I agree that Farrakhan is a scumbag, tho to put it into context he came out of a period when his people were being lynched and oppressed openly by white culture, so I can't entirely blame him for being bitter. He doesn't just hate the Jews... he hates pretty much everyone who isn't black.
I think you overstate his influence, tho. He enjoys limited respect in the USA and possibly in some Islamic countries, but I don't see him as having to be 'contained'... all he has to do is open his mouth to turn most people off right away.
I don't know what to say about the British government being mum on the whole call for Sharia law amongst some UK Muslims.... they probably are treading on eggs, trying not to sound racist.
I have no problem saying that Sharia law has no place in the West, no way, no how. And I sincerely hope it dies and goes to hell everywhere. It's a philosophy straight out of the dark ages.
