Obama as "Messiah", Farrakhan announces new direction for Nation of Islam

“We have restored Mosque Maryam completely, and we will dedicate it to the universal message of Islam, and the universal aspect of the Teachings of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. It represents for the Nation of Islam, a new beginning,” Farrakhan said. (More here)

The dedication ceremony and a major address by Min. Farrakhan will take place on Sunday, October 19 at 2 p.m. The event will mark another significant development in the history of the Nation of Islam in the city of Chicago, which the Hon. Elijah Muhammad said would be the capital of Islam in the West.

Farrakhan says the re-dedication is about linking his group to the larger Muslim world.

These statements from Farrakhan come only days after he referred to Sen. Barack Obama as "The Messiah"  (video here)

Please see this post in the Free Republic entitled "WHAT LIES BENEATH FARRAKHAN'S "MESSIAH"?":

Farrakhan endorsed Obama February 25, 2008

And Obama failed to denounce him. Remember this?

What happened in the debate last night when Tim Russert confronted Barack Obama about Louis Farrakhan? In real time, I thought that Obama failed to denounce Farrakhan and that Hillary Clinton caught it and confronted him. It was the single most impressive thing I've seen Hillary Clinton do in the debates. But then Obama managed to cloud things up and make her point seem silly, and she backed down. (Althouse)

And back in March, Volokh caught this Obamendacity:

I just caught the transcript of Obama's meeting with Jewish community leaders in Cleveland last week. Unfortunately, Obama lies pretty blatantly, to wit (referring to the award his church's magazine gave to Farrakhan): "An award was given to Farrakhan for his work on behalf of ex-offenders completely unrelated to his controversial statements." As I've noted before, the honor for Farrakhan was for his dedication to "truth," with no mention of ex-offenders.

Interesting, I read a book by alleged Obama patron Khalid Al Mansour in which Al Mansour encourages Farrakhan to move in this direction. As for the "Chicago, capitol of Islam in the West," I saw a YouTube video of a Muslim & Shriner saying Chicago is our Mecca and Detroit is our Medina, saying the distance between Chicago & Detroit is the same as beween Mecca and Medina.

I want to know why of all of a sudden this mo is being called "The honorable". Is is a bit like the Saudi press, suddenly they have started referring to mo's wife #1 as "the lady Kadiya". Six camels and you are called lady, two oil wells and you are a prince.
