Quote:
The controversial leader of the US Nation of Islam has stepped aside due to illness, according to a letter Louis Farrakhan wrote to his members.

Farrakhan, who leads the religious group which rose to national prominence under Malcolm X during the civil rights movement, said he is suffering from a painful infection that has plagued him since March.

Farrakhan, who visited Cuba in March, likened his illness to that of Fidel Castro and said that just as Cuba did not fall apart without its leader, neither will the Nation of Islam.

Despite the fact that he's a jerk, I hope he gets better. I really do.
