Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, who has publicly announced in the past that the late Libyan strongman Moammar Gadhafi was a "friend," condemned Gadhafi's killing yesterday and said the West will soon reap a whirlwind for supporting the uprisings that led to his death.

Farrakhan made his comments on Cliff Kelley's afternoon show on WVON-AM yesterday.

“I know something of the good of Moammar Gadhafi that made me to love him as a brother and to feel a great sense of loss at his assassination,” Farrakhan said during a two-hour interview with radio host Cliff Kelley on WVON-AM.

Later in the show, he said: “Gadhafi died in honor, fighting for the Libya that he believed in.”

…U.S. could find itself with a revolution of its own. He pointed to the Occupy Wall Street movement as evidence of growing unrest in the U.S.

“This is going to happen all over the world,” Farrakhan said. “I want you to know that you’re through as a world power. Through, through.”

Farrakhan has used the Libyan conflict as a recruiting tool for the Nation of Islam, whose membership has declined in recent years. It's believed that NOI membership has dropped to nearly half of the 100,000 members of its peak in the mid-1990s.
