McCain's Spiritual Guide: Destroy Islam
Washington Dispatch: Televangelist Rod Parsley, a key McCain ally in Ohio, has called for eradicating the "false religion." Will the GOP presidential candidate renounce him?

Senator John McCain hailed as a spiritual adviser an Ohio megachurch pastor who has called upon Christians to wage a "war" against the "false religion" of Islam with the aim of destroying it.
On February 26, McCain appeared at a campaign rally in Cincinnati with the Reverend Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, a supersize Pentecostal institution that features a 5,200-seat sanctuary, a television studio (where Parsley tapes a weekly show), and a 122,000-square-foot Ministry Activity Center. That day, a week before the Ohio primary, Parsley praised the Republican presidential front-runner as a "strong, true, consistent conservative." The endorsement was important for McCain, who at the time was trying to put an end to the lingering challenge from former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a favorite among Christian evangelicals. A politically influential figure in Ohio, Parsley could also play a key role in McCain's effort to win this bellwether state in the general election. McCain, with Parsley by his side at the Cincinnati rally, called the evangelical minister a "spiritual guide."
The leader of a 12,000-member congregation, Parsley has written several books outlining his fundamentalist religious outlook, including the 2005 Silent No More. In this work, Parsley decries the "spiritual desperation" of the United States, and he blasts away at the usual suspects: activist judges, civil libertarians who advocate the separation of church and state, the homosexual "culture" ("homosexuals are anything but happy and carefree"), the "abortion industry," and the crass and profane entertainment industry. And Parsley targets another profound threat to the United States: the religion of Islam.
In a chapter titled "Islam: The Deception of Allah," Parsley warns there is a "war between Islam and Christian civilization." He continues:
I cannot tell you how important it is that we understand the true nature of Islam, that we see it for what it really is. In fact, I will tell you this: I do not believe our country can truly fulfill its divine purpose until we understand our historical conflict with Islam. I know that this statement sounds extreme, but I do not shrink from its implications. The fact is that America was founded, in part, with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed, and I believe September 11, 2001, was a generational call to arms that we can no longer ignore.
Parsley is not shy about his desire to obliterate Islam. In Silent No More, he notes—approvingly—that Christopher Columbus shared the same goal: "It was to defeat Islam, among other dreams, that Christopher Columbus sailed to the New World in 1492…Columbus dreamed of defeating the armies of Islam with the armies of Europe made mighty by the wealth of the New World. It was this dream that, in part, began America." He urges his readers to realize that a confrontation between Christianity and Islam is unavoidable: "We find now we have no choice. The time has come." And he has bad news: "We may already be losing the battle. As I scan the world, I find that Islam is responsible for more pain, more bloodshed, and more devastation than nearly any other force on earth at this moment."
Parsley claims that Islam is an "anti-Christ religion" predicated on "deception." The Muslim prophet Muhammad, he writes, "received revelations from demons and not from the true God." And he emphasizes this point: "Allah was a demon spirit." Parsley does not differentiate between violent Islamic extremists and other followers of the religion:
There are some, of course, who will say that the violence I cite is the exception and not the rule. I beg to differ. I will counter, respectfully, that what some call "extremists" are instead mainstream believers who are drawing from the well at the very heart of Islam.
The spirit of Islam, he maintains, is one of hostility. He asserts that the religion "inspired" the 9/11 attacks. He bemoans the fact that in the years after 9/11, 34,000 Americans "have become Muslim" and that there are "some 1,209 mosques" in America. Islam, he declares, is a "faith that fully intends to conquer the world" through violence. The United States, he insists, "has historically understood herself as a bastion against Islam," but "history is crashing in upon us."
At the end of his chapter on Islam, Parsley asks, "Are we a Christian nation? I say yes." Without specifying what actions should be taken to eradicate the religion, he essentially calls for a new crusade.
