Quote of the Day:
(Note: The following statement was released by the
Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan on the recent shooting
at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut)
It is terrible to witness what we just witnessed in the
slaying of these children. Every life has a purpose. Innocent
life is more valuable in the Sight of God, so when innocent
life is sacrificed: What “lesson” should we learn from such a
tremendous sacrifice, tremendous suffering, tremendous
pain?
Why should our president, a father, shed tears over the
precious lives that were torn away from their parents and
friends? It’s to help a nation see that guns, and the weapons
of war, cannot bring about the joy, happiness and peace that
was robbed from the people of Newtown.
And hopefully, the president of the United States,
sending drones into Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan
and other places, killing men, women and children—and the
word says “collateral damage,” and we go on killing…
Could it be that these precious lives lost, and the pain
that it has caused every one of us who shares the pain of
those parents, and those loved ones who lost those precious
children and the lives of the teachers who taught them…
Could it be that God wants us to see that until you can feel
the pain and suffering of others that has been inflicted upon
them on the basis of a lie, and America’s reach for the
resources of that area of the world, then maybe you will
understand that this may be “chickens coming home to
roost.” “For as thou hast done”—the Book says—“so shall it
be done unto you.”
— Minister Farrakhan's statement on Newtown Massacre
