I hate to be the one to break it to him, but the Middle East does not view the Nation of Islam as "real" Muslims...........He may potray himself as Sunni, but his relationship with the Nation is very well documented. To be a member of the Nation, you must have at least one black parent, no exceptions. I have lived with 2 former members, and I have read their manual from front to back.

Well, whether he's well received or not -- do you think he will be a truly loyal representative in this matter? The fact that he's a Nation of Islam guy makes me even more uncomfortable about it.

If it were up to me, he'd be appointed to a Congressional committee researching the alleged alligators in the New York City sewers........