Parsley, who refers to himself as a "Christocrat," is no stranger to controversy. In 2007, the grassroots organization he founded, the Center for Moral Clarity, called for prosecuting people who commit adultery. In January, he compared Planned Parenthood to Nazis. In the past Parsley's church has been accused of engaging in pro-Republican partisan activities in violation of its tax-exempt status.
Why would McCain court Parsley? He has long had trouble figuring out how to deal with Christian fundamentalists, an important bloc for the Republican Party. During his 2000 presidential bid, he referred to Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell as "agents of intolerance." But six years later, as he readied himself for another White House run, McCain repudiated that remark. More recently, his campaign hit a rough patch when he accepted the endorsement of the Reverend John Hagee, a Texas televangelist who has called the Catholic Church "the great whore" and a "false cult system." After the Catholic League protested and called on McCain to renounce Hagee's support, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee praised Hagee's spiritual leadership and support of Israel and said that "when [Hagee] endorses me, it does not mean that I embrace everything that he stands for or believes in." After being further criticized for his Hagee connection, McCain backed off slightly, saying, "I repudiate any comments that are made, including Pastor Hagee's, if they are anti-Catholic or offensive to Catholics." But McCain did not renounce Hagee's endorsement.
McCain's relationship with Parsley is politically significant. In 2004, Parsley's church was credited with driving Christian fundamentalist voters to the polls for George W. Bush. With Ohio expected to again be a decisive state in the presidential contest, Parsley's World Harvest Church and an affiliated entity called Reformation Ohio, which registers voters, could be important players within this battleground state. Considering that the Ohio Republican Party has been decimated by various political scandals and that a popular Democrat, Ted Strickland, is now the state's governor, McCain and the Republicans will need all the help they can get in the Buckeye State this fall. It's a real question: Can McCain win the presidency without Parsley?
The McCain campaign did not respond to a request for comment regarding Parsley and his anti-Islam writings. Parsley did not return a call seeking comment.
"The last thing I want to be is another screaming voice moving people to extremes and provoking them to folly in the name of patriotism," Parsley writes in Silent No More. Provoking people to holy war is another matter. About that, McCain so far is silent.
David Corn is Mother Jones' Washington, D.C. bureau chief.
As we all know, it's hard to argue with a nut, but perhaps someone will tell Mr. Parsnips that the first treaty the new United States signed was with Muslim Tripoli. The treaty read, in part, "The government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." I fail to see how that qualifies as working to destroy the "false religion."
Do the people who listen (and believe) this crap ever read? Do they know how to read? The joke used to be that Methodists were Baptists that could read. What does that make Pentecostals, Neanderthals?
I say it is time to evolve past such ignorance, time to be and act wisely and consciously.

While there are many good people in the world who follow the teachings of Muhammad, there is no getting around the fact that the founder of the religion was not a man of peace. He was a man of war.
If the root is bad, how can the fruit be any good?
And by the way, the U.S. first battled the Islamist extremists who led the Barbary pirates, and crushed them. Where do you think the line "the shores of Tripoli" in the Marine hymn came from?
What Gospel of Jesus Christ does he use to justify his blood lust for Arabs and other Middle-Easterners and Asians?
C. Davie
You know what they call this? Protected Speech under the 1st amendment.
Parsley on the other hand belongs to a satanic sect of Protestant Christianity which eagerly awaits Armageddon. They're terrorists, pure and simple.
Sadly, hatred of Islam and Muslim bashing will probably get McCain more votes rather than less.
through. Another money changer in
the temple. That this fool has any
influence at all speaks to our
sad condition.Do unto others...?
Peace and Blessings!
Hillary unfortunately is using the same strategy to gain her presidency.
Hooking up with John McCain only shows your true colors.
Most 'religions' experience violence of one degree or another during their formative periods, e.g. the persecution of Mormons in the 19th century.
I hate to be nasty, but your singling out Muhammed as a violent man is plain ignorance on display.
All religions preach intolerance on some level. All religions are pernicious. As are generalizations.
Without accepting the validity of the statistics behind that statement, does that mean that Christians would be winning if they were the ones causing the most pain, bloodshed, and devastation?
