeking House sanction of a man who is not a government official and who has never even been arrested.

While the media assaults have been constant, an onslaught has come full force since February 2018. Alongside the “condemn Farrakhan” chorus of the enemy is the effort to punish, kowtow, bludgeon and smite anyone who comes near Min. Farrakhan. We saw that with the pitiful yelps of Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) declaring he wasn’t with Farrakhan and the pressure exerted on activist and Women’s March co-chair Tamika Mallory by those who hate a man Black America and others love.

Scripture shows us Pharaoh worried about the growth of the children of Israel and wisely tried to destroy them. Pharaoh feared the children of Israel would join onto an enemy and come against those who had oppressed them. Biblical rulers also sought to find and kill deliverers, just look at the stories of Moses and Jesus. Is this a prophecy that points to today or a work of fiction and relic from yesterday?

The divine word, if understood, shows us what is happening today using signs and symbols of yesterday.

Blacks in America fulfill the prophetic picture of the children of Israel and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, patriarch of the Nation of Islam, is the modern Moses, and Min. Farrakhan is the modern Aaron. And, there has always been a fear that Blacks might join on to a foreign enemy or become a domestic threat inside the United States of America. That’s one of the reasons for the super-surveillance and over-policing of Black people and targeting of Black organizations.

Also pushing the federal government are the wicked members of the Jewish community, who have opposed every good deed and all of the good works of a good man.

According to the New York Times, Jewish groups pressured Netflix to drop the documentary.

“This film will not be released on Netflix. Due to an internal miscommunication, it appeared to be scheduled for release on Netflix, but it is not. We apologize for any confusion this has caused,” a Netflix spokesperson said Aug. 1.

But the Minister’s documentary was to appear on the global streaming platform with promos of the movie cited in overseas listings.

The Nation of Islam, in a statement, said: “The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan produced a documentary entitled, ‘My Life’s Journey Through Music’.

“As late as July 30, 2018, Netflix published that this documentary would be ‘Coming August 1’ on its media platform. On July 31, 2018, less than 24 hours before the airing of the documentary, the Nation of Islam became aware through news and online outlets that Netflix decided not to air it due to ‘internal miscommunication’.

“The Nation of Islam has not been informed of what was the alleged ‘internal miscommunication’. The timing of Netflix’s decision—at the 11th hour—to cancel the airing of the documentary affected millions of potential viewers and raises more questions than answers:

“In light of this untimely sequence of events, did Netflix bow to outside forces in canceling the airing of the documentary?

“Did media pressure contribute to this result?”

Consider that. Why this one man, why the unceasing opposition, why the rabid reactions?

The De-verification and Twitter Assault On Farrakhan

written by AQMBlog Staff

By Jesse Muhammad

Social media attacks on the truth and Nation of Islam Minister increase and raise questions about opposition to freedom of speech, free thought and Black self-determination.

Those who vehemently oppose the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan recognize the global impact he has and is having on the masses via an array of social media platforms and they won’t stop until his accounts are completely shut down.

“Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was a national security adviser, I think under Jimmy Carter, he said, ‘It’s easier to kill a million people than to control a million people.’ With the technology that’s now available: You and I are talking, and the words that we just spoke are on social media,” said Minister Farrakhan during a recent radio interview in St. Kitts.

“If it’s on Facebook, if it’s on Instagram, if it’s on Twitter, if it’s on any of the media outlets that this iPhone and smartphone, and the work of Steve Jobs and others have done, the whole world is at our fingertips in an instant. The control of the masses that has always been the purview of elites who control media and information that goes to the public—that’s over now!”

Slide presentation shows President Richard Nixon and Evangelist Billy Graham in a discussion on the growing moral degradation in America. Mr. Graham expressed fear that Jewish controlled entities were the source of the moral decline

He continued, “So what you have in Black America, in the Caribbean, in the UK, in Africa, all over the world, is an instant communication that is causing the awakening of the masses. This is both good and bad. It’s good that we are awakening, which means we are demanding more, we are trying to correct the mistakes that we make, but we are also forcing government to do what government does not want to do for the masses of Black and Brown people.”

Evidently, the Satanic Jews and Synagogue of Satan hate the sight of his words, videos and images trending and spreading on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube and generating millions of views. They hate to see daily comments and testimonies from those who are instantly touched by him on every continent. So, it’s no surprise that specifically the past eight months the online campaign to ban Minister Farrakhan has intensified. However, they have been countered by online users inside and outside the Nation of Islam who support Minister Farrakhan and have appreciated his presence on social media the past seven years.

De-verification and Defending Farrakhan

On June 8, Twitter, Inc. de-verified Minister Farrakhan’s Twitter account (@LouisFarrakhan) by removing his blue verification badge. While the opposition celebrated the decision, supporters of Minister Farrakhan found it to be a frivolous attempt to derail his social media reach; boldly declaring that he is verified by God and verified in the hearts and minds of the people.

