Ministry of Lies: The Truth Behind the Nation of Islam's "the Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews"

Rating:
Summary: If true, it's a much-needed dose of reality.
Review: I do not pretend to be an expert on Louis Farrakhan, but if this book accurately quotes his remarks and statements, he is obviously an either woefully misinformed or quite hateful man. He is lying, and this book refutes those lies. It is informative and useful.

If this book inaccurately quotes Louis Farrakhan, then its critics should use that as the basis for their dislike of it. When an author disproves a noted religious figure's statements, and that figure's adherents demonstrate an inexplicable refusal to deny that the statements were made, you can usually be certain that the author is correct.

Louis Farrakhan demonstrates that you don't have to be a white Christian to be a dangerous racist spreading lies and promoting genocide---he's actually the only non-white non-Christian that I know of who is doing so in this country---but that's about all.

Summary: Disappointed...
Review: It is obvious after reading this book that the author has not even heard Farrakhan speak or at least did not listen with an open mind.

Many of the references are not even based on fact.

I doubt that the author has even been to the mosque to hear any of the ministers.

If you have an opinion on the Nation of Islam, it is better to hear a speech first hand or talk directly to a member. Save your money by not buying this book.

Summary: Pity
Review: It is truly a pity to see with what weak arguments this work is attacked. Since when must one attend a speech before rectifying bigoted distortions distributed on paper?
