From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” “Mohamed is my continuing source of inspiration.”
THIS SEEMS MORE RELEVANT AS EACH DAY PASSES. ORIGINALLY WRITTEN IN JULY, I’VE PUT IT IN THE FRONT BECAUSE OF JESSE JACKSON’S STATEMENT IN FRANCE.
As I watch the news coverage of Barack Obama’s Middle East tour to Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel, I’m amazed by what I see. Not only does the press fawn over him, but also it never gets to the heart of the issue—Barack’s worldview. Coming from a twenty-year experience of learning from the teachings of Jeremiah Wright’s Black Liberation Theology, no one has asked hard questions about Obama’s core beliefs.
His campaign has positioned him as a champion of reconciliation, but his background—especially his association with Wright—would suggest otherwise. Black Liberation Theology has a decided anti-Semitic slant to it—one that Obama has embraced in his writings.
The foreign policy of the U.S.A. has Israel as a strategic partner. Not since the failed administration of Jimmy Carter has any president favored Arab nations over Israel. If Obama is our next president, which seems likely, our Middle Eastern policy may reverse, which certainly goes against the collective will of the American people and Israel’s as well.
More Tomorrow.
One thing the Bible teaches clearly is that those who oppose Israel – besides God Himself – will face the wrath of the Almighty at some devastating time in the future. And when one faces the wrath of God there is only one outcome.

It seems a bit out of line to me that a christian who in public announced Jesus as his savior and has chosen Joe Biden who is well known for his relations and backing of the people and state of Isreal would be such a threat! Conserning his book which you quoted I believe that the meaning you have brought forth is out of context and was subjectivly interpreted and deserves another look… I still remember the compassion you had for him when he left his old church and that like alot of us whom left our past abusive leaders and are trying to recover deserve a more supportive and positive nurturing.If you were to align me with my past abusive church I would be most miserable.Bad company corrupts good morals Jack and you will be hard pressed using Pushing Jesus for political purposes and expect any good to come from it. With all do respect to you and what you do I respectfully ask for your consideration to return to ministering grace to your readers. Ephesians 4;29-32.
Respectfully,

I knew i would catch it for re-posting the Obama material.
Mea culpa,
