TAMPA, Fla.The huge floor of the convention center was so full that members of the Fruit of Islam rushed to set up extra chairs as thousands turned out to hear the leader of the Nation of Islam speak in an area known for sunny weather, palm trees, waterways, lush greenery and vacations.

But Sunday, Oct. 17, was no day off: It was devoted to a keynote address by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to mark the 15th anniversary of the Million Man March, which drew nearly two million Black men to the nation's capitol, and a Holy Day of Atonement built on the principles of atonement, reconciliation and responsibility.

Million Man March still resonates 15 years later

TAMPA, Fla.—From Muslims and Black men who gathered on the National Mall October 16, 1995 to those who have only heard tales of a magical day of peace and women proud of changes seen in husbands, fathers, sons, grandfathers and cousins, the Million Man March and the spiritual messages of atonement, reconciliation and responsibility and practical community building remain valuable.

The aftermath of twin bombs in Kampala, Uganda that killed 76 people on July 11 has taken a new turn reminiscent of post Sept. 11, 2001 reactions by the United States government, when civil liberties and due process were discarded to seek and apprehend those responsible for the attack in which nearly 3,000 people died.

Afghanistan: A war with no end

http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/World_News_3/article_7345.shtml

On Oct. 7, 2001, the invasion of Afghanistan started as a strike-back for the 9-11 terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., however, going into its 10th year the war has yet to ameliorate the situation. Observers claim the U.S.-led occupation of Afghanistan and the terrible violence engulfing Pakistan is the combination of 30 years of American intrigue in Central Asia to establish strategic and economic dominance over the resource-rich region.

Beware: The Onslaught of the Flood of Lies

http://www.finalcall.com/artman/publish/Columns_4/article_7348.shtml

The deluge of a flood of lies has now begun as the mainstream press, led by the notoriously yellow journalism of the New York Post suggested that some secret meeting occurred between the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, New Black Panther Leader Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to discuss what's wrong with the world.