McCain doesn't understand the Christianists any better than he does the Islamists - they all seem like "wackos" to him - but he knows that Parsley represents money and votes, and that Islam happens in the countries where he plans to wage war for oil.
So McCain will do the Machiavellian thing (just like Reagan and the Bushes) and suck up to every cheesy televangelist with a following of 10 or more, while rattling his sabre and glaring darkly at anyone or anything remotely related to Islam.
Understanding of complex issues is difficult to attain; prejudice, on the other hand, provides the ready answers and absolute certainty needed to mount a Crusade.
You would think that Christians would have learned a valuable lesson from that experience.
I don't think it is the purpose of world religions to slaughter each other into oblivion; but to bring peace, understanding and love to the world.
I never cease to be amazed and depressed by the gross ignorance of the likes of Parsley and apparently, McCane, he of the nineteenth century mind set, who will grovel before any scoundrel/con artist/hatemonger to gain political support, money and influence.
There's really no call for this sort of redundancy.
Kemp's association with Farrakhan didn't do him any good, did it? And I don't know where you found that Ashcroft had dinner with him. That broad appeal, isn't so broad. And Farrakhan is a racist.
By the way, all those who believe how horrible Christianity and Islam and so on have been on the world, forget one thing. Nearly 100,000,000 were murdered, in the last century alone, under Communist rule than in under any other -ist or -ism (Nazism, which, by the way is socialism, came in second).
As for the anti-christ, they say they proudly killed Jesus (PBUH) and he is boiling in semen, do your research and find out what "religion" states this.
This story needs to be broadcast far and wide!
Since Senator John McCain was not born "in the United States" he is not a natural born Citizen of the United States and therefore is not eligible to the Office of President.
It's really quite simple, and only needs further explanation because the general consensus of politicians and the media has been to duck the issue. All evidence supports the conclusion seen in the topic sentence. Sources that support this conclusion include the U.S. Constitution which is the supreme law of the land, The Naturalization Act of 1790, The Naturalization Act of 1795, and the Hay-Bunau-Varilla Treaty ratified for the construction and operation of the Panama Canal Zone.
John McCain was born on the sovereign territory of the Republic of Panama to U.S. citizen parents. McCain is a United States citizen due to parentage, not naturally by reason of birth on U.S. soil which is a basic constitutional requirement.
The ineligibility of John McCain to serve as president may not prevent his run for the office. However, he cannot hold the office. If he were elected president, legal challenges would be inevitable.
Without an amendment to the U.S. Constitution, it is unlikely the Supreme Court of the United States could rule in McCain's favor except by legislating from the bench. The more conservative side of the Republican party has typically represented the case for separation of powers with a louder voice than the more liberal side of the Democrat party. Have conservatives been gagged?
The sidestepping of this critical issue in the media, by the politicians, and the political parties is alarming and may lead to a national crisis in the event of a McCain win in the general election.
The Naturalization Act of 1790 that changed the definition for natural born citizen to include parentage was repealed by the Naturalization Act of 1795. Since then the constitutional requirement has not again been broadened to include parentage in the definition of natural born Citizen.

Oh, yes I am supporting Obama as the only intelligent politician in the running, certainly the only one with the discipline to study facts and actually change his mind when he finds the facts support a different understanding. Most of you are voting for him because you can dimly understand that, but unfortunately, very dimly. As for Islam? It’s the religion that needs to conquer, that’s not a matter of debate, that’s a matter of fact. Facts ladies and gentlemen, but don’t let them ruin your opinions, it’s too late to learn, or learn to think. Unlike Rev Parsley (where are Rosemary and Sage?) I do understand that there is no defeating 1.2 billion people who follow a totalitarian religion, but we could separate from them. totally. Christianity is not the terrorist, as you could understand if you speak to the Chinese this week, Islam is, and it is all over the world. It’s based on war and terrorism, and subjection of conquered peoples, that’s it’s History and it’s theology. I am not a Christian, but I well understand that the Christian Jesus and the Muslim Mohammed are not even faintly comparable, Jesus did not take 9 year olds as wives, slaughter Jewish Tribes who would not accept his new religion, nor did Jesus fight wars. Judaism doesn’t need the world to be Jewish, all nations have a part of the world to come, as do all righteous. It’s only Islam that must conquer, by it’s theology and it’s History.
