NOI Minister Louis Farrakhan Says Moammar Gadhafi "Has Always Been a Friend" & Refuses to Repudiate Actions Against Libyans

Louis Farrakhan says embattled Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi "has always been a friend" and refuses to distance himself from him.

Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan said embattled Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi has always been a friend and he won't distance himself from him, the Chicago Sun Times reports. You see, this is the prime reason why people can't take Farrakhan serious. How can you say this man is your friend and refuse to repudiate the heinous acts of violence he is perpetrating against his own people, who have a right to demonstrate against his dictatorship?

Speaking Sunday at the annual Saviours’ Day convention at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Farrakhan didn’t discuss specifics about the deadly uprisings in Libya.

But the 77-year-old said no leader has been loved by 100 percent of his people and said that if Gadhafi is persecuted for crimes against humanity, the same should apply to former President George W. Bush for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Farrakhan visited Gadhafi in the 1980s and in 1996 accepted a humanitarian award from him. But during his speech Sunday he warned the wave of revolution spreading across the Middle East is coming to the United States.

Speaking to followers who all but filled the 18,000-seat venue, he said, “What you are looking at in Tunisia, in Egypt, in Yemen, in Jordan, in Libya, in Bahrain will soon, very soon be in all the nations of the world . . . and even sooner take place in America.

“What you see happening there, you’d better prepare because it will be coming to your door, America.”

And Farrakhan added, “I hope that President Obama will remember his instructions to all nations — be careful how you attack and kill innocent people who are protesting. Take your own words into your bosom and be reminded when it comes to your home.” Source

I am amazed at the level of hubris Farrakhan displayed when he said former President George Bush should be treated the same way on the international landscape for war crimes. Er, Bush didn't order his military to mow down people demonstrating against his administration. This is more BS coming from the Nation of Islam. When will people wake up to the vile and hateful rhetoric being spewed by Louis Farrakhan?
