Farrakhan: Jews Own Media, 'Zionists' Pushing U.S. Into Iran War How To Better Understand
Tuesday, February 28, 2012
Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan decried what he called Jewish control of the media and accused “Zionists” of trying to push America into war with Iran.
Farrakhan spoke for three hours Sunday before a crowd of thousands at the 82nd annual Saviors’ Day celebration in Chicago.
In his address, along with the accusation about a war with Iran, Farrakhan asserted that Jews were responsible for a controversial 2008 cover of The New Yorker that depicted President Obama in Muslim garb, according to the Religion News Service.
“I’m not anti-Semitic, I’m just telling the truth,” he said. He also said that “In 100 years, they control movies, television, recording, publishing, commerce, radio, they own it all.”
"Jewish people were not the origin of Hollywood," he added, "but they took it over."

Irony is the Nation of Islam is not taken seriously by mainstream Muslims to begin with. It's almost comical how the NOI seems to act as mouthpiece for everything Muslim, regardless of sect! From the most secular Sunni (Ghadafi in Libya) to the most extreme Shiites (Iran), Farrakhan always touts how right they are and how wrong everyone else is. My question is, what does he think the mullahs of Iran think of the NOI cult? That's all it is. I read Malcolm X's bio and he gives an explanation of NOI beliefs and they are jaw-dropping in their insanity!
