"Farrakhan has described a 1985 religious experience in which he ascended into a flying saucer and heard the voice of Elijah Muhammad predicting historical events that came to pass."
I think that just about says it all...
I have to say, I absolutely love this forum! Loads of useful information. You guys are great!

While I agree with the other posters that Fair-a con is a set himself on fire to prove a point nutjob . I can definitely see how there could be muslim uprisings in this country.
If the price of gas goes up so much that it costs non muslim folks too much to get to work, watch out, things are about to get sporty.
I believe the major difference between the Mideastern uprisings and potential uprisings in the US is the relatively small number of people who might be induced to "rise up" here as opposed to abroad. The radicals of almost any religious denomination in America represent a small percentage of the whole of any particular religion and the presence of an armed citizenry with the ability to defend itself, combined with local, state, and federal law enforcement, will tend to make such "uprisings" short-term and relatively localized.
I am more concerned about a Hispanic uprising than a moslem one. The moslems will go for the suicide bombings and shootings and bombing things. The Hispanics will likely create urban anarchy if possible.
I think those radicalism hearings in congress got him scared?! Not to say it couldnt happen here. Right now though I am more concerned with my buddy stationed in Kuwait till Oct.!!
Farrakhan is being more wishful than anything right now. He's angry and stirs hatred every chance he gets. If he's not careful, he will become an enema of the state. If he would get rounded up by Uncle Sham on whatever trumped up "mouth of mass destruction" charges, then there could be trouble in paradise. They know this.
Anyone who has been to some of the big cities and has seen the ghettos and slums should be worried. Very worried. And they are heavily armed and pissed off, unemployed, and in many cases, hopeless. Most Americans don't have a clue and have never seen these living conditions in person. Most of the country is rural with a sparse population so the big cities are where the S will likely HTF first in this scenario.
There has to be a deep seated catalyst for any kind of mass uprising to take hold. We don't want this because in my opinion, that's exactly what the goobermint wants.
