Louis Farrakhan
By Jay Rogers
Published April 7, 2008
Louis Farrakhan is known by his followers as being “a better orator than Martin Luther King Jr., a better author than Norman Mailer, a better diplomat than Henry Kissinger, and more handsome than Muhammad Ali.” Let’s take a look at one the best known and most articulate Black Muslims in America and his ideology.
According to founder Wallace D. Fard Muhammad, the Muslim Cult of Islam started in July 4, 1930. Ford proclaimed he was sent to wake “the black nation to the full range of the black man’s possibilities in a world temporarily dominated by the blue-eyed devils.” He taught that the African American culture was unique and separate from that of “the Caucasian devils.”
The Muslim Cult of Islam lasted almost four years under the leadership of Fard until his departure in 1933. According to his son’s mother, Hazel Barton, he was never to be seen or heard from again.
Elijah Poole, Fard’s first assistant and one of his most loyal followers, told members of the Cult that Fard “had returned to Allah” and that Poole had been selected to succeed him. He changed his name to Elijah Muhammad and moved the sect, now called the Nation of Islam, to Michigan and then to Chicago: the “New Mecca.”
Elijah Muhammad (Poole) continued the same hard line of dialogue as his predecessor. He taught that blacks were the “original people” and whites were “devils,” an “artificial mutation” created by an evil scientist.
Elijah was honored at the Black Muslim Annual Convention in Chicago on February 25, 1962. The late America Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell said, “Elijah Muhammad is the Adolf Hilter of the black man.”
Louis Eugene Wolcott, also known as “Calypso Gene,” an inspiring singer and songwriter with a “smooth charismatic stage presence” and a voice that rivaled that of the legendary Harry Belfonte, was an entertainer insured of a promising and successful career. Wolcott’s childhood experience of open rejection of African Americans in a neighborhood predominantly Jewish at the time, coupled with the racial discrimination of the past, fueled his disdain for whites and the Jewish community.
In 1955, Wolcott accepted a friend’s invitation to a rally given by Elijah Muhammad’s organization. This event would change him from an inspiring singer into devoted follower of Elijah. He told an associate that the rally resulted in his “rebirth” experience.
Wolcott changed his name to “Louis X” according to Black Muslim tradition, and later to Louis Farrakhan. The “X” denoted “unknown,” indicating that the true heritage of African Americans was stolen during the slave trade.
Farrakhan became a member of the Nation of Islam under the leadership of Malcolm X in 1955. Louis worked diligently learning the teachings of Elijah Muhammad and eventually moved up into ranks of leadership in the movement. He eventually became “the Honorable Elijah Muhammad’s national spokesman.”
As head of the Harlem Mosque from 1965 to 1975, he became well known in the community. His messages at rallies across America conveyed African American separatism, economic rebirth and a continual attack of whites and Jews.
In 1977, two years after the death of Elijah Muhammad, Farrakhan formed his own sect patterned after the Nation of Islam. White supremacists have found common ground with Louis’ desire for separate territories for African Americans and whites. Their solidarity has grown stronger around their disdain for the Jewish community.
Farrakhan continues today with recruitment of youth gang members, prison inmates, college educated youth and the African American middle-class with the same message that many critics term as “words of hate and racism.” In a speech given March 11, 1984, Farrakhan proclaimed, “Some white people are going to live …. but (God) don’t want them living with us. He doesn’t want us mixing ourselves up with the slavemaster’s children, whose time of doom has arrived.”

Its so sad that you would distort the teachings in such a way. You don’t offer any citations of your declarations which in and of it’s self is irresponsible. I will pray for you. May Allah bless you with the light of understanding.

As a true African and a Humanist, I do oppose to the teachings of the Nation of Islam, under Mr L .Farrakhan. Hate preachings against any religion, race, country etc is unacceptable in our civilise world. Such teachings are resposible for the many tribal and religious wars in Africa. I strongly believe that the purpose of religion is to promote peace and harmony. Mr L. Farrakhan like all other hate preachers around the world, are using religion as a smoke screen to further their political ambitions. Why hide behind religion, surely, you are not doing God’s work or else,you’ll devote your ministry in promoting peace and understanding amongst people, rather than brain washing young guys into becoming bitter and hateful to law abiding citizens. See what’s going on in India at the minute- Islamic terrorists killing innocent people- that’s is surely the work of the Devil not God Almighty. Shame on you Mr L. Farrakhan. You should teach African Americans to love one another and everyone else. To be proud being black and to better themselves in every ways. Segregation and slavery and discrimination are all history now. African Americans should be one and not divided, one as American- but all you do is to divide us along religious line. I am too intelligent to buy your hateful and spiteful messages shame on you ok. Thank God the victory of President-elect Obama has prove to you and reverend Jerry Miya and all hate preachers that Americans have come a long way as far as racism is concern. Martin Luther King Junior will forever remain bigger than all of you hate preachers because his message was one of hope and optimism and not hate and negativity like yours.

