NATION OF ISLAM OFFICIAL ON HATE CRIMES COMMISSION

Some are insisting she at least speak out against Farrakhan. From the story: “But black lawmakers said it was unfair to demand Muhammad speak out against her religious leader if other commission members aren't held responsible for the decisions and comments of their religious leaders.

(CBS Chicago) Some recent remarks by Farrakhan, including “These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength…It’s the wicked Jews the false Jews that are promoting Lesbianism, homosexuality. It’s wicked Jews, false Jews that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God, then they call you homophobic.” (ADL)
