Louis Farrakhan delivers insult while denying he's anti-Semitic
CHICAGO — Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan referenced"Satanic Jews" in a speech denying allegations of anti-Semitism, misogyny and homophobia after Facebook banned him from the social media platform.
Farrakhan, who turns 86 this weekend, said those who think he is a hater don't know him and have never had a conversation with him. He added those who hated him before and got to know him came to love him. He went on to say Facebook's contention that he is dangerous is true because what he says can be researched by his listeners.
Pfleger, one of Chicago's most prominent activists, defended his invitation, saying he was responding to the Facebook ban as a defender of free speech.
