Really? There's a civil right to kill cracker babies?Panthers are civil rights hero's.
Critics call Shabazz's protestations a stage act to recruit disenfranchised blacks and Muslims.
Unfortunately, this time of national crisis is a boom season for fringe groups, said Rob Sobhani, a Muslim studies expert and professor at Georgetown University.
"This is the best time for radicals to recruit because people who are disenfranchised for one reason or another are perfect prey. This is recruitment by the Black Panthers and the Nation of Islam," Sobhani said.
Shabazz represents a "very narrow slice" of "people who want to bring Islam into political life and speak for Muslims nationally," said Charles Fairbanks, director of Central Asia-Caucasus Institute at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies.
Too often, that slice is riddled with extremists like Shabazz and moderates who may disagree but fear retaliation if they are too vocal, Fairbanks said.
"Muslim leaders need to get on the bandwagon; they need to condemn this forcefully and they are not," Sobhani said.
Those dissenting voices, however, may not be heard over the rant of Shabazz and his clerics. This week, in a four-hour sermon, they upbraided American Muslim groups that ally themselves with President Bush's war on terror. They also declared that those groups are destined for destruction because they believe that America is a democracy.
But the New Black Panther Party isn't recognizable to old-timers who were there for the first go-around. David Horowitz, a liberal-turned-conservative author who worked alongside the Black Panthers in the '60's, called Shabazz "a real evil guy � he reminds me of a programmed cultist."
"They hate America. They are racist and extremely dangerous," Horowitz said.

Not saying too, but faux outrage over some boney ass brother spewing anger is priceless.
I love how republiklans get more outraged at statements than actions. Guess slavery and lynchings didn't bother you much.
