Calling
this weekend's earthquake in Chile a divine precursor to his planned
speech, controversial Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan
predicted on Sunday that America will face its own imminent disaster
and must prepare.
Delivering a message titled "The Time and What Must Be Done," Farrakhan addressed thousands at http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/neighborhoods.html?region=1435491 - Chicago 's
United Center as part of an annual celebration of Saviours' Day,
marking the birth of W. Fard Muhammad, who founded the faith 80 years
ago.
"It's not an accident that a great earthquake took place in Chile,"
Farrakhan, 76, said an hour into his three-hour address. "It was a
precipitate of what I have to tell you today of what's coming to
America. You will not escape."
"I will speak to the kings and rulers of the world. I will speak to
the pope and the religious leaders because you have to know that your
time has come," he said. "I desire to guide you and warn you of things
that are coming that you must try to prepare yourselves for because we
are absolutely living in the change of worlds."
Though some of Farrakhan's past remarks have been labeled
anti-Semitic and racist, his supporters say he has been misunderstood
and misrepresented by the media. In his speech on Sunday, he recounted
events in the 1980s where he was barred from hotels and other
destinations after declaring support for Libya, implicated at the time
in acts of state-sponsored terrorism. On Sunday, he blamed the
international cold shoulder on the "reach of the Zionists."
Farrakhan also pointed out that dignitaries in many countries
besides the U.S. treat him like royalty. "I can't even get a meeting
with a congressperson if a white man's watching," he said to thunderous
applause.
The keynote address capped a weekend of workshops focused on
self-improvement, community service and how to provide assistance to
Haiti.
Citing numerous texts including the Quran, Bible and a book by
Scientology's founder L. Ron Hubbard, Farrakhan expressed concern for
President Barack Obama's life, called for the return of Jean-Bertrand
Aristide, the former Haitian president now in exile, and described a
spiritual experience in 1981 in which he ascended into a flying saucer
and heard the voice of Elijah Muhammad predicting historical events
that did come to pass.
"Some people think I'm a prophet," Farrakhan said. "But I have to
say, the word 'prophet' is too cheap a word. Prophets come in the
absence of God like moonlight comes in the absence of the sun. I come
to fulfill that which you have read from the prophets."
