Following are excerpts from a speech given by Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan, which was posted on the Internet on June 15, 2011:

Louis Farrakhan: According to what we understand, only two percent of the Libyan people are in rebellion against their government. Now, you [Obama] mean to tell me that half the people don’t want you, and you dare to say that this man [Al-Qadhafi] is illegitimate? What makes him illegitimate, and what makes you legitimate? Is it because you have ruled the world under white supremacy? Is it because of your former power as a colonial master and a slave master? Is it because of your military might?

Well let me tell you what’s about to happen to all of you.I didn’t come here just to have a press conference; I came here to preach the doom of this institution. You say that he is illegitimate, he kills his own people? What’s your record? What’s your record, America?

Keep looking at the chessboard. Soon, you will see your pieces coming off the table. Your governments will soon be laying in…some of you, who have plotted against the peoples of the world, will be seen on the back of pickup trucks, driving through the streets of America, with the American people throwing stones and raw garbage at you.

In the name of Allah, the Merciful and Compassionate.

Dear brother leader, Mu’ammar Al-Qadhafi, may this letter find you, your family, and the faithful people of the Libyan Arab Republic, in the best health and spirit in spite of the prevailing circumstances.

Dear brother leader, in the general orders that we were given by the honorable Elijah Muhammad, whose desire was to make us brave fighters, willing, at any time, to give our lives for Allah’s sake and righteousness, it states in general order No. 5 “Do not quit your post until properly relieved.” Allah put you on your post, and neither NATO, the President of the U.S., the Arab League, or anybody else, has the power or authority to tell you to quit your post. Elijah Muhammad told me: “Die on your post.”

Dear brother [Barack Obama], be careful about the assassination of Mu’ammar Al-Qadhafi and others in the Muslim world. Could it be that while you and your staff are planning the death of Mu’ammar Al-Qadhafi, could it also be that members of your own Democratic Party are plotting to betray you? Could it be that right now, while you are planning for your second term, that there are those in your party [who don’t] want you for a second term, and definitely the Republicans don’t want you to be a one-term president.

So, like Abraham Lincoln, who was prosecuting the civil war, and doubted that he would be reelected, won a second term, but this so angered the opposition that it was then that his own reelection inspired his assassination. Could that be going on right now, under your own nose?

Think, dear brother, before you act, because as the Bible puts it: “God is not mocked. As a man soweth, the same shall he also reap.”As Obadiah the Prophet said: “As thou hast done, so shall it be done unto you.” If they are successful in killing brother Al-Qadhafi, this is not going to be the end. This is the beginning of horrors, as you will see.

Al-Qadhafi wasn’t in some tent twiddling his thumbs. He was working for the good of the African people. The African people will rise. NATO and… I’m sorry, America – I have got to say it, because I heard it from the mouth of the honorable Elijah Muhammad – Europe is finished.

All of you who love war will be drowned in your own blood, as it is written: “Those of you who love to shed the blood of others – Allah will make you drunk with your own blood, as with sweet wine.” Europe is headed for war, as we speak. Yes England, France, Italy, Germany, the honorable Elijah Muhammad told me that at the right time to tell you that Europe is the graveyard of the future. All of you who ran to Europe, to your former colonial masters, it is written that everyone will have to go to their own, and find refuge under their own vine and fig tree.

And as Europe is trying to push out the Africans, to push out the Pakistanis, you would be wise to prepare yourself to get out of there or die there, because the future for Europe and America is bleak, very very bleak.China and Russia – oh, you all will be at war. You like it, so Allah is going to give it to you. You will have war soon. Mark my words – not my words, but the words of a man who was taught by God. You will face every word that he spoke. You will remember what you heard today – that a man, a real man of God was in your midst, and every word that I speak – you will face it.
