Farrakhan is out of order!

Dear Editor,

I'm not even sure why Jamaica was chosen for this Nation of Islam "Million Man March" anniversary meeting, but if freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion is what it's all about then I suppose no harm done. That is, not until Nation of Islam controversial leader Louis Farrakhan took to the podium and started speaking.

There is a reason this leader is considered controversial and divisive internationally. I saw a brief clip online where he spoke at the meeting about our governor general, who is The Queen's representative, being "a nice man". But he went on to say that we should be able to handle our own business, which is what Independence means, he crossed the line.

That is not your business, Mr Farrakhan! This is the problem with some of these fanatics, they like to preach and incite division and fear, and disguise their message with all type of meddling. Farrakhan was out of order and out of line, and someone should call him out for this. I am sure by the end of his visit there will be more.
