In a vaguely related article that purports to highlight potentially “false” converts from radical Islam, the author quotes the MRFF’s Michael Weinstein in a provocative statement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

With the U.S. engaged in active combat in the heart of the Islamic world, Weinstein believes Christian fundamentalists in the U.S. military are actively promoting terrorists-turned-Christians — with potentially deadly consequences.<\/p>\n

“These guys are spewing Islamophobic hatred, and the Pentagon laps it up. This is the kind of prejudice and bigotry that can lead to genocide,” said Weinstein.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So Weinstein is suggesting that someone — American military Christians? the Pentagon? — is leading the way to “genocide?”\u00a0 Weinstein leaves no clue as to how he jumped to such a melodramatic conclusion (though perhaps he believes it will be committed by the “shadow government” the MRFF believes<\/a> is actually running the country).\u00a0 Insane conspiracy theory though it is, it isn’t the first time he has made the accusation.\u00a0 From 2007<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In Plan A, evangelical Christians with a smile on their face will ask you to please, please, please accept their biblical worldview of Jesus. The problem with that is, inevitably, Plan A morphs into Plan B. They stop asking so nicely, and then you have the Holocaust, the pogroms, the Inquisition…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Weinstein sees a Christian plot to take over the world around every corner, and his own “Christianophobic” comments are replete with unsupported, hate-filled diatribes against Christianity.\u00a0 It would seem his accusations are more a form of projection than observation.<\/p>\n

The article closed with CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper saying:<\/p>\n

“As long as you attack Islam and demonize Muslims, you’re going to get a platform,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if your facts and background are wrong.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Given Weinstein’s history of demonizing Christians, the irony in that statement is amazing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
