The Nation of Islam is lashing out at three black members of Congress who have denounced its leader, Louis Farrakhan, for making anti-Semitic and anti-white remarks in a recent speech.
In an open letter on the group’s website, Representatives Gregory Meeks, Barbara Lee and Danny Davis, who have disavowed Farrakan’s anti-Semitic and racist rhetoric, are accused of being sellouts to Farrakhan’s critics — derided as “Satanic Jews” — and the Nation of Islam leader is compared to Jesus Christ.
“Remember, it was the same Satanic Jews of yesterday that conspired against Jesus and had him killed by the ruling authority of the Roman Empire,” the letter reads. “They hated Jesus because he told the truth.

On Wednesday afternoon, Farrakhan pushed the same message, tweeting: “Why do the Jews hate me with so much passion? Because Jesus, my brother, who was their last prophet, was 2,000 years too soon. I am on time.”
