Farrakhan Says Radical Muslim Group Rejuvenated

As the prospects of a Barack Obama Presidency have increased, the secretive, radical Muslim group known as 'Nation of Islam' has been rejuvenated, according to the group's head, Louis Farrakhan.

In what Farrakhan considers 'a new beginning' for the group, the Nation of Islam will hold a rare public meeting at their headquarters in Chicago today. Hundreds of religious leaders have been invited to the event at which Farrakhan will speak.

Farrakhan made headlines last week when a video surfaced of the radical Muslim leader telling followers that Obama is their 'Messiah' and 'the hope for the entire world.'

At the core of the groups' principles is the belief that white people descended from the Devil and black people are the true people of Allah.

While the Obama campaign has denounced such statements, Barack Obama himself was a member of a radical leftwing church in Chicago for 20 years (led by the Reverend Jeremiah 'God damn America' Wright) that had consistent ties with Louis Farrakhan.