According to their website, “The blue verified badge on Twitter lets people know that an account of public interest is authentic” and “a verified badge does not imply an endorsement by Twitter.”

According to their Terms of Service, “Twitter reserves the right to remove verification at any time without notice. Reasons for removal may reflect behaviors on and off Twitter that include: Intentionally misleading people on Twitter by changing one’s display name or bio. Promoting hate and/or violence against, or directly attacking or threatening other people on the basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, religious affiliation, age, disability, or disease. Supporting organizations or individuals that promote the above. Inciting or engaging in harassment of others. Violence and dangerous behavior. (Directly or indirectly threatening or encouraging any form of physical violence against an individual or any group of people, including threatening or promoting terrorism. Violent, gruesome, shocking, or disturbing imagery. Self-harm, suicide.)”

Why is Minister Farrakhan’s account de-verified then?

Many news outlets reported that Minister Farrakhan’s blue verification badge was ultimately removed due to a video posted to his account on June 6 with the caption, “Thoroughly and completely unmasking the Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan.” The clip, only a minute and a half in length, is from the May 27 address he delivered at Mosque Maryam in Chicago.

“I wonder will you recognize Satan. I wonder will you see the Satanic Jew and the Synagogue of Satan which has many races in it because Satan has deceived the whole world,” said Minister Farrakhan in the posted video, which has over 800,000 views.

“Think about the message that I was blessed by God to give you today. Think about what they’re going to say when they have been so thoroughly and completely unmasked. Whenever you read that God has told the Jews to hear and obey and they say, ‘I hear and I disobey,’ that’s Satan openly disobeying God. He’s prepared to take the whole world down with him. Come out. Come out of her my people,” he continued.

The Anti-Defamation League and others, such as CNN’s Jake Tapper, started attacking the entire message and that video clip in particular as being “hateful” and “anti-semitic.” Twitter, Inc. then started receiving numerous reports from those who flagged the video in hopes it would be removed for so-called violations of Twitter’s policies.

However, the email account connected to Minister Farrakhan’s Twitter page received multiple notifications from Twitter, Inc. with the following confirmation: “We have received a complaint regarding your account, @LouisFarrakhan, for the following content. We have investigated the reported content and could not identify any violations of the Twitter Rules (https://support.twitter.com/articles/18311) or applicable law. Accordingly, we have not taken any action at this time. Sincerely, Twitter.”

Many such as former Daily Mail reporter Karen Yossman tweeted out that they reported the same video yet received the same response from Twitter. If Twitter and their executives found no violations of their policies or terms of services in that video, what’s the motive for de-verifying Minister Farrakhan? Who is behind this?

Twitter Chat Shuts Down Farrakhan Accusers

written by AQMBlog Staff

JoshuasTruth.com

Both men and women took to Twitter on Tuesday night to respond to accusations against Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan and women who back him.

The Twitter chat was designed and moderated by Ebony Muhammad, a member of the Nation of Islam and publisher of Hurt 2 Healing Magazine. She has done similar chats in the past when Minister Farrakhan was faced with accusations.

Muhammad felt it was necessary to organize a chat because the positive impact Minister Farrakhan had on her life and the lives of others needed defending.

“What we are setting out to accomplish, what we are participating in tonight isn’t even a drop in the ocean compared to the decades of defence the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has done on our behalf,” Ebony Muhammad said. “Before many of us were even in our mother’s womb, the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan was preserving a space for us to learn the Truth of who we are, Who God is and who our open enemy is. Tonight, like any moment we step into social media to tweet his words, videos and defend him, is an act of ongoing gratitude. We must get on the witness stand and give our testimonies!”

The Twitter chat came on the heels of a slew of accusations from media professionals and Jewish leaders following Minister Farrakhan’s Feb. 25 Saviours’ Day address. Most prominently, Jake Tapper, an anchor for CNN’s The lead, took to Twitter to point out what he considered to be anti-Semitic quotes by Minister Farrakhan.

He also called out Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour, activists and organizers for the Women’s March, for standing with Minister Farrakhan.

Publications including CNN, the Chicago Tribune, Haaretz and The Jerusalem Post published articles on Minister Farrakhan’s Saviours’ Day address. Similar to Jake Tapper’s tweets, the articles mention parts of Minister Farrakhan’s speech that refer to the Jewish people.

In response, the Final Call Newspaper, which is owned and ran by the Nation of Islam, published an article in its latest issue titled “Farrakhan’s defenders challenge Jewish lies.”

The article offers an argument about why Jews continue to attack Minister Farrakhan, the success Minister Farrakhan has had despite the attacks from his critics and remarks he made during his Saviours’ Day address that many publications are not paying attention to.

On top of that, mostly women of the Nation of Islam further defended Minister Farrakhan through Twitter.

The first question posed during the Twitter chat was:

Starla Muhammad, the assistant editor of the Final Call Newspaper, replied:

The next question regarded the nature of Minister Farrakhan being called a hater and a racist.

18-year-old Nzinga Muhammad from Rochester, New York said:

Queen Nzinga@QueenNzinga13

We cant be racist. To be racist is to have collective control and power on a plethora of levels that oppress others solely based on their race. In order for black people to do this, we would need to reverse 400+ years of oppression and you cannot do that. #CoveredGirl #Farrakhan

A2 Nah. If he taught hate then his followers would reflect that. The MGT & FOI are some of the most peaceful/civilized people. What he does teach is TRUTH. And the truth about most people is UGLY and they can’t take it. Not his fault. #Farrakhan #CoveredGirl

8:56 PM – Mar 6, 2018

Participants of the Twitter chat showered love on Tamika Mallory, Erykah Badu and strong Black women in general who are unafraid to stand with Minister Farrakhan.

Renata Muhammad from Miami, Florida said:

Aqueelah Arbyummi from Washington, D.C. told the sisters she stands with them in truth.

Other issues the Twitter chat tackled include homophobia, the LGBTQ community, and the controversy over Malcolm X.

Khadijah Muhammad from Memphis, Tennessee tweeted out:

Q5: Regarding Malcolm X: The Honorable Minister @LouisFarrakhan has been accused of being responsible for his assassination. Is he? Why does this topic continue to come up? What is the motive for such accusations? #Farrakhan #CoveredGirl

Farrakhan called me a Star.@_ohmyAllah

1. When a lie is repeated often enough, ppl start to believe it as the Truth just by sheer repetition. Malcolm X was assassinated by the same poeple who killed MLK. There is no proof that #Farrakhan is responsible for his assassination. #CoveredGirl

9:21 PM – Mar 6, 2018

The final question of the night asked participants if they experienced misogyny by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

Georgina Muhammad from Pasco, Washington said she doesn’t feel oppressed.

Ebony S. Muhammad@EbonySafiyyah

Q6: The issue of misogyny has come up, again. Sisters, do you feel oppressed, disrespected, hatred or any form of prejudice from the Honorable Minister @LouisFarrakhan? Please let everyone know what the Minister has done for you as a woman! #Farrakhan #CoveredGirl

Georgina Muhammad@starncrescent

Farrakhan’s defenders challenge Jewish lies

written by AQMBlog Staff

Defenders of Nation of Islam Minister respond to false charges against him, attacks by Jewish and Zionist groups and expose the enemies of the rise of Black people.

News articles, social media salvos and false charges met with strong rebuke

Jewish and Zionist groups who have harassed, slandered, and stalked Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan began spinning another web of deceit and lies after the Muslim leader delivered a powerful three-hour message to close the Nation’s annual Saviours’ Day convention in Chicago.

It started weeks earlier, but like a wave built to a crescendo. The problem is the wave didn’t wash away its target. Jewish efforts to force Black leaders and activists to publicly disavow the Minister were largely unsuccessful.

And, the Jewish onslaught was met with a stinging rebuke by those who love the Minister, those who recognize his value to the Black community, and those who refuse to accept the 30-year-old lie that he is anti-Jewish.

“Here is what is always amazing to me,” observed Father Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago. “When people like Billy Graham, or countless other White people and Christian people say the things that they say, people would (just) say they disagree with them.”

Min. Farrakhan greets his longtime friend and ally Father Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina.

“When Farrakhan says the same things and points out wickedness when he sees it, he’s an anti-Semite, he’s a hater; he hates people; he hates Jews,” said Father Pfleger. “Minister Farrakhan hates evil. Whether it’s in White, Black, Brown, Jewish, Christian, Muslim. … And when he points it out, they demonize him.”

The Catholic priest added, “We have to value, surround and make sure we lift up Minister Farrakhan and the prophetic voices like him, so that we support them, because there are very few anymore. Prophetic voices are vanishing, they’ve grown silent and they are afraid,” he said. “And there are too many imams, pastors and rabbis that have sold out to the devil.”

Munir Muhammad drew a diverse crowd of elected officials, judges and potential judges, professionals and corporate leaders to the March 4 annual fundraiser for the Coalition for the Remembrance of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad in Chicago (CROE). CROE preserves and presents the words and work of Elijah Muhammad through photos, videotapes, lectures, and broadcasts and special programs. It is a Nation of Islam archives.

After a couple of starts and pauses, he brought in Min. Farrakhan who offered brief words about Munir Muhammad and CROE’s work, which includes distribution of interviews and shows through a wide cable TV network and the Internet. Munir Muhammad was unapologetic in his embrace of the Minister and warned his audience about giving into fears and lies about Min. Farrakhan, a man who has worked for Black people.

