Farrakhan: We Must Rise Up and Kill Those Who Kill Us; Stalk Them and Kill Them
Last week in Miami at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Nation of Islam head Louis Farrakhan said he was looking for “10,000 fearless men” to “rise up and kill those who kill us; stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling!”
Farrakhan said “I’m looking for 10,000 in the midst of a million. Ten thousand fearless men who say death is sweeter than continued life under tyranny. Death is sweeter than continuing to live and bury our children while the white folks give our killers hamburgers. Death is sweeter than watching us slaughter each other to the joy of a 400-year-old enemy. Death is sweeter. The Quran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain. Retaliation is a prescription from God to calm the breasts of those whose children have been slain. So if the federal government won’t intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us; stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling!”

“rise up and kill those who kill us"
USA has killed Ms more Muslims than Muslims have killed Americans. Did you miss that clause "who kill us"? Probably, rightwingnuts cant read or think for .
That' really funny coming from you.
He has over 400,000 Twitter followers. He led a march that had an estimated 440,000 people in attendance.
I don't know what your criteria are but for an Islamic leader in the U.S., I'd say he's one of the most well known and followed.
You didn't answer the question.
Sounds like extreme Neighborhood Watch to me... But I'm sure Breitbart hopes its readers will think it means Kill Whitey.
What are your definitions for "mainstream" and "fringe"?
What are yours?
Twitter followers?
lol
I'll go with the SPLC's description of him as an extremist.

This guy has 460K Twitter followers.

He's a leader of a dissident group and only blacks are allowed in his group. So yes, he's a fringe leader and more than 400,000 Muslims in this country.
HE'LL KILL US ALL!!!11!!!!1!!
hitler had a lot of followers and he was an extremist
Yeah, but Twitter followers count more.
One former follower of Farrakhan's was not surprised by the bombastic tone and content of the speech.
"When I was young I used to go listen to Farrakhan and I bought into his racist and hate-filled message," author and radio talk-show host Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson told WND. "To young people who don’t have stable families and fathers around to guide them, Farrakhan’s anger and rhetoric seems like courage and strength. In my anger, I would have killed for Farrakhan. I know what it’s like for these angry black people to be manipulated and convinced to mindlessly follow this black racist."
Peterson said Farrakhan is no different than ISIS calling for an attack on Americans.

mainstream - principle or dominant course
So who would you say is the principle leader of Islam in the U.S.?
you ignore the 440,000 that showed up for his march?
Not him.
Not all religious followers of his.
Who then?
my bad. how many people showed up that don't follow him or support him?
No telling tbh. Several groups were involved.
Dunno, but considering his sect only has about 50k actual members, it isn't Farrakhan.
You write everyone off as extremist so who the is left? At what point do we start to recognize a correlation here?
Farrakhan is a fringe even among black Muslims. He's not even close to be considered mainstream and hasn't been relevant in two decades. His group is considered a splinter group when it comes to black Muslims and doesn't have any relevance when it comes to the Arab/South Asian Muslims.
