>entitled "The Time and What Must Be Done", in which he stated that
>African Americans are "polluted" by the decadence of by the decadence
>of white society.  He advocates strict enforcement of the Old
>Testament and Koranic laws to force black people out of their
>wickedness and degeneracy.  As the audience cheered, Farrakhan
>proclaimed that to save the nation, "the punishement for sleeping with
>your daughter - is death" and "the punishment for rape is death".  He
>also included adultery and homosexuality as crimes that should be
>punished by death, stating :

>
>	"God is no respecter of persons - Your mother is not above the
>law. Your brother, your sister, your friend - nobody is above God's
>law...
>
>	"Do you know why [in bibilical times] they [stoned you to
>death] for adultery?  Because there is nothing more sacred than
>marriage and family.  Nothing...[applause]. And everytime you stone
>[an adulterer] you are killing the thought in your own mind...You make
>an example [by stoning someone] because the individual is not more
>important than the community [or the] nation.  So you sacrifice the
>individual for the preservation of a nation.
>
>	"Now brothers, in the Holy world you can't switch. [Farrakhan
>walks across the stage like an effeminate man]. No, no, no.. in the
>Holy world you better hide that stuff 'cause see if God made you for a
>woman, you can't go with man...You know what the penalty is for that
>in the Holy land? Death...They don't play with that [he laughs].
>Sister get to going with another sister - Both women [are
>decapitated]."
