Defenders of Farrakhan cracked Serene 13 and others

The Anti-Defamation League said Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan confirmed his “status as the leading anti-Semite in America,” following a speech he gave this week in which he blamed Jews and Israelis for the deadliest terror attack in American history.

In a statement released Thursday, Abraham H. Foxman, ADL’s national director, said that Farrakhan was the “pied piper of bigotry” who has been able to “use and abuse his status as a religious leader with a large audience to obsessively harp on about perceived Jewish power and influence.”At a time when anti-Semitic attitudes are at historic lows, Farrakhan’s unabashed promotion of anti-Semitism is a throwback to the intolerance of another era,” Foxman said“Unlike most fringe anti-Semites, Farrakhan still has a significant following who not only listen raptly, but who cheer him on with every new insult.”
