One could infer that is what he meant, but they would be wrong. Moses, the so-called "founder" of Judaism, is the most mentioned prohet in the Holy Qur'an. He is honored among the Muslims of the Nation of Islam and his religion is respected. As far as whites being refered to as devils, or anti-christ. What is devil and what is anti-christ? Look at the history of white people in their treatment of the darker people of the planet. Look at the world that has been built on the basis of white supremacy. Whites have not been saints, nor have they practiced pro-christ values when it comes to their treatment of the darker people of the earth, even among their own people. This is why Christ is prophesized to come and destroy this world and to set up His goevernment of peace, wherein we all can live in peace together. So now is Christ anti-white? Read the 8th Chapter of John, wherein Jesus refers to certain Jews as devils; Also Revelations 2:9 where it speaks of a synagogue of Satan. So now is Christ an anti-semite? The greatest ignorance is of that which matters most and that is the Word of God, which, when combined with the right kind of heart, allows one to have the proper view of all things.

He's a trickster. And a cheat. He wanted her to answer it first because he didn't have a clue. He likes her to answer all the questions first. It's ridiculous that this has happened. And that the media makes nothing of it. I'm sure they've noticed. She answered the Russian President questions (becaue she is brilliant) and his reply - AS ALWAYS - was " I think Hillaary's description is accurate". He said "think" in case later she was wrong on anything and he could point out he only said "think". This man is total deception. Let's not confuse clever and sly with smart. Everywhere he does this. Because he copies everyones answers and everyone's voice. HE'S A CHEAT EXAMPLES He quotes MLK, JFK, JEFFERSON, DUVAL PATRICK. He presents their great speeches and "acts" like he said them - wrote them - like he is these people. And he's got an adoring idiot crowd sucking it up. His favorite voice at debates is Hillary's!!! Well, we're not flattered. We can see you. This man is a total fake. And he is getting away with it. No, worse, he's getting away with cheating - to get to the highest office in this great country. If you have the debates recorded - go watch them over. Count how many times he just takes Hillary's answer. After she's answered "Hillary and I agree on this", "This is where Hillary and I agree", "Hillary said that perfectly and I agree with her". Then he describes the question that was asked, why it's a problem and NOTHING ELSE. Fast talk, double talk. Media fools!!!!!!!!!!! He's got you under his thumb. He thinks you are his fools - and you are!!! Join the float. Join the parade. Wow. What idiots. Someone needs to peel the mask off this man. He's running for President of he United States of America. And he's a cheat. An imposter. He's getting caught and he's being seen. He doesn't like it. I do. By the way - here is a truly inspiring video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9z-Aatd0wA&NR=1 Did you see Obama look right over to Hillary when the Russian President question was asked?

It is absolutely AMAZING that this 24-year-old quote made its way into this debate. Is the press THAT desparate for a story against Obama? 3) For the record (which has been around for quite some time): The exact 1984 quote was this: "...America and England and the nations backed Israel's existence. Therefore when you aid and abet someone in a criminal conspiracy, you are a part of that criminal conspiracy. So America and England and the nations are criminals in the sight of almighty God. Now, that nation of Israel, never has had any peace in forty years and she will never have any peace because there can never be any peace structured on injustice, thievery, lying and deceit and using the name of God to shield your dirty religion under His holy and righteous name." Is Farrakhan saying there should be no state of Israel? No. He has repeatedly said that only the injustice toward the Palestinians need be removed, with a Palestinian state living side-by-side with Israel. Farrakhan has struck up an association with a group of fundamentalist rabbis from Brooklyn. The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which has led the charge against the Nation of Islam over the last two decades, has actually criticized Farrakhan for meeting with these rabbis as if he can only be considered "pro-Semitic" if he is accepted by the right kind of Jews. http://wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=20865 http://www.polyconomics.com/searchbase/03-08-00.html 1) Minister Farrakhan did NOT endorse Obama.

Over the years, he has compiled an awesome record of offensive statements, even denigrating the Holocaust by falsely attributing it to Jewish cooperation with Hitler "They helped him get the Third Reich on the road." His history is a rancid stew of lies. Any praise of Farrakhan heightens the prestige of the leader of the Nation of Islam. His anti-Semitism and particularly his false insistence that Jews have played an inordinate role in victimizing African Americans. Farrakhan's dream has vilified whites and singled out Jews to blame for crimes large and small, either committed by others as well or not at all. (A dominant role in the slave trade, for instance.) He has talked of Jewish conspiracies to set a media line for the whole nation. He has reviled Jews in a manner that brings Hitler to mind. And yet Wright heaped praise on Farrakhan. According to Trumpet, he applauded his "depth of analysis when it comes to the racial ills of this nation." He praised "his integrity and honesty." He called him "an unforgettable force, a catalyst for change and a religious leader who is sincere about his faith and his purpose."
