		<description>The minister is THE leader for the world today because he is fulfilling prophecy. Check out the book of Acts. If you read Genesis 15:13-15 the promise to Abraham is talking about us, who were brought here in 1555 as slaves. Four hundred years later 1955, Min.Farrakhan joins the NOI. Forty yrs. later he calls Day of Atonement 1995(To God Be The Glory). We then enter the book of Exodus(Come out of her my people, let my people go). Who the minister represents and the work that he is doing is all in both Bible &amp; Qur&#039;an. He represent grace and the final warner before that great and dreadful day. So he is THE one in our midst today based on the scriptures. Peace.</description>

		<description>That is why the Millions More Movement LOC&#039;s are meeting weekly, quietly all across this country instituting the very things you are critizing.



Why don&#039;t you go to Millionsmoremovement.com and find one located in your area and join so that you can become a part of the solution. A wise one don&#039;t give away every detail publicly to there eenemy about how they are trying to break free form them. Think about it for a minute. Go to one of the meetings in your area and find out what is really going on, then come back and report. Ok? Have a blessed day. Majidah</description>

		<description>When you spoke about education and the lack of introspection by the Black Community, you struck a chord with me.  I have really been very disappointed at the Black Leadership (or lack thereof) in the past 20 years.  After the death of MLK there has been a vacuum of progressive thought and a true lack of introspection on our part.



I&#039;ve moved on from what White people have done to us, I don&#039;t deny that it happened, but there ain&#039;t a darn thing we can do to change it (or its affects).  I&#039;ve moved on from what the US (or various state) governments will do for us.  The well is running dry on that one and there is not going to be any NEW entitlements that are race- or quota-based in our lifetimes.



It leads us back to us.  Take education.  If you live in a predominantly Black community, you can be sure that test scores and grades (and more than likely property values) are going to significantly lag behind non-Black communities with similar economic demographics.



You will probably find school systems that have the same monetary resources, but you will see a lack of parental involvement.  Ask ANY educator and they will tell you that the leading indicator for quality schools and education hinge on the involvement of parents.  I&#039;ve written a post entitled &lt;a href=&quot;http://pajoyner.blogspot.com/2006/03/un-education-of-black-community_07.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Un-Education of the Black Community&lt;/a&gt;.  There are some simple truths that are continuing to hold us back and until we face up to them and until we WORK to correct them, our situation will continue to worsen.



As soon as Farrakhan and people like him begin to complain about White America, I have a tendency to tune them out and move on.</description>

		<description>Sorry it took so long to get back to you and to respond to your inquiry.  To provide a copy of the numerous documents that have been written and implemented as policy is somewhat difficult.  However, I will try to lead you in the best direction. First, there was a document written years ago called the King Alfred Plan.  I have a copy of this plan and reviewed it with my own eyes. There are persons around the country who have done seminars on this very document that calls for the reduction of the black and minority populations in America.  Furthermore, there is a government document that is now available through the freedom of informantion act called the National Security Study Memorandum 200 written during the Nixon Administration and the following two Ford and Carter Administrations.  Henry Kissinger and Zbeinew Bresinski wrote about population control throughout the world.  You can go to a search engine and find the document. You asked what has the Nation of Islam provided the black community in tangible economic progression.  Well brother we have our farm in Georgia that is coming along just fine and producing food for our people.  The NOI as an entity does not have many businesses but as individual Believers we have plenty.  We are inspired by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to go out and do for self.  The Nation has to be very careful trying to operate businesses because we have enemies that can use that against us and all the agents that are honeycombed throughout looking for ways to bring us down. I don&#039;t know what city you live in but I recommend that you one day visit one of our Mosques located in your city to find out what we are doing.  Peace!</description>

		<description>Mabe you should research a subject before you past judgement. his ministry has been uplifting people for a long time and they have been very sucessful in setting up a university asnd other businesses for the black community. For you to make that comment shows you are not well informed and donot participate in much positive things for your community. If you joined with the Minister and studied some of his and Elijah Muhhamads teachings you would see first hand that he does more thantalk about our situation. It is you people who listen to him speak and enjoy his truthfullness ,but instead of joining with him you start listening to his critics and you will bow down to the powers that be and reject him while they are the ones who are destroying our communities.</description>

		<description>Sorry, I missed some earlier posts. I have seen a Sister Clara Muhammed school in my community. Don&#039;t know much about the University. Any notable alumnus?



