Day Nine: No Straight Talk from McCain on Parsley's Call for Destroying Islam

Still nothing.

It's been over a week since this site broke the news that John McCain campaigned with (and accepted the endorsement of) a televangelist who has called for eradicating Islam, and McCain has not publicly renounced, rejected, denounced or disavowed the Reverend Rod Parsley, who is an important player in Ohio politics. McCain's campaign did tell Fox News that McCain does not agree with all of Parsley's views. But that's not much of a response to Parsley's call for a holy war to destroy the "false religion" of Islam. One could argue that Jeremiah Wright never went that far—and look what Barack Obama had to go through (justifiably).

McCain's campaign press office refuses to respond to a request for comment on this. He is trying to duck and cover. Not much courage there.

Why not destroy Islam?
Islam declared war on Western civilization in 632 and began prosecuting it in 623. Al-Taubah 29 (in the Koran)commands Muslims to fight Jews and Christians until they are subjugated and pay extortion. It has everything to do with the doctine proscribed in the Koran; the muslims are simply following orders. The goal of Islamofascism is a world-wide Caliphate.
Now, I know this is sure to give you leftie moonbats an aneurism, but this is what I would have done on 12 September 2001:
Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan (for starters) would have been leveled into asphalt parking lots. THAT is how you fight a jihad.
After victory is acheived in Iraq and Afghanistan, this still won’t be over by a long shot. And it won’t be, until all of them are dead or finally decide to worship their “Allah” in peace. As for me, I predict the former.

Rod Parsley isn't running for president, John McCain is. Jeremiah Wright isn't running for president Barak Obama is.

Lets focus on the issues instead of everyone the candidates have associated with. I have friends and relatives who are clearly racist who I would never want to have to publicaly rebuke.

I am so sick of this crap.

It is a fair question, I am glad you're not letting him off the hook.

What do I think Bill? I think you're both just as scary and the terrorists. Personally... I think people should be more afraid of cheese whiz and lightning... since both are about a million times more likely to kill you than jihad ever will be.

A McCain campaign aide actively pushed an incendiary, racially-charged video that uses the controversial words of Barack Obama's pastor to tar Obama as unpatriotic -- despite the fact that McCain himself has suggested that Obama shouldn't be held accountable for Wright's views.

The aide, Soren Dayton, who works in McCain's political department, has been suspended from the campaign, a McCain spokesperson, Jill Hazelbaker, confimed to me.

Bill/SFCMAC:

I am a Muslim. Do you want to destroy me?

You are sadly misinformed about Islam. The Qur'an instructs Muslims to defend their homeland, not randomly wage war on anyone. The real way to fight your idea of Jihad is to be fair and respectful. If you were an Iraqi, or Afghani, Syrian (or from any other of the nations you listed) you would be one of the extremist Muslims that you hate. Your words and opions speak in the same meter, only they don't rhyme.

This entire "story" line is childish indeed.
Mr. Corn "broke" the story of a respected pastor and author's comments on Islam from nearly *three years ago* - comments which have been frequently broadcast since then (and happen to be true).
Investigate Islam and you will see that if anything, Rev. Parsley and Dr. Hagee have not been emphatic enough about the threat Islam poses to this nation.
Perhaps you haven't received a response from the McCain campaign because you haven't yet said anything worth responding to.
