Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan said Sunday that he considers Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi a friend and won’t distance himself from him despite the deadly crackdown on protesters in the turbulent North Africa c
ountry.
Farrakhan didn’t talk specifics about the uprisings in Libya as he spoke to thousands of followers during his Chicago-based organization’s annual convention in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont.
“Name one ruler that has the 100 love of his people,” Farrakhan said. “You can’t find one.”