I have no doubt that the schools are successful. Self disipline is an essential ingredient. I believe we can all attest that the followers of Minister Farrakan are highly disiplined. THIS IS GOOD!</description>

		<description>Mr. Muhammad

I am happy to see that you are weighing in as a follower of Minister Farrakhan, an I assume a Moslem/Muslim.



Would you please provide a copy of this plan that you have referenced for us bloggers to inspect. I am not a conspiracy theorist. And when one makes statements like that I need to see the proof.



Additionally, with the exception of the MMM and MWM (which I attended), what has the Nation of Islam done in terms of economic development within the black community. Any schools (religious or not), any small businesses, any micro-finance lending, any affordable housing development,any vocational training facilities or colleges for black children to prepare to compete in the workforce. Are your facilities open to Muslims/ Moslems and non-practictioners of Islam?



Assuming that the any of the above mentioned exists as a none profit entities; where can I access Annual Reports etc. I would love to know the various &quot;ministries&quot; of your organization.



Frankly, I just don&#039;t know enough. I assess an individual by what he does; not what he says.

I know that the Nation has done work in prisons. Can you tell me some more about that? Any statistics on recitivism rates?



I believe the community needs answers to these questions to have a better appreciation.



Blessings to you!</description>

		<description>Dear Brother Duane, peace and blessings be with you and your family. You asked the question of what the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan has done for the black community. Very good question.  See brother you are looking for tangible outcomes(which there are)but I believe most of our people miss the spiritual blessings that our big brother provides. Let me first say that as a tangible asset he has brought over a million black men together that the world said couldn&#039;t be done. But deeper than what you probably viewed of the Millions Man March was that the government of America was exihibiting black people here in America all over the world as a inferior, decadent, worthless people who could be terminated and there would not be a cry from the rest of the world about our genocide.  Did you know that a plan was formed to do just that?  What the MMM showed the world was the blackman in a very different light. It foiled or delayed their plan to rid the world of us.  However, that plan is back on track because we have succumbed back into a state of ignorance as a whole. Furthermore, we believe that Minister Farrakhan is fulfilling the deeds of what is said of Jesus in the Gospels.  Now whether you accept that or not is not my concern. During the MMM the Minister asked for us to go back to our communities and make them right.  Black adoption went up, crime went down, more blackmen joined organizations, churches and Mosques because of their conviction of that day.  Minister Farrakhan is a guide. He is a guide from the Creator of all the boundless universe. He can only lead the horse(black people) to the water, he can&#039;t make the horse(black people)drink it. The question is now, what are you and others going to do about it?  What responsibilities are we going to take to make our communities better?</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not a follower of the Nation  of Islam and thus Minister Farrakhan, but I do respect him tremendously as a leader.  He stands behind principles and apparently adheres to them.  When have you ever heard his name attached to a scandal or illicit relationship? He has always stood by his people.  I don&#039;t know too many (if any) who can claim this.</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;As a leader, he is the very definition. He takes a path that no other so called leader would dare to travel, the path of uncompromising truth. He continues to lead the way for blacks and whites, Muslims and Christians...&lt;/em&gt;



Are we talking about &lt;em&gt;The Wiz &lt;/em&gt;here or a man that walks and breathes just like the rest of us?



&lt;em&gt;intellectual cowards like yourself who cant draw a fly, sit back and analyze and criticize his works,while you cant draw a fly or a gnat to do anything. Leave Minister Farrakhan alone, and see what you can do to be more like him!&lt;/em&gt;



Have we met? Let me answer that for you...



NO!



Why would I want to be like someone whose followers will not factually define who he is or what he has done?



Folks, notice who is calling names here. I&#039;ve been very poilite and respectful and asked some simple questions--the same questions we would ask white folk who claim to have our interest at heart. Unless this means...no, it can&#039;t be....we have &lt;strong&gt;lower &lt;/strong&gt;standards for those we call &quot;our leaders&quot;.



Another one sings his praises while avoiding the question.