It’s just so useless to try and communicate with the dim witted who will not even check their facts.
All said individuals (up to, and including, the Republican nominee for president) will inherit are worms and dust! GET A LIFE PEOPLE, it's the only one you'll get (unless, of course, you also believe in reincarnation).
"if you replace the word Islam with Christianity. There are examples (the Crusades, Salem Witch Trials, the Inquisition, Christopher Columbus...) that fit right in with the tenets of Christianity, or at least those who practice it. "
Actually if you bother to read the Gospels or Paul, Tim, you would find that you have no case at all. Islam is in it's very structure a religion of expansion at any cost(Sort of like the George Bush Regime). But you have read neither the Qu'ran nor the New Testament, Have you Tim? The Salem Witch trials, were very unchristian, and were regretted within the life times of the those involved. The Crusades were a response to the Muslim invasion by force of the Christian world and the forces of islam were finally turned away at the gates of Vienna in 1669, but don't let the facts of History confuse you Tim... You obviously know nothing of the Tenets of Christianity which is very sad for someone whose name is Tim.
Your final piece of foolishness:
"All religions preach intolerance on some level. All religions are pernicious. As are generalizations."
All Religions are pernicious as are all generalizations ? Really Tim is that why you flunked remedial Logic 101? All religions teach intolerance? Hopefully there was no institution anywhere which awarded you a degree Tim, as you should not have even passed Junior High History. The intolerance I see is your intolerance for facts, possibly because you have yet to read anything but fiction and the funnies, certainly you know nothing of any religion. Hopefully you will not have children that you can pass your deleterious genetic load to.
I wish instead of educating yourself through exposing yourself to propaganda, you read original creed of Islam in Quran where it states:"No compulsion in Religion"Quran:2:256
Christianity is now safe to ignore (for the most part at least).
The Quran and associated books are too open to interpretation because they are written in Arabic, and Arabic words have many translations.
This ambiguity and the lack of a centralised semi-controlled hierachy of religious leaders will continue to create "fanatical" followers.
I don't know if there is anything that can really be done about this.
to become Muslims ?
little that he know that we believe in Christianity as a great religion,we also believe in Judaism as a great religion & both Christians & Jews are the people of the Book.
If you take this Man's speech and replace both word Islam & Muslims with
your own faith,How would you feel and what would you do ?
Thanks & Allah Bless America.
He is mad, the God of Islam is the God of Abraham and Moses, does he think he is going to make people forsake the instruction in The Koran, to defend, and to battle on with their wealth and their lives.
When Albert Einstein first introduced his Theory of Special Relativity with it's equation E=mc^2, it shook the science world with great intensity. It kindled many a brilliant minds to test the equation which eventually lead to the making of the most powerful and destructive device man has ever made, the Atomic Bomb.
Although this theory was first introduced a hundred years ago in 1905, many of this world's population still have no idea what that equation really means. To describe it simply, E in the equation means energy, m is for mass or matter and c signifies the word constant which in this particular equation has a value equal to the speed of light which is 300,000,000 m/sec.
This equation interest many scientists because it says that mass or matter can be turned into energy. Since man has been doing this kind of stuff turning matter (firewood) into energy (flame), one could not help but ask, what's amazing about that?
What makes that formula amazing is that it also means that the process is reversible and therefore, instead of the usual matter to energy conversion, it's the other way around -- energy can become matter. For the sake of illustration, it's like turning fire into firewood. Energy which is invisible can become visible by transforming itself into matter. Now, isn't that really amazing ?
