American Black Muslim preacher Louis Farrakhan (photo) has been accused in many US media outlets of leading a chant of “Death to America” while visiting Iran a few weeks ago. Farrakhan denies doing any such thing, and a brief video of his appearance appears to support him. The video show him saying “Marg bar Israel” and then asking students if he is pronouncing the phrase correctly. He listens to them and then says “marg bar” a few times while the students say “Amrika” rather than Israel. In the United States, Fox News used only the snippet showing him saying (not chanting) “marg bar” but excluding the earlier part where he asked how it was pronounced.
