SUPPORT RESOLUTION EXPRESSING OUTRAGE AT RACIST, ANTI-CATHOLIC, AND
ANTI-SEMITIC REMARKS OF KHALID MOHAMMAD
(Mr. LANTOS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. LANTOS. Mr. Speaker, as racial, religious, and ethnic violence
flares in Europe and the former Soviet Union, we must remember that the
United States is not immune. On November 29, 1993, at Kean College in
New Jersey, Mr. Khalid Mohammad, a senior representative of the Nation
of Islam, delivered an outrageous and violent attack on the principles
of racial, religious, and ethnic intolerance. His attempt to incite
violence by preaching bigotry and hatred must be swiftly and forcefully
condemned by this body.
Mr. Speaker, joined by some of the most distinguished Republicans and
Democrats in this House, I am introducing a resolution expressing the
outrage of the House of Representatives at the remarks of Mr. Mohammad
and condemns all manifestations of intolerance, including racism, anti-
Catholicism, and anti-Semitism. I urge all of my colleagues to join me
in this effort.
