"And the believers should not go forth all together. Why, then, does not a company from every party from among them go forth that they may apply themselves to obtain understanding in religion, and that they may warn their people, when they come back to them, that they may be cautious?" —Holy Qur’an, Surah 9, verse 122


In the bitter cold winter of 1998, Minister Farrakhan and his 24-member delegation of the Nation of Islam arrived in Seoul, Korea, for the first time. After passing through Customs, we were received by some of the leadership of the Unification Church under the direction of Rev. Sun Myung Moon. He and his wife, Hak Ja Han Moon, hosted our visit.

The first place on our stop was the location of the beautiful theater of the performing arts academy of the Little Angels and Ballet School, built and founded by the Rev. Moon. His daughter-in-law, Julia Moon, is the current director. We were invited to a very formal dinner, which was followed by our attendance at a performance of the Little Angels in the large theater complex. Their routines and disciplines, demonstrated in the art of their cultural expression, were impeccable and stunning.

It was after the youthful performance when medals of Honor were presented to the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan, his wife Mother Khadijah and myself. We were all treated with the greatest respect and were hosted for two days before our departure. During that time, tours were arranged for our delegation, which included a visit to their own newspaper plant, a ceramic factory, and the Sun Moon University campus site outside of Seoul.

Mother Khadijah, Sister Karriemah, and myself did not visit one or two of these sites, which in my visit to Korea last year were included. This journey not only opened the door wider to Korea, but also included my passage to Mongolia, which was made possible through Rev. Moon’s leadership.


German anyone?




18. Mai 2003:
Juden, Christen und Muslime unterzeichnen die "Jerusalem-Erklärung"
131 Repräsentanten des Christentums, über 120 des Judentums und 10 des Islams trafen sich in Jerusalem. Erzbischof Stallings lud dabei den ranghöchsten Rabbiner zur gemeinsamen Unterzeichnung der Jerusalem Erklärung ein. Nachdem sich der Rabbiner den Inhalt von Friedensbotschafter Dr. Shalev auf hebräisch genau hatte erklären lassen, sagte er, er würde unterschreiben, wenn auch sein muslimischer Bruder, der Imam, unterschreiben würde. Daraufhin stand der Imam ohne zu zögern auf und alle drei, als Vertreter des Judentums, Christentums und des Islam, unterschrieben die Jerusalem-Erklärung, gefolgt von allen anderen Teilnehmern der Konferenz.

"And He is Allah in the heavens and in the earth. He knows your secret (thoughts) and your open (words), and He knows what you earn. And there comes not to them any message of the messages of their Lord but they turn away from it. So they rejected the truth when it came to them, but soon will come to them the news of that which they mocked." —Holy Qur’an, Surah 6, verses 3-5


During the first few days of November 2002, I arrived in Seoul, Korea, in preparation for my journey to Mongolia. I met with Bishop Yang, the head over the Unification Churches in North America, who had worked out my itinerary in Seoul. I had come specifically to write a story about Rev. Moon and the Unification Church that will appear in the upcoming issue of the Cultural Links News Journal.

He had arranged for me to meet with Mr. and Mrs. Moon at an early morning service and breakfast at their residence. This event took place one day prior to a special Youth Day celebration, which was held at the Auditorium Theater and School Complex of the Universal Ballet Company and Academy of the Little Angels.

During this meeting, I became more acquainted with the spiritual thinking that underlies the activity and success of Rev. Moon and the Unification Church. I had made a request prior to leaving the U.S.A. to write a story about Rev. Moon and the Unification Church. I was granted the opportunity to study some of their operations in Seoul, Korea. Subsequently, I was granted an audience with the founder and his wife. Some family members and representatives from his top leadership were gathered at our meeting.

Rev. Moon expounded on several guiding principles of the church’s vision, structure and the global outreach initiative. Then I observed many similarities between some of their guiding principles and that of the Nation of Islam’s founder, the Honorable Elijah Muhammad. Good manners, cordialness and a respectful demeanor were part of our similarities.
