    Exactly. After making salat with pale skinned blue eyed Muslims he realized all of that "white devil " sh it was BS. Farrakhan and the NOI were having none of that

      A majority of the SJWs tearing down statues don't even know why they are tearing them down, except for the fact that they are statues of white men. They seem to have forgotten about the hundreds of thousands of Union soldiers (mostly white men) who died in battle and eventually put an end to slavery.

      They also conveniently forget the deep history behind slavery, the facts they choose to ignore or forget, or are too ignorant to comprehend.

        Crosses being removed too:




        Federal court rules World War I memorial cross must be torn down

        http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/...torn-down.html

        Back in 1925, the American Legion erected a memorial in Bladensburg, Md., to honor the memory of 49 men who perished during World War I.

        The 40-foot tall memorial became known as the "Peace Cross."

        In 2014, the American Humanist Association -- a group that believes in "being good without a god" -- filed a lawsuit alleging the cross-shaped memorial is unconstitutional and demanding it be demolished, altered, or removed.

        They alleged the cross carries "an inherently religious message and creates the unmistakable appearance of honoring only Christian servicemen."

        "Today's decision sets dangerous precedent by completely ignoring history, and it threatens removal and destruction of veterans memorials across America."
        On Wednesday, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals agreed and ruled the historic memorial must be torn down -- all because the Bladensburg Memorial is in the shape of a cross.

        The Fourth Circuit said the memorial excessively entangles the government in religion because the cross is the “core symbol of Christianity” and “breaches” the wall separating church and state.

        Writing separately, Chief Judge Gregory wrote, “This Memorial stands in witness to the VALOR, ENDURANCE, COURAGE, and DEVOTION of the forty-nine residents of Prince George’s County, Maryland ‘who lost their lives in the Great War for the liberty of the world.’ I cannot agree that a monument so conceived and dedicated and that bears such witness violates the letter or spirit of the very Constitution these heroes died to defend.”

        The American Legion could appeal directly to the Supreme Court.

        "Today's decision sets dangerous precedent by completely ignoring history, and it threatens removal and destruction of veterans memorials across America," First Liberty Institute attorney Hiram Sasser said.

        First Liberty Institute and the Jones Day law firm are representing the American Legion in their fight.

        “This memorial has stood in honor of local veterans for almost 100 years and is lawful under the First Amendment,” Jones Day attorney Michael Carvin said. “To remove it would be a tremendous dishonor to the local men who gave their lives during The Great War.”

        A militant group of atheists, agnostics and free-thinkers want to eradicate Christianity in the public marketplace. The only way to stop this evil scourge is for people of faith to stand together and fight back in the courts.

          That's brilliant. Instead of "only honoring Christian soldiers" (that's a load of bs), let's tear it down and not honor any

              Depends. I don't see a point in having a statue of Robert E. Lee in NY unlike Virginia. The ones in Virginia trying to bring confederate stuff down are just being crybabies.

              Jews and Chinese have been oppressed far worse and they don't cry.

                    Why it look like the man in the statue is sticking his middle finger up?

                      Meanwhile, DC's former crack head mayor just got a statue. A guy who was a crack head, spent six months in federal prison, throughout his entire career, Barry was dogged by legal troubles, corruption allegations, drunk-driving arrests and a host of other issues that would have obliterated the career of most politicians. But they spent $250K for this low-life's statue. One of the worst mayor's of DC, if not the worst.