Eleven-thousand people came to hear the Minister at the Wintrust Arena and he has been serving us for 62 years, said Munir Muhammad. Yet, he said, Whites can come and question you about taking a photo with him? I love to take pictures with him and so do you, I saw you with your phones out, said Munir Muhammad. But, he added, these attacks and lies on the Minister should not be allowed. Min. Farrakhan is not a hater, he said.

The failed ‘Farrakhan Litmus’ test

During his Feb. 25 message, Minister Farrakhan responded to charges of anti-Semitism that reemerged with the publication of a 2005 photo of the Minister and then-Senator Barack Obama of Illinois.

After howling unsuccessfully for President Obama to repudiate Min. Farrakhan again, the ADL, other paternalistic Zionist organizations and Jewish publications demanded to know why the Minister was invited to the Congressional Black Caucus legislative weekend, where the photo was taken. They polled Black lawmakers and again demanded that “Farrakhan be repudiated.” The vast majority of Black congressmen did not bow to their demands.

Rep. Keith Ellison

Next came shots aimed at Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, who is Black and a Muslim.

Many people have come in and left the mosque, and Rep. Ellison was in the Nation in 1995, said the Minister, at the Wintrust Arena. He’s a lawyer who wants to help his community by becoming a congressman but was pressured about closeness to Min. Farrakhan, said the beloved leader. “I’m not here to bash my brother,” he added. But the Minister said, in this world Jewish people hold the door to positions of power. “So you will turn on your brother for some advantage in their world,” said Min. Farrakhan. “If you want something from the White man and you have to denounce me, how will you act when your trial comes?”

Demands came Feb. 22 from CNN’s Wolf Blitzer that Rep. Ellison denounce Min. Farrakhan again. Mr. Ellison, who was chosen as deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee, quickly joined the anti-Farrakhan chorus. Min. Farrakhan described how Black politicians and leaders call for his help but bow to Jewish and White interests when pressured. And, he added, Rep. Ellison visited me in my hotel in 2015 as the 20th anniversary of the Million Man March was commemorated with a call for “Justice Or Else.”

Jewish people have control of agencies of government and the enemy is so angry that if you like me and want something in this world, you have to denounce me or keep the relationship secret, said Min. Farrakhan.

Unmasking the deceivers

Minister Farrakhan again called out his Jewish detractors to a public debate and challenged them to defeat the truth that he has consistently spoken from the Honorable Elijah Muhammad that Blacks in America fulfil prophecy and are the true children of Israel.

Instead, the Anti-Defamation League took to social media to attack the Minister and Jewish and right wing media outlets joined the assault. Yet the 10,000 seat arena where the Minister spoke in Chicago was full, his Instagram account shows him dispensing wisdom to another generation of young people and his recently released boxed set music compilation features such artists as Snoop, Rick Ross, Common, Chaka Khan and others.

Surely these individuals would not associate with a hater.

“This is why you see this resurgence of attack, because for all that the Anti-Defamation League, the Southern Poverty Law Center, the media controlled by the Jews have done has not stopped the truth coming from the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan. And they have not been able to separate the divine, magnetic power that the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has from the God and his Christ and their people, which is Black people and oppressed people throughout the world,” said Abdul Arif Muhammad, Nation of Islam general counsel.

Recording artist Stephanie Mills and Min. Farrakhan at Saviours’ Day.

R&B singer and actress Stephanie Mills exemplified this sentiment when she bowed at his feet and kissed his hands after serenading Minister Farrakhan with a rendition of “To God Be The Glory,” before his Saviours’ Day keynote.

Ms. Mills said she has no fear, never has, and bowed to show the world her devotion to Minister Farrakhan and the valuable man that he is.

Minister Farrakhan’s helpers, followers, and supporters noted he and the NOI have withstood his enemies’ unfounded attacks for decades with the protection of Allah (God) and his enemies know he is backed by God.

“The so-called Jews, this is what they do. This is what they’ve been doing,” said Anthony Shahid, St. Louis activist and co-founder of the Tauheed Youth Group. He also started the “Hands Up Don’t Shoot” chant that emerged following the killing of Mike Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., in 2014.

“First of all, I’m thankful to Allah that we have a man like him, who stands on truth. … He’s the last figure that’s standing that they can’t make him bend. And they can’t break him. And they can’t buy him,” Mr. Shahid told The Final Call. “This is the only thing that they can do, but they’ve got to remember that this is not him doing this. This is what Allah’s doing. Allah chose him,” said the activist, who has known Minister Farrakhan since 1965.

“They’re not attacking Minister Farrakhan. They’re attacking us as a people. … He’s our spokesman. He stands up and speaks for us,” Mr. Shahid said.

