I spoke with Rev. Harold Moore, Pastor of Mercy Memorial Baptist Church in Milwaukee yesterday, and asked him about the church involvement and why he would allow a Baptist Church to be a public platform for the Nation of Islam.
Moore said Christianity is inclusive to all. He supports the Millions More Movement, scheduled for October in Washington.
When asked about the Nation of Islam and it's leader Louis Farrakhan (who has blamed America for the 9/11 attacks) he said "No Comment" and refused to answer any futher questions. He then abruptly ended the call.
Original Post:
As the tenth anniversary of the Half-Million (or so) Man March approaches, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan is going to try it again this October, according to remarks he made at Mercy Memorial Baptist Church in Milwaukee yesterday. Don't ask me why the "Nation of Islam" leader was allowed to speak at a Baptist Church. Calls to Rev. Harold Moore have not been returned as of this post.
Milwaukee is the first of several cities Farrakhan is planning to visit to promote the Millions More Movement, scheduled for October in Washington. He described the former and upcoming march as a unifying event for men of all, well at least some faiths and backgrounds. The latest march will include women and homosexuals. Under the color of this unification, however, Farrakhan is promoting once again divisiveness and cultivating hatred.
In a blatantly racist statement made by Farrakhan yesterday, he called on blacks to provide goods and services within their communities “instead of giving their money to merchants of different races.” Not much has changed with Farrakhan, who subtly blamed American foreign policy for the 9/11 attacks while the twin towers were still smoldering.
