Nation of Islam

The refusal to break ties with a chapter led by a Nation of Islam supporter has put the venerable civil rights organization's allies in a dificult position.

"Sweetheart, don't do that," Farrakhan said.

An Akron, Ohio police officer was fired this past week after a lengthy investigation into a Facebook post about killing Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.

Organizers announced they would not be holding a Women's March in January 2019 because they had already invested "so much time, money, energy and effort" into a "March to the Polls" event ahead of November's midterm elections.

Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan posted a clip of a Sunday speech in Detroit, in which he compared Jews to termites and claimed both white and Jewish people are working against him.

He also said Jews in Hollywood force aspiring actors to participate in anal sex.

A photograph of former President Barack Obama with the leader of the Nation of Islam was taken during a Congressional Black Caucus meeting when Obama was a Senator in Illinois.

In the FBI's view, Ali may have posed a threat because he was a potential source of money and charismatic leadership for the civil rights movement.

There are worrying signs but we should judge President-elect Trump on his time in office, writes Jack Rosen.