Success despite Jewish onslaught

Dr. Ava Muhammad, Minister Farrakhan’s national spokesperson, a NOI student minister, and attorney, saw another aspect of the Jewish attacks and the Minister’s continued success.

“It is because they are losing the war between truth and falsehood, because our people, with the help of Allah and the help of Satan, are accepting the truth that Minister Farrakhan has been preaching for 62 years and the last 40 years alone, in the absence of his teacher,” said Dr. Ava Muhammad, who also hosts a radio show on WVON-AM 1690 in Chicago.

She said the attacks and upset over the photo with Barack Obama, Black politicians and Tamika Mallory’s audience participation at Saviours’ Day are signs that his enemies recognize Minister Farrakhan’s influence.

Philadelphia’s Jihad Ahmed, community activist and founder of the Men of Purpose Initiative said, the ADL’s attacks fall on death ears in the Black community.

“Most Black people support Min. Farrakhan because they see him as the last of the great leaders. Min. Farrakhan has been out on the front line for our community for well over 60 years,” he told The Final Call.

“When other leaders have sold us short, the Minister has been right there as a champion for his people. As far as him being against the Jews, I don’t believe he’s against anyone. I believe he’s against those that have wronged his people.”

Minister Farrakhan’s enemies are circulating photos of him with Black politicians, one including the names of 21 Black civic leaders, purportedly Black members of Congress, who have not disavowed him.

Wilmer Leon, a political scientist, commentator, author and host of the Sirius XM Radio Show Inside the Issues told The Final Call, “Minister Farrakhan is a clear, consistent and uncompromising voice to a people—African Americans specifically, people of color and those of good conscience—around the world who have been and continue to be oppressed by the forces of White settler colonialism and neo-liberal policies.”

“Zionists attack him because his message contradicts their interests. Zionists turned on Rev. Jackson when he met with (Palestinian Liberation Organization) Chairman (Yasser) Arafat. We have more in common with the oppressed Palestinians than we do with their Zionist oppressors,” said Dr. Leon.

“It was the government of Israel that backed the apartheid regime in South Africa. We have more in common with the Black South Africans than we do with Zionists. Minister Farrakhan has been a clear voice in the anti-Zionist movement,” he continued.

“Historically, the Minister’s ‘do for self’ message of economic, religious and cultural nationalism grew out of the Black Power struggle between 1967-1970. I realize that the Nation was formed before this but there was a real rise to power during this time. This was the time that the rise of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation grew parallel with the Black Power Movement and a strong sense of Black Nationalism,” said Dr. Leon explained.

“The Minister has grown out of that lineage and he finds himself under attack because he is one man with one voice who they cannot buy or control. If his nationalist message ever truly took hold in the African American community, it would change the power dynamic in the country and could also impact foreign policy.”

St. Louis Alderman John C. Muhammad told The Final Call, “Jewish groups and organizations have bashed the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan in an effort to ruin and tarnish his Godly reputation and works.”

“There is an attempt to stir the masses of people away from the Minister because he and the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad represents a whole new world that does not include oppression, falsehood, and destruction. Minister Farrakhan is the last man standing, who represents the most downtrodden and oppressed people on earth,” said the young activist and political leader.

“The ADL used our hashtags in order to ride in on what they know is always trending during Saviours’ Day weekend,” said Jesse Muhammad, social media strategist for Minister Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam.

“People were attacking us while the Minister was speaking because why? Farrakhan was trending in the national rankings. He was trending number one at one point and he stayed in the number five spot for over two hours. So they were cursing us out and cursing at him. They even hate to see the Minister’s name even trending on their laptops and their smartphones,” he said.

Minister Farrakhan – A Man Worthy to Protect with My Life: A Response to Kwame Rose from LaShonda Muhammad

written by AQM Blog Staff

[Source: Hurt2HealingMag.com]

Ebony S. Muhammad (EM): I understand that you’ve read the article written by Kwame Rose regarding the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan‘s interview on the Breakfast Club and the subject of women covering and the issue of rape.

LaShonda Muhammad (LM): Yes ma’am.

EM: What were your initial thoughts after reading that article?

LM: My initial words were that he took the Minister’s comments out of context. That was disheartening, because I heard the entire Breakfast Club interview. As a woman who works within women’s rights and have for the past 27 years, I listened carefully toward that question.

I objectively read his article to hear his concern. The allegation, which of course is a serious allegation, to basically promote that women can be raped based on their clothing is a gross negligence of what the Minister’s words were and the way that he relayed it. I don’t know how he, Kwame Rose, received that understanding after listening to the same interview that I listened to. So yes ma’am I did read it, and it wasn’t consistent with what I heard on the Breakfast Club.

EM: What do you think is behind the words written by Kwame Rose and those who think like him regarding Minister Farrakhan?