Well the author if one should call him thus just copied common facts or lies abundant in Internet, but to dismiss Minister Farrakhan as just a hate preacher is stupid and extremely ignorant view, yes occasions his choice of words are poor. But Minister Farrakhan has helped gang members go back to school and become useful to the society, areas where Mr Farrakhan and his organization operates are mostly drug free and violent free zone. See it is funny how people pass judgement knowing nothing on the stuff they are talking about. Yes I don’t want black man going around daily shouting how white man mistreated him, or is it wise to doubt the honesty of such claim./p>

I want to know what country these so-called Afro-Americans live in that say Farrakhan is hate preaching.The truth is the truth, and it will con’t to be the truth until it isn’t anymore.The blinde will use the Obama arguement,others will wait on some magical made up myth to save them.You have your excuses for being scary.But life is about progression,and as black people we must learn the truth and how to look two ways at one time.Racism still exist in America,it’s just wrapped up in a more sophisticated way(criminal justice system, u.s. constitution).You have half that is scared of equality b/c it puts everybody in their God given place,and the other half that’s just too cowardly to demand and sacrifice for it.The truth is Minister Farrakhan speaks the truth about the blue-eyed terror and the negroes who love them and embrace their religion and they can’t take it.I hate the truth b/c it tells of the treatment of my people,but I elect to learn from it and to educate myself on the thigs in life rather than turning my cheek and kissing the hand that would slap me the first chance it got.That’s not hate preaching, that’s LOVE preaching.But I guess you have to hate being black now to get to white heaven later.Do the research on your own faith, you sound the way you look speaking on matters you have no knowledge or understanding of.But of course,honesty has never been a priority amongst you people.

We are all prisoners of our own perceptions.
Your actions in life should mirror the mind of God but we tend to think that we know better than God and we lean on our own understanding instead of the mind of God which only comes through study of the Word of God. Study produces doctrine in the soul. Then comes true discernment. You will then be able to see through the lies and deceit that permiate this planet.
God angers, God judges, God punishes, God smiles, God loves, God rewards, justly and perfectly.
The eye for an eye age is long past. We must all work toward the new age, forgiveness. For we have all sinned and fallen short. Certainly, forgiveness is difficult and foreign to our SIN nature, but we must all try to Forgive. For only if we forgive, can our Father in Heaven forgive us.

In the Days of These Kings (Book)
Perfect-bound Paperback — 740 pages
The Book of Daniel in Preterist Perspective
“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever” (Daniel 2:44).
The overarching message of Daniel is that Jesus the Messiah is even now ruling over the nations. He is the King of kings. Daniel tells us that Messiah’s kingdom will advance in the whole world from “generation to generation” (Daniel 4:4,34). Christ’s dominion is “given to the people of the saints of the most High” (Daniel 7:22). Our purpose then is to see “all people, nations, and languages … serve and obey him” (Daniel 7:14,27).
This comprehensive work offers a fascinating look at the book of Daniel in preterist perspective. Great attention is paid to the writings of ancient and modern historians and scholars to connect the dots and demonstrate the continuity of Daniel’s prophecy with all of Scripture.

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
“Give me liberty or give me death!”
Patrick Henry’s famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders’ passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom’s singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that “where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty” (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features “Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty” along with “Dawn’s Early Light: A Brief History of America’s Christian Foundations.” Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg’s controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney’s campaign for president.

The United States of America 2.0: The Great Reset (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 40 pages of dynamite!
Revival, Resistance, Reformation, Revolution
An Introduction to the Doctrines of Interposition and Nullification
In 1776, a short time after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were assigned to design an official seal for the United States of America. Their proposed motto was Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God. America owes its existence to centuries of Christian political philosophy. Our nation provided a model for liberty copied by nations the world over.
By the 21st century, we need a “Puritan Storm” to sweep away the Hegelian notion that the state is “God walking on earth.” We need revival and reformation in full force to vanquish the problems that plague us as a nation — from government controlled healthcare — to abortion on demand — to same sex “marriage.” This booklet gives a primer on our founders’ Christian idea of government and examines how the doctrine of nullification was woven into the Constitution as a safeguard against federal tyranny. It concludes with the history and theology of civil resistance. A Second American Revolution is coming with the Word of God growing mightily and prevailing! (Acts 19:20).

The Silent Scream (DVD) Eight Languages
“When the lives of the unborn are snuffed out, they often feel pain, pain that is long and agonizing.” – President Ronald Reagan to National Religious Broadcasters Convention, January 1981
Ronald Reagan became convinced of this as a result of watching The Silent Scream – a movie he considered so powerful and convicting that he screened it at the White House.
The modern technology of real-time ultrasound now reveals the actual responses of a 12-week old fetus to being aborted. As the unborn child attempts to escape the abortionist’s suction curette, her motions can be seen to become desperately agitated and her heart rate doubles. Her mouth opens – as if to scream – but no sound can come out. Her scream doesn’t have to remain silent, however … not if you will become her voice. This newly re-mastered version features eight language tracks and two bonus videos.
“… a high technology “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” arousing public opinion just as Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 antislavery novel ignited the abolitionist movement.” – Sen. Gordon Humphrey, Time Magazine
Languages: English, Spanish, French, South Korean, Chinese, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese

I thought this was a one sided article meant to present the author’s view point that Minister Farrakhan, His teacher and The Nation of Islam are some kind of crazed black “cult” that doesn’t have a message good for black people and humanity.
I wasn’t attracted to this man and the movement based any of the ideas this article tries to present. I saw the movement as a way to better myself, family and community. I would suggest you study your material better before you write.Brother Mustafaa
