We quote from his letter to clients: "My wife Patricia and I spent the four- day July 4th weekend in Chicago at the International Islamic Conference, hosted by the Nation of Islam, in conjunction with the World Islamic Peoples Leadership. It may have been the single most important political event I have witnessed in my life. . . . What made the event so important was that when the weekend began, Farrakhan was the spiritual leader of 200,000 members of the Nation of Islam and clearly the most influential of 33 million African- Americans. At its conclusion, Farrakhan stands a good chance at uniting 1.2 billion Muslims under his spiritual leadership." Right. With Jude al-Wanniski as his grand vizier.
The World Islamic Peoples Leadership, incidentally, is chaired by Libyan strongman Muammar Qadhafi.