LM: I think that we always have to listen out for several factors. There is ignorance among our people that we have to always be aware of. We have to continue to educate ourselves and our community, to elevate our thinking and our understanding. Next, we have to always be aware of the “hidden hand”. We have to be aware of those who want to portray Minister Farrakhan in a negative light. Some will take his words, which historically the media has done on a consistent basis, and will contort his words, will misconstrue his words and will put it back out to get a certain rise out of the community in which he has safely served.

I looked from both standpoints, and I believe I hear a level of ignorance as well as a hidden agenda with it. As a Black woman it is my duty to stand up and be able to say how Minister Farrakhan has impacted my life. As a woman, now into my 40s, the way that he has impacted me and my quality of living and my life as a result of having his guidance, I had to share some words of this mis-portrayal of the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan.

As a Black woman and as a woman who is striving to live up to the Scripture as it relates to modesty, I have to be able to speak and share the importance of what Minister Farrakhan is sharing with us as women. As Kwame Rose put in his article, Minister Farrakhan said that we are sacred vessels. Therefore, if we are sacred vessels, what sacred vessel would walk around looking like a prostitute or looking like a woman in a strip club? When we have this kind of mis-education of women and our modesty and how we dress, then we have to continue to come out and educate.

My personal desire is to be pleasing to God. Not to be pleasing to man! I like to dress, I love fashion. When I go out, I like to look nice. However, I’m not striving to look nice for men. I’m not striving to look nice for people. I’m striving to look nice for myself. I’m striving to look nice for that which will be pleasing in God’s sight. So to say to a woman or to mis-portray that interview as Minister Farrakhan gave us, where we are saying that “no one wakes up and gets dressed with the intent of being raped nor should we begin to teach young girls to be ashamed of their natural bodily growth”, Minister Farrakhan NEVER said that a young girl should be ashamed of her natural bodily growth NOR did he say because a woman is dressed scantily clad that gives anyone the right to rape her! Absolutely not!

What he did remind us of as women is of OUR responsibility. This is for those of us who want to strive to be pleasing in the eyesight of God. If that is our goal and if that is our desire, we have to go and look into what Scripture says. We have to be able to go and say, “Okay, what does God want and desire of me, and am I in harmony with that?” When we go against God’s words, then we know there are consequence and repercussions that take place such as a man lusting after us. Now certainly we can’t control what’s in the mind of a sick man or someone who is viewing our body and lusting after that, but we do have a responsibility as women not to incite that if in fact we are striving to be in accordance with what the Word says.

I was looking over a few Scriptures that came to me that confirmed I was on the right path when striving to be modest and striving to go out into the world appropriately in order to be pleasing in the eyesight of God. In 1 Timothy 2:9-10 it says, “Likewise that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but what is proper for women who profess Godliness with good works”. See that puts the responsibility back on us, because God is saying that we should go out in respectable apparel. So I think that alone shows the author of this article, Kwame Rose, if Minister Farrakhan, who is a Spiritual Leader, is guiding women to be able to be in harmony and in tune with God’s Word, that we have a responsibility as women to obey God and obey those Commandments that He has put on us.

As women we have a responsibility. That is what I got from that Scripture where it puts it back on us. That’s what Minister Farrakhan, in my humble opinion, was doing. He wasn’t justifying the madness of men who suffer that kind of sickness. Minister Farrakhan has been one of the greatest champions in helping to clean up Black men; Black men that were out doing those kinds of activities. He has cleaned them up. He has taught them back to their origins as gods, so as a result of that there are countless numbers of men who would say to brother Kwame Rose, “He [Minister Farrakhan] has helped me to clear up my misunderstanding of how I look and view a woman when she is walking scantily clad”. So Minister Farrakhan has NEVER justified a man to rape a woman because of the way she is dressed. He is putting the responsibility back to us as women of God that it is our duty to follow God’s Commandments. So for those sick men who are out there, we’re not giving them bait in order to try to go from there with their inappropriate misunderstanding to rape or cause violent harm to us.

EM: Yes ma’am! Thank you.

My last question is: You are a member of the National Security Team for the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan along with a number of other women. Why is he worthy to protect with your life?

LM: Wow…The Minister is so worthy to defend and protect with my life, because of what he has given to me. Something that is so precious. He has given me a knowledge of who I am. He has given me the opportunity to know God. As a young teenager, up until that point of hearing Minister Farrakhan, I had no understanding, I had no conviction, I had no communion with God. Once I heard the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s words, he transformed my life right there as a high school student. The thing that I was encouraged to do, the thing that was culturally accepted, once I heard his strength it gave me strength to realize that I don’t have to go that way. Even though this world tells me, as a Black woman, that I am defined by their standards by how big my behind is or how big my breasts are or how great my body is or how long my hair is or my skin complexion; once I heard the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan I knew that the way God made me was 100% RIGHT! It has allowed me to accept all of my beauty and all of my flaws. It has allowed me to realize that the greatest way I can serve my life is in service to God. When I heard those words that Minister Farrakhan has given to me, it watered my soul so much that it has allowed me to live a life of peace; not a life without trials because that is ordained by God. He has given me the mass to be able to overcome what some of us as a people had to endure and had to overcome in order to get closer to God.

