With America pained and grieving, it is inevitable that Louis Farrakhan (formerly known as 'Calypso Gene') would enflame our wounds with ignorance and spite. The fact that most Muslims consider him a chattering polytheist and potential chattel does not deter his escapades on behalf of Islamic imperialism, as his recent address at a Chicago 'mosque' showed. Although his 'religion' is a jangling farrago of science fiction and neo-Darwinian racism, Farrakhan zestfully aped the rhetoric of Muslims from Paterson, NJ to Pakistan. The keynote: America's to blame for the September 11 mass murder of American civilians. Consider the following comparison of this leader of the fruits of Islam to statements by the editors of Arafat's official paper, Hamas and their Egyptian allies. The bombings were "the product of despair and hopelessness," said Farrakhan. "Anger and frustration at America's foreign policies turned the love and admiration of peoples around the world to suspicion and mistrust" (S. A. Salamma, al Ahram, Egypt, Sept. 13-19). "A better foreign policy of America would defeat terrorism forever" (Farrakahn). "The USA cannot live in sanguine isolation while a starving and destitute world seethes with anger. The rage of the disenfranchised must come home to roost" (al Ahram editorial, Sept. 13-19). The Arab members of Israel's parliament (yes, the naïve, one-world Israelis let their mortal enemies vote, and shower them with welfare benefits), refused to sign a resolution expressing sympathy for Americans and condemning those who celebrated the attacks (Ha'Aretz, 09-17-01). Instead, Arafat's aide, Ahmed Tibi denounced as "cheap, harmful and perverted" anyone who criticized Arabs who celebrated. That's right; according to him it's not the celebrants of the attacks who are perverted but those who criticize such celebrations. Joining his predictable claims of 'racism' were western leftists twittering about 'hate crimes' against Muslims in America. Hardly any of them ever have forthrightly condemned the demonic hatred for the west, for Christians and Jews that is a staple of Islamic scripture and commentaries. Groups like CAIR (Committee on American-Islamic Relations) have rallied for Hamas: American-Islamic Relations? Here's what some Muslims said in the Hamas weekly paper, published in Gaze under the control of Arafat's militias. "Allah has answered our prayers. The sword of vengeance has reached America and will strike again, and again. America, how corrupt you are! We stand in line begging Allah to make you drink the cup of humiliation for your impudence and arrogance! America, you planted in all men the seedling of hatred for you. Have you asked yourself who the real perpetrator is? America, it is you!" (Dr. Atallah abu Al-Subh, al Risala, 09-13). Is this what compassion means in Islam? As 'Reverend' Farrakhan said, Palestinians "cause children to strap themselves with bombs because they want others to feel what they feel" (CNSnews.com 09-17-01). He seems to agree with Arabs who say (in their own inimitable fashion) that the bombings are just an attempt to reach out and touch someone, to make a point about justice and "disenfranchisement." Like Muslims around the world (and often enough, like Europeans, too), Farrakhan heaped blame on Jews and Israel, guilty of occasionally using their police and soldiers to suppress the murder of Jews in Israel. Arab terrorist attacks happen because "they have sustained injustice since 1948." The creation of a tiny, truncated Israel amid the vast Islamic territories was an injustice. To Farrakhan, as to the Arabs, Israel is too large. So the Arabs "feel pain everyday" while they shoot and incinerate Jewish women and children. Ah, those Jews and their "gutter religion" as Farrakhan said. One understands the handicaps with which Louis struggles. According to his group's cosmology, Allah created blacks on the planet "Shabazz" 65 trillion years ago (give or take a billion; no wonder he's tired). The trouble began about 6000 years ago when an evil magician named "Yakub" created a blue-eyed white monkey while experimenting on black maidens. This is NOI's contribution to the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. His sources and style resemble that of al Risala's editor, Dr. Ghazi Hamad who wrote, "I will not discuss this [the NYC bombings] from an emotional point of view. Hamaed then exposed his dispassionate style by lecturing America about the lessons it should have learned. "Were the eradication of its Marines in Beirut, the destruction of its military HQ at Khobar, of its embassies in Kenya and the attacks in the gulf not enough? The US should have learned the lessons of history, but it listens only to itself. What did the US with its ugly face expect the oppressed and repressed peoples to do?" As Farrakhan declared, "they dance [about the bombings] because they want Americans to feel what they feel." And implicitly, since America has not learned its lesson, Hamad and Farrakhan agree it can expect more attacks. "Reverend" Farrakhan also blamed Christians of bias and terrorism. "McVeigh professed to be a Christian, but the US didn't blame all Christians," he complained in regard to Oklahoma City. Maybe that's because American Christians are not at war with Oklahoma or any other civilians and did not dance, distribute candies and issue incendiary warnings of further bombings after that tragedy. Instead they prayed and did charity and kindness. Two points in closing: Hamas is funded and directed by Iran, supplied by Syria, and under the operational command and direct protection of Yasser Arafat. How long must it be before Iran, Syria and the senior tyrant-murderer in Gaza are put on our hit list, and their States and "Autonomy" attacked? Secondly, Farrakhan has been a public enemy of America for a long time. His speeches now show him giving aid and comfort to our enemies, even parroting their rhetorical jihad that turns into literal jihad. The sooner Congress declares war the better for then there will be additional legal footing for putting a noose around Farrkahan's neck and breaking up his criminal syndicate "Nation." Dr. Eugene Narrett is a writer and teacher in Massachusetts and is the author of Gathered Against Jerusalem: Essays on a False Peace (Dec. 2000).
