Louis Farrakhan: If the Federal Gov’t Does Not Intercede, ‘We Must Rise Up & Kill Those Who Kill Us’

Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan called late last month for black Americans to "rise up" and "kill those who kill us" if the federal government fails to "intercede in our affairs."

The call for violence came during a July 30 speech the radical leader delivered at Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Miami.

"The Koran teaches persecution is worse than slaughter. Then it says, retaliation is prescribed in matters of the slain. Retaliation is a prescription from God to calm the breaths of those whose children have been slain," Farrakhan said.

"So if the federal government will not intercede in our affairs, then we must rise up and kill those who kill us. Stalk them and kill them and let them feel the pain of death that we are feeling," he added.

Video of the excerpt was posted on Farrakhan's Facebook page Monday with the hashtag "#JusticeOrElse."

Farrakhan is scheduled to speak next month in Washington, D.C., during a demonstration organized in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of his 1995 million man march.
