… and another thing

A second pastor jettisoned

May

John McCain rejected the endorsement of a second pastor this week—Pastor Rod Parsley of the World Harvest Church of Columbus, Ohio.

In February, McCain called Parsley a moral compass and a spiritual guide.

But, it turned out, Parsley had called Islam an anti-Christian religion that intended through violence to conquer the world.

“America was founded with the intention of seeing this false religion destroyed, and I believe Sept. 11, 2001 was a generational call to arms that we can no longer ignore,” Parsley said.

Late Thursday, McCain announced he was declining Parsley’s endorsement.

One Response to “A second pastor jettisoned”

The sad part is, I half-agree with Parsley. Radical Islam (as opposed to Islam as a whole) is a grave threat to world peace and security. We can only deny it for so long.
