Minister Louis Farrakhan has never been one to bite his tongue or speak without fully expressing himself. When the subject turned to the role of women in our civilization and Beyonce, he didn’t do it either.

Recently Farrakhan sat down with HipHopSince1987.com for an interview when the suggestion for Jay Z appeared. In the interview, the Minister was asked about the Made in America music festival in Philadelphia and the role of the headliner, Beyonce, and other singers/entertainers have as women in the public eye.

Before addressing Jay Z, Farrakhan spoke of how important women are to civilization and then address their role in the public eye and how the likes of Beyonce, Nicki Minaj and Rihanna are handling it.

“The woman is everything in the way of building civilization,” Minister Louis Farrakhan said. “Elijah Muhammad said ‘Where there are no decent women, there are no decent men. For the woman is the mother of civilization.’ When you have a woman that is ignorant, she doesn’t know. But yet she’s the first teacher of her child. She’s the first nurse of her child. Before the child learns to say ‘God,’ they say ‘mama’…Look at Rihanna, look at a Nicki Minaj, look at Beyonce. These are some of the most beautiful, well-formed women you can find…Today, you strip the women of her clothes. How can a man think straight looking at the beauty of Beyonce?”

Later Farrakhan turned

Later Farrakhan turned to Jay Z and mentioned how he would like see Beyonce “beautifully covered” and suggested the hip hop and business mogul might want to cover his wife.

“Jay Z is a good man,” he said. “Jay Z is a good manager. But now your woman is on display. Do you want men looking at your woman? Being tempted by your woman? To make advances at your woman? Who wouldn’t want to be with Rihanna? Who wouldn’t want to be with Nicki Minaj? These are talented women, but you strip them. Then their bodies become the tool that is being used to promote the degradation of the woman. And the subjugation of a man…I would want to say to my brother Jay Z, as much as I love and admire him, ‘I want to see my sister beautifully covered.’”

We understand how those in the Muslim faith want to protect and cover the skin of their women based on their belief system, but how do you think the world will respond to his suggestion for Jay Z to do the same?