What I am asking here is simple: &lt;strong&gt;Convince me (a non-follower of Farrakhan) that I should inspire to be like him. The fact that some of you are offended doesn&#039;t encourge me to know more.&lt;/strong&gt;</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>As a leader, he is the very definition. He takes a path that no other so called leader would dare to travel, the path of uncompromising truth. He continues to lead the way for blacks and whites, Muslims and Christians&#8230;</em></p>
<p>Are we talking about <em>The Wiz </em>here or a man that walks and breathes just like the rest of us?</p>
<p><em>intellectual cowards like yourself who cant draw a fly, sit back and analyze and criticize his works,while you cant draw a fly or a gnat to do anything. Leave Minister Farrakhan alone, and see what you can do to be more like him!</em></p>
<p>Have we met? Let me answer that for you&#8230;</p>
<p>NO!</p>
<p>Why would I want to be like someone whose followers will not factually define who he is or what he has done?</p>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;The students taught in those systems are the best and brightest.&lt;/i&gt;



Is this your opinion or is there an independent source to prove what you are saying?









&lt;i&gt;For example, look at the rate of divorce for AfricanAmerican Muslims compared to the Christian population.&lt;/i&gt;



What is it? Where can we find such information?



And as far as your suggestion to me goes, try answering the question &lt;strong&gt;straight up &lt;/strong&gt;before you put yourself in the untouchable category.</description>

		<description>You, dear brother, have obviously not read &quot;Torchlight For America&quot; and &quot;The National Agenda&quot;.  Where Minister Farrakhan lays out in detail how we can get out of this mess our slavemasters and our own self-hate has created.  As a leader, he is the very definition.  He takes a path that no other so called leader would dare to travel, the path of uncompromising truth.  He continues to lead the way for blacks and whites, Muslims and Christians all the while intellectual cowards like yourself who cant draw a fly, sit back and analyze and criticize his works,while you cant draw a fly or a gnat to do anything.  Leave Minister Farrakhan alone, and see what you can do to be more like him!



Peace</description>

		<description>I am always suprised by the lack of uninformed opinions expressed by bloggers.  Please do some research before you go off making criticisms.



The Muhammad University of Islam and Sister Clara Muhammads and other Islamic schools set up by African-Americans have a thirty year track record.  The Minister has been instrumental in all of these institutions.  The students taught in those systems are the best and brightest.  I have come across many people from various ethnics groups praising the students from those schools.



For example, look at the rate of divorce for AfricanAmerican Muslims compared to the Christian population.  Compare many issues and areas from political affiliation to musical tastes and become better informed.</description>

		<description>Greetings Beloved;

I greet you in the name of the Most High God over and above all.

I have been a student of the movement and black progression for 46 years and we are at a time in the history of mankind that cries out for understanding and being able to discern the times in which we live.

I love the Minister Farakhan if for no other reason than he has the courage of his convictions.

I am a Christian brother here in the bible belt and a member of the most talked about church in Dallas to which i will leave nameless for the benifit of this dialouge.

I have taken issue with these pastors and Bishops who sell out the people for political conections and recognition and these tactics are no more than Plantation Politics desighned to keep the people oppressed.</description>

		<description>George,



With all due respect, could you please break it down in &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;practical &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;terms what you are saying? All I have been asking here is for people to substantiate the claim that he is a leader in the black community. Why is this so hard? When it comes to whining and complaining about what the government has not done for black folks, we can be very detailed and straight forward. For Farrakhan? Well according to you, we need to &lt;em&gt;read &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;study &lt;/em&gt;to understand the depth of his greatness. He is a man just like anybody else.

So again I ask the question &quot;What has he done for the black race that would qualify him as &#039;person of the year&#039; or leader in the black community?&quot;

I pose the same question to those outside the NOI (Christian leaders, politicans)so please don&#039;t get the impression that Farrakhan is being &quot;picked on.&quot;</description>

		<description>If no one gets up over the topic concerning accountablity and education, I am sure you can understand. Just look around at the State of Black Americans 50 year after school intergration. The state hasn&#039;t change yet worst. I hope the civil rights promoters are smiling at what happen since and before intergration. The leaders of the black people has given us social programs, low wage jobs and poor education, while they enjoy living with the oppressor. Shame on them and us.</description>

		<description>Minister Farrakhans message is broad when he delivers it. One has to first hear with a pure heart and then research what has been said. One must study. No one should take what someone says at face value. The problem is, we as a people have been made lazy and we do not want to study. We are emotional and not fact seekers. The program of the Nation of Islam under the direction of Minister Farrakhan is the medicine for all of our problem and time will prove this stand. Peace.</description>
