(Note: The following statement was released by the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan on the recent shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut)

It is terrible to witness what we just witnessed in the slaying of these children. Every life has a purpose. Innocent life is more valuable in the Sight of God… So when innocent life is sacrificed: What “lesson” should we learn from such a tremendous sacrifice, tremendous suffering, tremendous pain?

Why should our president, a father, shed tears over the precious lives that were torn away from their parents and friends? It’s to help a nation see that guns, and the weapons of war, cannot bring about the joy, happiness and peace that was robbed from the people of Newtown.

And hopefully, the president of the United States, sending drones into Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan and other places, killing men, women and children—and the word says “collateral damage,” and we go on killing… Could it be that these precious lives lost, and the pain that it has caused every one of us who shares the pain of those parents, and those loved ones who lost those precious children and the lives of the teachers who taught them…

Could it be that God wants us to see that until you can feel the pain and suffering of others that has been inflicted upon them on the basis of a lie, and America’s reach for the resources of that area of the world? Then maybe you will understand that this may be “chickens coming home to roost.” “For as thou hast done”—the Book says:

“So shall it be done unto you.”

A limited and spiteful god would act this way. Could it be that humans who are limited in their concept of god interpret the divine in this way?

I believe if MLK was alive today, he would have a drone too. Different times now than back then.

Please to explain sar?
How would MLK use a drone and for what purpose, or would it be used against him?

You cannot equate MLK's fight for civil rights and racial justice with the fight against international terrorism. The issues are as far apart as the east is from the west that to simply things in the way the images try to do is downright insane. If MLK was in the White House today, how well would his peace through non-violence message go over with Islamic militants such as al-Qaeda and the Taliban?

Why stop at drones? What about Hamas rockets, suicide bombers, military-style assault rifles in the hands of ordinary citizens, landmines, and so on? Nothing wrong with having both a dream AND a drone, the latter for the bad guys wanting to kill the dream.