Therefore, a man who has really given me my spiritual life is a man who is worthy of me to be able to give my physical life to protect him. Why? Because I’m one individual who God didn’t put the Message in to go and deliver to millions of people, but He did give the message to him. So as a result of that, my one life to be able to protect millions of lives means that I’m as close to God. I’m striving to be self-LESS in trying to take away my desire for my life and think about the lives of my people, think about the lives of others, to think about the ancestors who lost their lives so that I could be here and have a better quality of life. So it is my duty to be able to protect that which God has given to us as a vehicle and a vessel to help save millions of people from this downtrodden existence that this world constantly promotes to us as good.

Minster Farrakhan continues to show me and share with us that we can stand up in this wicked society, and that we are able to be women and men of God, and we can help to establish God’s Kingdom on Earth! It is through our submission, it is through our righteousness, it is through our sincere belief and desire that will help to rid the wickedness out of this world.

I might not see it in this physical life, but if I can help my children’s children, well then I’ve done my part when and if I have to give my life. I pray to Almighty God, Allah, that I would not hesitate if that became a reality for me. And if I had to give my life, it’s not about me. It is truly about my 9-year-old daughter and her future children and her future children and so on and so forth, that I would be able to be self-less enough to realize that I was able to give a little piece in helping to destroy Satan and bring down his wicked kingdom and help establish Godliness. Well then guess what? I will give my life, but not without a fight! I’m going to strive to do the best I can to sustain my life, but I will give it for such a worthy cause without, Insha’Allah, hesitation for a man who has given life to me and so many millions of others.

So I’m grateful for that vessel that God has given to us in the person of the Honorable Minster Louis Farrakhan! I pray for his continued success. He is a wise man. See this is why it’s so dangerous with what brother Kwame Rose has written, because this is an 83-year-young Servant of God. We should be VERY mindful with how we handle him and that we should not misinterpret his words. He was very clear with what he gave us as good guidance to help so many women to avoid being raped as a result of learning more about how they should be pleasing in the eyesight of God. How could that cause something negative as opposed to a positive outcome? That’s when you know God is involved with it when it produces a positive outcome.

So what I’m saying to brother Kwame is as a Black woman that’s now well-dressed, when I go out there are still some men who will try to come and talk to me, as a well-dressed respectable woman. So imagine, and I know before I became a Muslim and was dressing with short pants and tight skirts, the amount of attention a woman gets from a man when she is dressed in that manner.

When a man sees a woman who is at least respectful, I find that or at least being on this side of a woman striving to be modest, that they are much more mindful of the way they come to us versus when I was a young teenager and the way they were so aggressive towards us. It was because they felt as though, “Hey if you’re putting it out there you must want something”. Well we know that it shouldn’t equate to that in the mind of a sane man. A sane man would not think like that, but a man who is NOT of his sane mind would say, “Well she’s dressed like she’s offering it to me”. Therefore, the best thing to do to be pleasing in the eyesight of God, is cover yourself and dress modestly. Preserve what God has blessed you with, your adornments, for that man who will take it to that Godly level in marriage.

That’s what Minister Farrakhan has given to me as a Black woman here in the hells of North America. He has given me that kind of wonderful guidance that I can now share with my 9-year-old daughter.

My biological sister was mishandled and fondled by a family friend as a result of this insane mind or this man who certainly had a grave misunderstanding. However, my sister as a younger woman was very built and had a beautiful shape and body. My mother would always tell her, especially when men folk would come around, “Be mindful to put on proper clothing and go cover yourself”. My sister who is now mature and has been able to articulate and share with her young nieces the importance of modesty and covering yourself, because here is a family friend…she certainly had no responsibility for his sickness. I don’t care what she had on. HOWEVER, as a result of her beautiful body and forming so young, it tempted him with his insanity to then go and, unfortunately, molest her at a young age.

So now one of the plights that she has taken on is to be able to share with other young women the importance of their modesty, the importance of covering, the importance of not giving a man, with insanity, more ammunition to further that insanity. She took responsibility. Yes we certainly blame him for what he did, but she took responsibility – not what he did to her but to continue a good message to women. As a Godly woman it is our responsibility of covering ourselves and not allowing those kind of sick men to have ammunition to try to hurt us in their ignorance and grave misunderstanding.

