On Wednesday morning while driving to work, I was listening to the news and heard the following story. It seems that the leader of the Black Muslims (who supports Jackson quite strongly and went to Syria with him) recently said (paraphrase) that the black reporter who revealed Jackson's Hymietown remark is a traitor to his race and revenge will be taken on him and his family (death threat inserted at this point). Jackson was told of this incident and said that he hadn't fully discussed this yet with the Muslim leader and that he would like to have a meeting with the leader and the reporter to work this out. The reporter said that he would be willing to meet Jackson and the Muslim leader once the death threat was removed. I believe Jackson was said to have told the Muslim leader that what he did was wrong, but no political ties were broken. I heard this on (I think) WLS radio. Did this really happen? Scott Pector