That's exactly how those scientists received the formula or equation when they first saw it. It's like seeing magic without the inherent trick -- unreal but real. Before that formula was introduced, nobody had thought that something can be created "from nothing". With recent experiments using particle accelerators, it's been confirmed that energy can become matter.
Another amazing thing about this formula is that the constant is so big. Three hundred million multiplied to itself means 9 is followed by 18 zeros or 9 quintillion. If we don't know what that means, it simply says that every speck of matter even how light it is, packs or contains a very large amount of energy.
If a petal of a rose flower weighs 1 gram, it simply means that that petal contains energy equal to 90 trillion joules or equivalent to an explosive force of 21.5 kilotons of TNT. To give us a glimpse of how powerful that is, the atomic bomb which was dropped in Hiroshima, Japan has an equivalent explosive power of only 12.5 kilotons of TNT. It means that just a little over than half a gram of matter was really expended in that explosion. Yes, just over half of a gram of matter, converted into pure energy, had caused that city to be flattened. A single rose petal, if converted into pure energy, can destroy a big city. Can we imagine that? It seems unrealistic, but it's true.
At first glance, everything that has been said seems very impossible and that is why until today some "scientists" are still doubtful about this formula although based on many experiments, this equation never floundered but instead constantly agrees with all experimental results that has been done for the past 100 years.
The facts presented, although proven correct, seem to be unbelievable because our senses and frame of mind just can't fathom the idea that such a delicate and lovely petal or any object as light as that can contain such a gargantuan force.
If a mere gram of petal or matter contains such a huge amount of energy, how much more the whole universe? The amount of energy needed to form this universe is simply unimaginable and mindboggling. The real question is where did that infinitesimal amount of energy came from and what or who contained it before it took shape into a visible form which we now call universe?
In a more distant future, that question will be answered when in time, its Maker will take it back again. Everyone will know Him coz when He comes back to reclaim it, it would take the same amount of energy to take back what it took to form it.
The energy involved would simply be Immeasurable and Awesome !
So awesome that no mass or matter would be able to withstand it. They would simply explode all at the same time into nothingness and it's not going to be quiet coz they will create the loudest noise or the Biggest Bang! this whole universe can blurt out. It would be somewhat like a "universal" praise, by which all matter or elements seem to shout in unison, and exclaim, "HAIL TO THE KING !!" and at the same time a call to all the people of all generations of the earth, dead or living, saying "AWAKE !!! , FOR THE BRIDEGROOM IS COMING !!!".
It will be a time when all the people born in this world would realize the true meaning of the word, ALMIGHTY !!!.
********
" And I saw a great white throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven (universe) fled away; and there was found no place for them."
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God ..."
"And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."
"...and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever. "
Revelation 20 :10 -12 & 15
********
I feel sorry for those who believe that man is a "developed" monkey which simply implies that man has no soul and therefore is not answerable to any spiritual God. I feel sorry for atheists who can't see God in little creations like that of a lovely rose petal and clueless of the fact how it could transform into a terrible wrath capable of crushing a big city. They never know that the God of Love can become a God of Wrath and that hell could be a place 9 quintillion times hotter than what one can bear.
I also feel sorry for people (owners, models and production staff) who uses sensual ads or gimmicks just to sell their wares not knowing that the money they gain is so cheap in exchange for their souls to be burned forever.
If we think that God is not capable of burning souls forever, He gave us that illustration of the rose petal that we might think of His words not only once or twice but more than 9 quintillion times.
Albert Einstein once said that, "God does not play dice". That statement is true as shown in his brilliant equation E=mc^2 But many people missed the real point and that is "God is not kidding".
"Alas, alas, that great city, ... for in one hour is she made desolate". Revelation 18:19
How can a big city be destroyed and made lifeless in one hour? The answer is in Einstein's equation but the Bible stated its forthcoming use two thousand years earlier.
"...Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tonque shall consume away in their mouth". Zechariah 14:12
God did not lack in warning the world. His warnings were written thousands of years beforehand. He's not requiring us to climb the highest mountain or swim the deepest sea to be saved. He just wants us to listen.
