Farrakhan's Follies:, Nation of Islam, reparations and ... da Jews

Thanks, Peter Herz, for your kind positivity. Julie from Austin, I fully realize the Nation of Islam is a cult, relating to Islam, somewhat as Jews for Jesus adherents claim they practise Judaism. I merely used Farrakhan's ludicrous letter to point to the heavy historical involvement of Muslims to the slave trade, and the absurdity of this man asking reparations from the Jews, when the group he represents claims at one and the same time to be part of Islam. I loved the letter from the fellow in Ghana, (kudos!) and appreciate the contributions of various other participants on this site., with repeated thanks to Daniel Pipes. Once again, thank you
