Louis Farrakhan (born Louis X; 11 May 1933) is the leader of the Nation of Islam movement. He is one of the critics of the warmongering policies of the United States in the region and has spoken repeatedly at various gatherings and even during various trips about the freedom of nations, and is a critic of the injustices of colonialist governments and an anti-Zionist activist. He is the leader of the Nation of Islam movement in America.
Critic of U.S. Policies
He is a religious and social leader in the African American community who has criticized U.S. government policies on numerous occasions. He has been widely praised and sometimes criticized. Louis Farrakhan separated from him in 1978 in opposition to the flow of the son of Elijah Muhammad. In Atlanta, most Muslims follow Wallace (heir) Deen Muhammad, son of Elijah Muhammad, who led the Nation of Islam party for forty years until his death in 1975 CE. Since his father's death, Deen Muhammad has warned Muslims against racist theories and made them moderate Muslims, and his approach has been interpreted as a fundamental change among American Muslims. Deen Muhammad believes he has a following between 100 to 250 thousand people. A professor of religious sciences at Vassar College believes that Deen Muhammad's followers, just as they follow his religious commands, do not support his political fatwas.
Saviour's Day Speech, Chicago, 25 February 1990
"And as it is written you treat me, but remember I warned you that God will punish you. You are the deceitful devils of the American people. You have sucked their blood. You are not real Jews, those who are not real Jews. You are the synagogue of Satan and you have wrapped your tentacles around the U.S. government and are deceiving this nation and sending it to hell. But I warn you in the name of God, it would be wise to leave me alone. But if you decide to crucify me, know that God will crucify you."
26 February Chicago Speech
Louis Farrakhan in the Saviour's Day speech on 26 February 2006 stated in the city of Chicago: ... and indeed Christians by exploiting your lack of knowledge and insight into that evil regime Israel ... Can this be the Holy Land and you have gay parades and want to allow a gay parade to be held in Jerusalem because no prophet has prohibited this behavior. How can that Israel how can Jerusalem with people Secular who run the Holy Land, while it should be saints who run the Holy Land. That land will be purified with blood!"
Letter to Jewish Leaders and the Southern Poverty Law Center
We can now provide a real and undeniable report of our black and white relations to the people and the world. These scholars, Rabbis and historians [who studied the Nation of Islam] have given us undeniable records of anti-black behavior by Jews, starting with the horror of the Atlantic slave trade, slavery on plantations, Jim Crow, sharecropping, the work of the North and South movement, unions and the abuse of our people that continues to this moment."
New York Times Article on Louis Farrakhan
Mr. Louis Farrakhan is a religious fundamentalist whose group has been condemned by the Southern Poverty Law Center in the South, opposes the legitimacy of the government of Israel and his political positions on this country often spill over into bigoted speech about Jews, for which reason many government officials have refrained from associating with him. Mr. Farrakhan has denied anti-Semitism and even said that his father may have been Jewish.[1]
Warith Deen Mohammed, unlike Louis Farrakhan, does not expose the anti-Jewish aspects of the Nation of Islam party's thoughts. The method and conduct of Louis Farrakhan and Deen Muhammad are very different from each other. The two rarely face each other. Farrakhan moves with protection and has focused all his attention on the organization. He lives in the magnificent house of His Excellency Muhammad in Chicago. But Deen Muhammad usually travels alone and carries his own briefcase. He does not believe in direct supervision of his supporters' affairs and says: "I am not opposed to leadership, but I am opposed to dictatorship." At the funeral of Yusuf Shah, one of the Imams of American mosques, the two faced each other and warmly embraced each other. However, Deen Muhammad calls himself the leader of the change-seeking movement and considers Farrakhan the leader of the traditionalists.[2]

Louis Farrakhan is an American religious leader and civil rights activist. He is known for his political stances within the United States.
Political Islam
He is considered a pioneer in political stances within the United States. He was the first American Muslim leader to issue a call during the United States Senate elections in 1992 (CE). In 1980 (CE), he voted for the Republican Party and supported Bush in the presidential election campaigns between George Bush and Clinton. During the Gulf War between Kuwait and Iraq, Farrakhan offered full support to the United States and Saudi Arabia against Iraq. Saudi Arabia, by granting him $5.8 million in aid, enabled him to establish a mosque in South Los Angeles for himself and his supporters.[citation needed] Farrakhan supports the struggle of the Palestinian people for their land and their right to self-determination, but emphasizes that he will not support any terrorist action or acts that lead to the killing of innocent people. Farrakhan is severely condemned by Jewish capitalists in the United States due to his anti-Semitic remarks.
Osama bin Laden did not destroy the Twin Towers. This was a false flag operation to divert global attention from the major disagreement in the United States after the election theft by George W. Bush."

Meeting with Ayatollah Jannati
Louis Farrakhan, during a trip to the Islamic Republic of Iran in 1394 SH (2015 CE), had a meeting with Ayatollah Jannati.[1] Louis Farrakhan, civil activist and leader of the Nation of Islam movement in America, said in a meeting with Ayatollah Jannati: "Being present in Iran, which is my own home, is a great honor for me, and I thank God for this. Also, meeting and using your experiences is a great honor for us. I hope when I reach Your Excellency's age, I will be as active and energetic as you. Our cooperation is based on our shared belief and hope in Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him) and the Day of Deliverance. Our people in America are considered spiritually dead, but through Islam, we have no fear of the powerful devil that is America."[2]
