Last week the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan spoke at The Faith Community of St. Sabina, which is pastored by Father Michael Pfleger. The May 25 speech was Min. Farrakhan's first time speaking publicly since Mother's Day.

This was great to see because it brought two of my favorite people together. Minister Farrakhan who was on his death bed from cancer last year, reportedly spoke for an hour at St. Sabina and in a powerful way. Pfleger spent many hours with Min. Farrakhan during his illness.
Father Pfleger and Min. Farrakhan have shared an long friendship as they both have labored to uplift the African-American community in Chicago and throughout the country. Anyone who actually listens to the Minister as opposed to relying on sound bites knows that if his heart has any hatred, it's a hatred of evil and injustice. The Muslim minister and Catholic priest know that what matters most is doing God's work, especially for the least of these, my brethren.

Excellent article, I honestly believe that African American Muslims, Christians, and Jews in the United States can teach and show the world that through true understanding, we all can co-exist in peace and grow the Kindgom of God on Earth.

What’s up Shawn I was relieved when Farrakan survived, we still need him. Now dont get me wrong I have some bitter feelings about him and the Nation but the truth is he has and will continue to do great work.
