THE HAUERWAS / FARRAKHAN CONNECTION: I’ve already mentioned Stanley Hauerwas’s prayer for America to be “humbled” by our enemies. Now Louis Farrakhan is in Baghdad saying much the same thing:

The official Iraqi News Agency, INA, said Farrakhan, on a “solidarity” visit to Iraq, held talks with Islamic Affairs Minister Abdul Munem Saleh on “ways to confront the American threats against Iraq.”

INA quoted the African-American Muslim leader as saying “the Muslim American people are praying to the almighty God to grant victory to Iraq.”

Funny. Stanley doesn’t look Muslim.
