Farrakhan correct Iraqi Report
CHICAGO (FinalCall.com)--The following is a transcript of a July 10 morning
interview with Minister Louis Farrakhan by Chicago NBC affiliate television
station WMAQ-Channel 5. He was interviewed by co-hosts Nesita Kwan and Art
Norman.
Co-host Nesita Kwan: The Nation of Islam leader met with Iraqi officials
over the weekend. In his statements to the press Farrakhan has expressed
support for the Iraqi people and their government, but the Iraqi News Agency
is saying he went a step further with his latest remarks. Minister Farrakhan
is in South Africa and has agreed to join us on the phone to talk about
these alleged statements and his trip to Iraq. Good morning, Minister.
Minister Farrakhan: Good morning, and good morning to all your listeners.
Kwan: Let me first start by asking you, and quoting from the (Chicago) Sun
Times (newspaper) this morning that the government-run Iraqi News Agency
claims that you said that you admire the Iraqi people and you hope for a
victory to Iraq and you are praying, the Muslim American people are praying
to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq. That's what the Iraqi News
Agency is saying you said. Is that true?
Farrakhan: No, that absolutely is not true. The victory for Iraq as well as
for the United States of America would be peace, so that no United States
soldier would be put in harms way, or one bomb dropped on the Iraqi people.
That would be a victory for both sides; and that's the victory that I and
those with me are praying for. Not a war and a victory, but peace as the
victory for both sides.
Kwan: You did not meet with Saddam Hussein when you were in Iraq over the
weekend, but you did meet with some government officials. Tell us a little
bit about what the government's stance is, what you came away with from that
perspective.
Farrakhan: I met with many of the ministers of the Iraqi government,
including the vice president. I also met with religious leaders as well.
What I found was that the spirit of the Iraqi people is strong and resolute.
They do not want war, they want peace. They would hope that the United
States government would not attack them, but if they are attacked, naturally
they said they would have to fight in defense of themselves and their own
sovereignty.
Kwan: Are they preparing for military conflict? Did you see that when you
were there?
Farrakhan: No, I saw no such thing as a preparation for a military conflict.
What I saw was the people going about their daily chores and their daily
business, even as the American people are doing the same in spite of the
threat of terror. They are continuing their business and I would pray that
they would be able to continue that without the fear of United States bombs.
Co-host Art Norman: Minister Farrakhan, we talked to Minister Akbar Muhammad
this morning. He told us about the statement, that you denied it. What is
your next course of action? Are you going to call the Iraqi News Agency and
say you quoted me out of context? Where do you go from here because this
story is just now breaking across the world?
Farrakhan: Well, that's very unfortunate. It falls into the hands of the
enemies of myself and all I can do is speak the truth. I have a tape of
everything that I did say, which, of course, you all are welcome to. But I
never, never asked for victory in war. The victory must be peace and an end
to murder and an end to war. That is the victory that I hope for, and that
is the victory that I pray for. I would never ask God to allow the American
people, of whom I am one, to be slaughtered in a war, or to die in a war for
really what I see is a vendetta of our government against Saddam Hussein. We
have no right whatsoever to go into another man's house and sit another
leader down. We don't have that right.
Norman: Minister Farrakhan, we'd like to say thank you very much for talking
with us and getting that part of the story out. We appreciate your time.
Farrakhan: Thank you.