That’s in tune with what Minster Farrakhan has given us and as a result of that, I strive to live my life by that and I strive to teach my daughter that. What negativity could come out of a woman trying to please God and cover and be in align with what the Scriptures of the Bible and Holy Quran has given to us?

Therefore, I would advise my brother Kwame to go and really look carefully into his (Minister Farrakhan’s) words, because it could cause women to believe that it’s okay to continue in this manner of dress when it is not okay. It is our duty as women to be respectful of what God’s words are. It is clear in the Scripture, and if we go by God words we don’t have to be tempted by Satan in his world and his worldly desires.

EM: Beautifully and brilliantly said Sis!!! Thank you so much for your time and all of the work to you are putting in for our Nation and for the women!

LM: All Praise Is Due To Allah! Thank you for the honor!

The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, our present-day Zacharias: A Response to Kwame Rose

written by AQM Blog Staff

So here we are, right in the thick of it – that time the scripture refers to as “the end times.” No clearer sign of this is when men and women alike are being attacked for encouraging women to be respectful, decent and modest in their dress; but, those who encourage women to dress provocatively and embrace the feminist ‘SlutWalk’ movement are lauded. Hmm?

Brother Kwame Rose, you did get one thing right in your article, On Louis Farrakhan and Rape, you referred to him as The HONORABLE Minister Louis Farrakhan and honorable he is and always has been. The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has no record of misogyny, disrespect or victim-blaming of any female, ever. His record is open and available for all, to thoroughly research and parse both his written words and his thousands upon thousands of hours of speeches given over the past six decades. You will find he is consistent in his effort to teach both men and women about the sacredness and immeasurable value of the woman.

by Fudia Muhammad

During his interview with The Breakfast Club, the Minister opened his remarks when asked about the dress of women by saying to our sisters, “I’m in-love with you. I love you like I love life itself.” I am puzzled at the fact that you find the Minister calling women “sacred vessels” contradictory to stating that they should be covered in the presence of men. Anything that you value or consider priceless should not be shown off and displayed in the presence of someone who might find that item enticing. Yes, of course there are some men who are so sick that they will disrespect, abuse and even rape a modestly dressed woman; but the fact is that a woman significantly decreases her chances of even being harassed, when she is dressed modestly – just ask the sisters in the Nation of Islam.

You also recklessly stated in your article that Minister Farrakhan was “undermining beauty and independence of Black women, and celebrating her predators,” – Whoa…did we listen to the same interview? Did you not hear Minister Farrakhan say, “In our world (of Islam) the penalty for abusing women and children is death. And unless we are willing at some point to kill those who rape our women; to kill those who destroy our children – that’s going to come. Not now, because you have to be taught first and given a chance to reform your life. But you are not going to live among us and carry out that crap and not pay for it…I hope we never will have to do that.” Those words certainly do not sound like a man blaming the rape victim.

Dear Brother, your disagreement is really not with Minister Farrakhan, it is with God, Himself. In both Bible and Holy Qur’an women are admonished to cover so that they may be known and not given trouble. Modest attire distinguished righteous, chaste women and protected them from the insults and ill-treatment of men inclined to evil. The same is true today.

So, whenever you attempt to critique or interpret the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s intentions, you must do so from the perspective of God because he is a man of God. The Minister is only reminding and warning us of what God has already told us. Prophets and messengers do not come when everything is good. No, they are sent by God to offer guidance to a nation or people who have gone off the right path and need to get back to being pleasing in the sight of God. This is what Minister Farrakhan offers to us. He is the Black woman’s present-day Zacharias.

In the Holy Qur’an, we learn that Zacharias “was a righteous caretaker of a righteous girl (Mary) who grew up in the Mosque.” Mary, the mother of Jesus, grew up under the care of Zacharias and lived in the temple under the law of God. Mary had a goodly growing up because God “needed a good woman, uncontaminated by the world, through whom He could bring the Messiah.” Mary is only a sign of the Black woman in America. We need righteous women who may be in the world, but are willing not to be of the world, and will gladly accept the guidance being offered by a righteous man whose only desire is to see our people completely free from the clutches of our open enemy.

I do believe that we can all agree with the ultimate goal, which is to stop the disrespect and all acts of violence against women. However, simply because you disagree with Minister Farrakhan and those of us who follow him on how we choose to achieve that goal, does not give you the right to misrepresent and mischaracterize his words. He does not deserve that. At best, you misunderstood him and at worst, you purposely intended to turn people away from the Minister. I choose to believe the former. I recently watched you (via video) lead a chant at a Bernie Sanders rally, “The People United, Will Never Be Defeated.” You are right, brother. So let us unite under the banner that we all have in common, “Justice.” The Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or color. Do you agree with that? Then, let’s unite!
We invite and encourage all readers to watch and listen to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan’s full interview with the Breakfast Club at https://www.noi.org/breakfastclub2016/.
