The Million Man March was an event for people of all faiths:

“Allah” is the Arabic word for God, used both in the Koran and in Arabic translations of the Bible:


While there is indeed violence in the Koran, there’s more violence in the Bible:


The African Ancestors of Jesus

What point are you trying to make to us?

The Million Man March was an important historical and inter-faith event. I respect Farrakhan as a civil rights leader, if not as a religious leader.

Is he an antisemite or just a critic of the Israeli government's policies?

Nation of Islam's theology is steeped in anti-Semitism.

Is he lying when he claims to have Jewish ancestry? Wouldn't that make him a self-hating Jew?

If what you are saying is true, why do black civil rights organizations and the Congressional Black Caucus meet with him and have him speak at their events?

He’s famous. And can draw a crowd.

We shouldn't forget that the Million Man March was a positive and uplifting inter-faith event that had a positive impact on many people's lives.

Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?

1 Corinthians 8:2-3
Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn’t really know very much. But the person who loves God is the one whom God recognizes.

James 4:12
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

Muslims clearly don't worship Belial or any pagan deity.

“Allah” is the Arabic word for God, not Satan, used both in the Koran and in Arabic translations of the Bible:

Brother, I used to be a Muslim. The Allah of Islam and of the Quran is not God, the Father.

I might agree with that, but my respect for Louis Farrakhan is as a civil rights leader, not a religious leader.

Nation of Islam is listed at the Southern Poverty Law Center as problematic:

Nation of Islam

Racist, anti-semitic, and homophobic.

African American politicians and community leaders outrage at bigotry and injustice can be just as selective as any anybody else, when it is convenient.

I wish the Congressional Black Caucas would find better friends.

The SPLC, in refusing to denounce Antifa, doesn't have much credibility with me.

Antifa are political extremists, not a hate group. SPLC is focused on hate groups as their mission.

Antifa members hate all Republicans and targeted people just for wearing Trump hats or supporting Trump. This was in the news.

The SPLC focuses on hatred based on intrinsic characteristics, like race. Political affiliation is not an intrinsic characteristic.

In his first interview with Phil Donahue, Louis Farrakhan answered the accusation of antisemitism, as well as other criticisms:


I respect Farrakhan as a civil rights leader, if not as a religious leader, as does black civil rights organizations and political organizations.

Something that has always bothered me about Christian Zionists is that they turn the other way at the sufferings of Palestinian Christians.

Louis Farrakhan might have more of a heart for Palestinian Christians than they do. Opposing the Israeli government's policies doesn't make one an antisemite.