But not to false religions in which some of them tell their flock to eat "holy" biscuits to take away their sins; or kill "infidels" to be rewarded with 72 virgins in heaven; or teach that cows are sacred but consider other people as outcasts or "untouchables"; or teaching evolution that man came from monkeys or is it the other way around?; or teach that there is no God or Maker and that their eyes or brains just pop up in there just because there's a hole or cavity in their head.
So foolish and yet billions of people believe in them. I just can't help but recall Jose Rizal's words when, in frustration, he said "Oh, what blindness, what lack of understanding !" and the words of God when He said "...thou hast tried (or tested) them who say they are apostles, but are not, and hast found them liars. " (Revelation 2:2). (Both statements refer to Catholicism but they could also be applied to all false religions and beliefs coz they are all blind and liars.)
Einstein's equation when used as a weapon may be so terrifying because of its destructiveness but it's just a foretaste of what God is really capable of coz once His final Judgment to unbelievers is rendered, there will be no words to describe it but the word, unbearable.
What's frightening about a swift destruction is that God is denying all these people a chance to say the simple words, "I'm sorry" before they die. It means that the Lord has given up on them and deny them that one last chance for salvation. Bang! and it's all over.
But God is really not that unmerciful. This gospel would be preached around the world one last time and much louder before that appointed hour of desolation will come.
Let us not wait for that last minute and deny all those people the chance to say those simple words. Help ring aloud the warning bells before its too late.
This may be their one last chance. Pass it on.
I am a Muslim but truly love anyone who upholds Christ's teaching 'do unto other.. etc. Or Mohammed's teaching "Love for others what you love for yourself." This man has given fear mongering another name. Why can't he preach Christ's love? Is he really a Christian? He should join the army, Fallon has fallen and Bush needs a replacement. Endless wars and forced occupation. Thank God we still have hope for America reading from the posts here. Let true America stand up PLEASE. We all belong to human race.
Now which Religion has an history of violence again??
Read your bible recently?? Saw the violence practised by Jesus, Son of Joseph??
Say again???
Communism.
I beg to differ from your opinion. If you would take the time to read his life history he was far from a warmonger. He was a man of peace; please read his life history. Yes he did engage in battle but only when the fight came to him.
With this statement, what you are saying is that the 34,000 people who converted to Islam since Sept 11 are war mongers. Please get your facts straight.
We see on a daily basis how peacful the Islams are. Killing more innocents than combatants. Many of which are fellow Islamists. Just ask Salman Rushdie how forgiving and peaceful they are. He was forced into hiding for his life just for writing a book.
What do you know about Islam.
Stupid like you can never feel anything than gathering people in front of you.
Forgot who won in the crusade.you want one more crusade may the god give you age to see that.
I want you to make a correction Islam against harming people.
Muslims are portrayed as extremists only because of following the true path from the only god.
Will you be quite when you are outraged from your home and homeland.
Or will you be quite when your sisters are being raped killed by this [deleted]ing.........
All you can think about is raping and killing. You are a less than a dog.
As to which religion is more violent. At least the Christians realized the error of their ways and no longer call for the death of "infidels."
Matthew Yglesias (and others) tried to say Hagee was a racist anti-Semite because Hagee had said that (and I'm paraphrasing) Jews have brought their troubles, including the Holocaust, on to themselves because they didn't follow the laws God provided. Where would Hagee determine that? If one actually reads the Old Testament, it consists of mostly an admonishment of Jews and their punishment by God for not following the laws God provided. One has to conclude then that the Old Testament, written in the Hebrew language by Jews, is racist. I think not. Nor does it make Hagee a racist. Hagee's opinions about the travails of the Jewish people isn't a view I share, but he is in no way a racist. And neither is Parsley.
Again, Obama supporters Farrakhan and Wright are racists.
But one does have to wonder about his judgment, about whom he links with.
