“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.”
