Rresponse to Farrakhan Demands Reparations from Jews

I would like to be able to dismiss Farrakhan as just another "crackpot" after reading his damning and abusive pieces. Plain old smuttiness, shmutz, or garbage! Take your pick! However, I think that it is more important to "call a spade, a spade," and to see the blackmail for what it is. (No pun intended here at all!) His inherent blackmail in his letter to Jews of high profile is so loaded with fabrication that even his use of the word, "dialogue" loses all meaning in the entire context of his writing.

Perhaps, it would be relevant to compose an answer to him by dissecting each of his charges, including his misunderstanding of what the Messiah should be representing and will do when the world will be ready to receive Him. The dissection would most like serve the purpose of giving some of us a real handle on the man, his ideology, his associates and movement. Yet, he is so thick-skulled that our words of truth could not even penetrate his brain, let alone reach his heart of stone. He reminds me of some of the worst and wicked enemies cited by King David in Psalms. My image of Farrrakhan is the same that it was when I wrote about him fourteen years ago; and he has not changed his spots at all.

Thank you very much, Daniel Pipes, for your marvelous efforts in exposing this man.