Excerpt:
Christopher Columbus
by
Thomas C. Tirado, Ph.D.
Professor History
Millersville University
Granada:
The next event that influenced greatly the life of Christopher Columbus was the fall of Granada in 1491-92. For Christian Spain, the conquest of Granada was the most important event in the 15th century. After nearly eight centuries of fighting, the Christian Iberians finally defeated the Muslim Iberians. On the 2nd of January, 1492, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella rode into Granada as conquerors. At their side sat a disconsolate Columbus. While others who had accompanied the Catholic monarchs were rejoicing as they watched the symbols of sovereignty pass to the Christians, Columbus sat dejected. Shortly after the ceremony he rode off to La Rábida monastery nearby to nurse his bruised ego. What had happened a few days earlier in the royal military camp during the final assault on Granada, was that a committee of experts had rejected Columbus’ pleas to secure royal backing for his “Enterprise of the Indies.” After years of waiting, Columbus had grown impatient for an endorsement. Yet, it would only be now, after this long endeavor to rid the country of Muslim invaders, that the king and queen could begin to think about affairs other than the war and give Columbus the attention he craved.
Just google it.
its matter of time when the victims show up and face their predator
Keep in mind, Parsley was a HUGE supporter of Ken Blackwell, the extreme righty that was the repug pick for Ohio governor. The good news: Blackwell got one of the worst political beatings in the state's history.
But will they do a profile of this guy? Or Hagee? No more than they have exposed Baptist, Evangelical, Catholic, or Mormon churches that have actively and publicly campaigned for Republicans.
Muhammed (PBH)left Mecca for Medina because of oppression. in Medina he was
asked by Allah to fight does who fight against him and the new faith he brought.He fought the Jews because they join paggans of Arabia to root him and his fellowers
By the way: if this guy is your spiritual advisor, you might jst as well flsh yourself down a toilet now.
Unfortunately, many evangelicals consider rational discussion to be the "tool of the devil" because it might mislead people who believe in the Bible.
Pastor Hagee, McCain's strong supporter, for instance,calls the Catholic Church the "great whore" and blames it for the Holocaust of the Jews under Hitler.
So the Pope invites WESTERNERS -- including atheists and evangelicals and yes, Moslems, to rational discussion.
Not eradication. Leave that to God.
If you substitute the word "christian" or "America" into his speech about "Islam" and "Muslims" -- you have word for word -- a speech that could have been written by an al Quaeda spokesman on a video.
It is often said that extremists in one camp help reinforce extremists in the opposite camp. The two are mirror images of one another.

Yet the say Jesus is there God but do They live like lived
Even lucifer himself came on earth to destroy Islam he is still struggling and trying now some humans fool want to try it. Well i wish them good luck and hope to see them soon ;-)
God's plan is to let idiots destroy each other so the remaining righteous ones like Parsley could rule this earth.
Islamic Arab countries which ban Christianity in their places are dangerous. And so are other countries which fully believe in evolution like Europe and communist countries like Russia and China.
If you don't believe it now, you'll believe it soon coz it's coming. 911 is just a sample and it ain't over yet.
Shiite Muslims believe the Mahdi, a descendent of the Prophet Mohammed, vanished in the middle of the 9th century.
Cantrell told us, "The 12th Imam disappeared, around the age of 9, with a promise that he would return and he would bring Islam to its total fruition as the WORLD'S LAST STANDING RELIGION"
Enter Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Since becoming the president of Iran in August 2005, Ahmadinejad has emerged as the Mahdi's most influential follower.
Cantrell said, "He [Ahmadinejad] has stated that his mandate is to pave the way for the coming of this Islamic ‘messiah’."
In almost all his speeches, Ahmadinejad begs Allah to hasten the return of the Mahdi. At a recent military parade attended by CBN News in Tehran, Ahmadinejad said, "Oh, Allah, please facilitate Imam Mahdi's early return and make us one of his supporters."

Maybe you should start believing in things that are real, not fairy tales you have been indoctrinated to believe.
