Louis Farrakhan spoke to a full house Friday night (5/25/07) at St. Sabina Catholic Church. He was invited by Rev. Michael Pfleger, pastor of the church, a friend of Farrakhan’s. During his talk he claimed to be both a Muslim and a Christian:
“Even though I am a Muslim — I don’t apologize for that — I’m also a Christian, A good Muslim is a Christian, and a good Christian is a Muslim,” …“Whenever Christ’s name is mentioned, I feel at home.”
Comments:
