McCain's Pastor Problem: The Video

In a taped sermon, the preacher McCain calls a "spiritual guide" calls on America to see the "false religion" of Islam "destroyed." Still, the candidate won't reject Rod Parsley's endorsement.

Thu May 8, 2008 12:00 AM PST

According to Parsley, there's no coexisitng with Muslims. He tells the tale of a Christian man who once dared to sell land to a mosque rather than to a church—an ominous sign that Christianity is losing the struggle against Islam. "You need to understand today" who was responsible for 9/11, Parsley nearly shouts. "Muslim Islamic fundamentalists and extremists are what did that, and your government and politicians and preachers want you to snuggle up next door to them and allow them to build a mosque next door to your church, while you sing hallelujah."

The preacher paints a dark picture:

Islam is growing rapidly and is becoming more violent. America has historically understood herself to be a bastion against Islam in the world…History is crashing in upon us...Americans need to wake up...We can tell you...Britney Spears' lyrics to her latest CD. But we don't know anything about other religions...'We ought to just all get along'...'We shouldn't say anything about other faiths.' Excuse me. Excuse me. The fact is that Americans are woefully ignorant of other faiths. This is not only tragic. But when it comes to Islam, now the greatest religious enemy of our civilization and the world, it's dangerous.

The problem, Parsley insists, is not radical Muslims who have hijacked a faith, but the religion itself:

I must state three important truths...No. 1, the God of Christianity and the God of Islam are two separate beings...Mr. Bush, I support you. You need to stop saying that the God of Islam and the God of Christianity are the same God...No. 2, Muhammad received revelations from demon spirits, not from the living God. No. 3, Islam is an anti-Christ religion that intends, through violence, to conquer the world. Did you get those three truths?

In a long riff, Parsley maintains that Muhammad was tricked by a demon into believing that he had heard the word of God. Thus, he asserts, the entire religion of Islam is based upon a satanic deception: "Muhammad was tragically beset by a demon which he mistook for the living God. He thus became a mouthpiece of a conspiracy of spiritual evil...There are so few who will talk about [this]."

But Parsley is willing. And he also readily offered McCain his endorsement during that February 26, 2008, campaign rally in Cincinnati. At the event, McCain extolled Parsley for his "leadership" and "guidance." Since then, McCain aides have said that the senator's acceptance of Parsley's endorsement was not an endorsement of Parsley's views. And they have dismissed any comparison between Reverend Wright and Reverend Parsley, noting that McCain has never attended a service conducted by Parsley. But imagine if Barack Obama had campaigned with an imam who had called for destroying Christianity. A media and political uproar would ensue—with wide-ranging calls for Obama to condemn the imam.

McCain has also refused to reject the endorsement he received from the Reverend John Hagee, a Texas-based televangelist who referred to the Catholic Church as "the great whore" and a "false cult system" and who called Hurricane Katrina retribution from God for the sins of New Orleans' homosexual residents. But Parsley may be the more politically crucial pastor for McCain. McCain probably cannot win Ohio in November without the support of large numbers of social conservative voters. In 2004, Parsley, whose megachurch boasts thousands of members, led so-called values voters to the polls, where they helped propel George W. Bush to victory over John Kerry. If McCain were to repudiate Parsley, he would risk losing Parsley as a surrogate and, perhaps worse, alienate his flock. So McCain has ducked, keeping quiet about an anti-Islam extremist who repeatedly proclaims in sermons, "I will be silent no more."

Where is the Main Stream Media now at one of John McCains Cookouts. The shame of the media and its protection of our Great war HERO is unbelieveable . They crucified Obama for months for the same thing.

This man is GREAT. It is about time somebody starts speaking out publicly about the Islam Religion before they destroy the Christian World. This religion must be destroyed.

But what about the fact that Rod Parsley is absolutely right in nearly all that he said? I do not stand with with him on the part about the U.S. being established for the purpose of eradicating Islam. But the rest of his stand comes right out of the Bible. If you have a problem, with Pastor Parsley, then you also have a problem with the One who wrote the Bible from which he so accurately preaches. I do not support him on everything, but he got this one right!

By the way, he did not attack Jews, he merely stated the truth that it was the Jews who motivated the Romans to convict Christ, and they are indeed responsible for His death. He only told the truth. He loves Israel, but that love does not change the truth.

Prophet Jesus? You just slammed my Savior. He is more than a prophet. The Bible declares Him to be the Son of God Himself. Watch your own bigotry while accusing others.

I am always amazed at how those who say that are Christians--which means to be Christ like--display so few of Christ's characteristics. This blatant intolerance flies directly in the face of what Christ came, lived, died and was ressurected to change. The two greatest commandments are to love the Lord and to love your neighbor. I don't Think Parsely is behaving in a loving way. Maybe deep inside he has more fear than love.

Rod Parsley is 100% right problem is there 's for to many naive people out there, only when they attack do we retaliate who besides the Japanese attacked the USA on our turf? Islamic terrorist thats who. They didn't attack only once but on 2 occasions and once terrorist was caught at the Canadian border. This is far from a peaceful religion they are serial killers under the guise of religion. Wake up people get your head out of the sand before its too late

Number one Paster Parsley is not McCain's Paster but only an endorser where Reverend Wright was Obama's mentor and Paster for 20 years there a big difference in influence people. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that there is a huge difference between the 2 Reverends and the influences on the candidates

I don't know Rod Parsley that well as a preacher, but from your own film, his sermon is right on about Islam. Who do you think are troops are fighting in Iraq and around the world? Islam!! We don't hate the people of Islam, we hate the sin Islam teaches, its false doctrines to kill. Islam and Christanity are fighting for survival. History as that pastor has said, proves this over and over. Don't cover your face in the sand and pretend that Islam is a peace loving religion. The sand your in is covered with the blood of innocents crying out different.

Whoever Shirley is, is right. Everyone thinks its people we are rising up against as christians. Its not. Its the Islam religion that says: Kill all infidels whereever you may find them. That means, and is a threat to all the people (you and your family) who will not convert to Islam. Islam is the danger, and people who cover themselves believing that to speak against this radical group is wrong...Wake up world. Before its too late. Pray for the people, innocently beguiled, but yes, Stand up and be Counted as ones who really know what Islam wants. World dominion. ONe world religion (does this sound familiar?) It should! Its one of the signs from the time of the anti-christ!!!

I have to say that I believe in the destroying of Islam. Though we do have to protect ourselves and our neighbors if we can from those who wish to harm, Christ did not preach one of violence. It is love. I am not a peace loving hippy but you cannot take it too far on the left or the right. We have to do what is right but it does not mean sit back and take it. I am a conservative and have a problem with McCain not denouncing this man, please don't think that I like McCain, but right is right.

First line was supposed to be "I don't believe in the destroying of Islam." Sorry.

no profile pic for comment author

Understand this... when this pastor is speaking of the destruction of Islam he is not talking about a people, he is speaking about a spirit. The spirit of Islam is what caused 9/11 to happen and we may see more if we don't get back to God for his protection!

So let me see if I have this correct. McCain has an Islamic hate monger in his camp, the Islamic world knows it, and McCain feels comfortable he'll keep America safe and be a world peacekeeper. Are you friggin kidding me?

This video is so one-sided. This country was founded on Godly principles, based on The Word of The Living God (Christ Jesus). We should not be naive enough to believe that the Muslim faith is the same as the Christian faith. They can not even agree with each other, without killing one another. Moreover, they believe that killing a Christan is perfectly sound doctrine. We better begin to listen to some of the Preachers in America that are trying to warn our country, regarding the Muslim religion!

It's painfully obvious McCain should be campaining against religous extremism in all shapes and forms and proposing a constitutional amendment for mandatory psychological treatment for those afflicted.

To hear that a man with McCain's background would listen to a FALSE PROPHET like Rod P. is very hard to believe and scares me...I pray that Obama wins.

My comment is pretty simple.... If one cares to actually study the history of the Islam religion one will easily find its violent history from its conception. People in every region, that it now dominates, were converted by force... convert or die by the sword. " Radical islamist" are not radical but rather fundamentalists to its true nature. Call me whatever you want but one thing you cannot call me is a liar. As for Rod Parsley, he has worked tirelessly on behalf of the African men women and children being enslaved by muslims in the country of Sudan.... a place where nearly 15 million Christians have been murdered by "peaceful muslims" in the past 30 years, and are still unrepentant. To compare Mc Cain's relationship with Hagee or Parsley with that of Obama with Wright is stupid... you are stupid!!! Wright was Obama's pastor and MENTOR for 20 years, McCain has never been in either of those men's churches. Shut up with stupid ignorant uneducated speech you are hurting my ears.

please...peaople the very nature of God (Jesus of the bible) is to reject all other religions and serve him only. As do all religions believe that the other is false. So the problem is?

What a crazy lunatic. Another case of a white male christian, like those that lynched black men and raped black women, and who continue to be the enemy of black peoples all over the world. And some may bw surprised that he has 5500 faithful believers, as well as John McCain and his ilk, but I am not.
This is the reason black men all over america are arming themselves to protect themselves and their families from another wave of your white christian violence that caused the deaths of black, brown, and red people throughout this land and in the world.
Tell Parsley to bring it on. We are armed and ready. In fact, maybe the bu[deleted]e doctrine of preemptive strike may be in order here.

I see no difference between this crazy preacher and a Muslim extremist. Today, I have changed my mind, and I do believe that in any religion there are some extremists who are playing dirty games.

I am pretty convinced that the Left thinks that evangelical Christians line up unequivocally behind every "Bible" preacher out there. I had no idea who Parsely was until a few days ago when all of this hit the fan. I have been a Christian for over 20 years, know the Bible fairly well, and have much knowledge and experience in the Church. So I am not a neophyte.

I think Obama has a much more difficult time distancing himself from Wright--as he attended his church for over a decade, Wright married he and his wife, and baptized his children. Osama is now finding his association with Wright to be unexpedient whereas before it was an asset. So, it is now time to move on.

I think the Left also needs to be very cautious about equivocating radical Islam with evangelical Christians. Although many Muslims distance themselves from the acts of atrocities of Osama and his acolytes, when is the last time an evangical Christian strapped bombs to a retarded individual and sent that person into a crowd of hundreds of innocent people an blew them up? Or crashed planes into skyscrapers killing thousands for that matter?

Dear Bam,

There is no use in trying to deny the wickedness of some whites toward blacks. Yet, how come black-on-black violence, sometimes over things as stupid as sneakers, doesn't provoke a similar and deserved wrathful response? Oh, I forgot, that is the man's fault too.

Mr. T R Miller, you are as ignorant as Parsely. September 11 attacks were an inside job, Muslims did not do it. Muslims are innocent victims of false propaganda by Bush administration and News Media. Christians and Jews started World Wars I & II. Christians killed a lot of Jews in WWII and Palestinians are being expelled from their home land and killed for No Reason. So, Mr. Miller and Parsely, open your eyes so you can realize that Christianity and Judaism are much more violent than any other religion.

You really need to spend a lot more time in your studies. Your eyes are truly closed to understanding of God's will and Islam. Parsley has done his homework but he does not advocate violence, for the war is not against flesh and blood but is a spiritual battle against principalities in high places.

wow...this is so twisted...Parsley has done his homework...the fact of the matter is that "Radical" muslims..hate christians...and thats just the truth...they take the Koran out of context and hate christians...this is why the Muslim government in Sudan is murdering thousands of christians per day unless they convert to Islam..this has been going on for decades...9/11 was b/c some radical muslims wanted to become martyrs....and their religion teaches them that this is how you do it. Blow yourself up and take some people with ya and you'll be in paradise....the thing is..not ALL muslims are radicals...some muslims are peaceful and dont believe in what their extremists are doing. And pastor parsley does not hate muslims...he hates the teaching...not the people...and unless you've attended his church..you probably wouldnt understand this b/c the media takes so much of this out of context...I've attended his church and his bible college...and we've spent countless nights praying for the salvation of islam..as well as all other religions...not spewing hate...but praying for them...that they would see the truth and help us to be examples to them and not hyppocrites...i do believe the church has failed when it comes to being "examples"...people have been made to feel like they have to look a certain way or do this or do that...the fact is...bible is bible...however the states to "come as u are" and christians need to get it together and stop judging one another acting their lives are all perfect...when the fact is, we struggle with the same things that the unsaved struggle with...the difference is that we have the Lord to lean on and ask for help and strength...we live in a broken world..and people are in need of all the love and truth that they can get...and that includes "us" christians...i do believe that Mccain shouldve done his homework when it comes to Parsley's beliefs...but Mccain just wants some votes and its really pretty sad...i can say that the war between Islam and other religions has been going on for hundreds of years and isnt gonna stop anytime soon...i support parsley though..especially when it comes to talking about an issue that most people are too scared to talk about despite the criticism that follows...the whole time i was at the church...he never preached hate...he only preached love...and i dont blame him for talking about it...especially if my family was on that plane on 9/11...or if that was my brother, or son, or dad, or cousin that got beheaded alive on national tv b/c some crazy radical muslims are told to do so by their koran...and people wanna get mad and offended b/c its talked about...i'm not just gonna lie down and let my fellow brothers and sisters get sliced open like animals being slaughtered...no value of life...all so i don't offend anyone...i'm not saying that i agree with everything that Pastor Parsley does...but this is one issue i totally support.

ISLAMOFASCIST AND JUDEOFASCIST SYMBIOSIS

The Islamofascists, in perpetual quest of greater wealth and power, rant to incite the impoverished Islamic peoples to violence against the notorious injustices of the powerful Judeofascist land robbers. The Judeofascists, in perpetual quest for greater wealth and power, wail and lobby to incite the American People into providing military protection against this persecution by outraged Islamofascists. To add credibility to these rantings and wailings, intermittent battles are performed. The result is that these clever Islamofascists and Judeofascists do gain great wealth and power, at the expense of the Arab, Persian, and American peoples.

The great sacrifice of the wealth and blood of the American People on behalf Israel is all that perpetuates this destructive symbiotic relationship between the Islamofascists and the Judeofascists. But when, in the normal course of the American Cultural War, the Neo-Cons/Neo-Libs are finally expelled by the Reagan Conservatives and Kennedy Liberals from their positions of power, the economic and military support for the Judeofascists will finally end; and that will end the support for the Islamofascists. The end of the era of Neo-Con/Neo-Lib military intervention in the affairs of the Arab and Persian peoples shall be the start of an era of constructive relations with the American People.

The Judeofascists, who live in a glass house surrounded by Islamofascists, continue fight for survival politically and militarily, until nuclear armed Israel finally becomes the site of Holocaust II; or, they could offer a sincere apology, and economic reparations for the stolen land, damaged infrastructure, and losses of innocent lives; to finally win for themselves by just and peaceful means, what they cannot win by unjust and violent means.
Shall the World be cheering, and the Diaspora wailing; or, shall the World and the Diaspora be cheering?

I personally could never get riled up about the things Rev Wright said. But this is disgusting. This is a man trying to get people to actively harm Muslims, a man trying to wage a war against people because of their religious beliefs. Rev Wright was just crazy; this guy is hostile AND crazy.

All of the conflicts between Muslims and Christians in the modern world are political, not religious. And Allah is just the Arabic word for God, used by Arab Christians as well as Muslims, so if you're a Christian swearing at Allah, then you are a moron. Shut the [deleted] up.

Zionist Commando Daniel Lewin Orchestrated the 9-11 Terrorist Attacks.

His Troops Stole Arab Identities While MOSSAD Agents in Hollywood, Florida Assassinated Mohammed Atta and Framed Him for the Crime.

The Dancing Israelis
On September 11, 2001, five Israeli army veterans were arrested by the FBI after several witnesses saw them “Dancing”, “High-Fiving”, and “Celebrating” as they took pictures of the World Trade Center disaster from across the river in New Jersey.

When the photos [taken by the dancing Israelis] were developed, they revealed that the dancing Israelis were smiling in the foreground of the New York massacre. These Israelis also had in their possession the following items: Box-Cutters, European Passports, and $4700 in cash hidden in a sock. The investigating officials told the Bergen Record newspaper of New Jersey that these Israelis were in some way linked to the 9-11 attacks.

Having established that Israelis have committed acts of terror against Americans in the past, we can now easily deduce the reason why those five dancing Israeli agents who celebrated the 9-11 attacks were so happy is because they knew that Americans would now become unconditional supporters of their “Israeli ally” and fanatical haters of Muslims.

The state of Israel has a long history of covert operations against Western targets with attacks on the King David Hotel, USS Liberty, murder of a Scandinavian UN envoy as well as espionage against the US during the Jonathan Pollard case.

The Israelis worked for a Weehawken moving company known as Urban Moving Systems. An American employee of Urban Moving Systems told the Bergen Record that a majority of his co-workers were Israelis and they were all joking about the attacks. The employee, who declined to give his name, said “I was in tears. These guys were joking and that bothered me.“

A few days after the attack, Urban Moving System’s Israeli owner, Dominick Suter, dropped his business and fled the country. He was in such a hurry to flee America that some of Urban Moving System’s customers were left with their furniture stuck in storage facilities. The five Israeli army veterans (MOSSAD agents) were held in custody for several months before being quietly released. Some of the movers had been kept in solitary confinement for 40 days.

Immediately following the attacks, the Zionist controlled media was filled with stories linking the attacks to Bin Laden. TV talking-heads and scribblers of every stripe spoon-fed a gullible American public a steady diet of the most outrageous propaganda imaginable. Bin Laden strongly denied any role in the attacks and suggested that Zionists orchestrated the 9-11 attacks.

Hours after the 9-11 attacks, authorities began to find clues conveniently left for them to stumble upon. The Boston Globe reported that a copy of the Quran, instructions on how to fly a commercial airplane, and a fuel consumption calculator were found in a pair of bags meant for one of the hijacked flights that left from Boston Logan airport.

Authorities also received a “tip” about a suspicious white car left behind at Boston Logan airport. An Arabic-language flight training manual was found inside the car.

How fortunate for the investigators that the hijackers “forgot” to take their Quran and Arab flight manuals with them! Within a few days, all “19 hijackers” were identified and their faces were plastered all over TV screens.

Then, like a script from a corny “B” spy movie, the officials story gets more ridiculous. The passport of the supposed “ring leader” Mohammed Atta, somehow managed to survive the explosion, inferno, and smoldering collapse to be oh-so-conveniently “found” just a few blocks away from the World Trade Center.

It is obvious that this “evidence” was planted by individuals wishing to direct the blame towards Osama Bin Laden. How is it possible that Arab students who have never flown an airplane could take a simulator course and then fly jumbo jets with skill and precision of “top-gun” pilots? It is not possible and the fact is, the true identities of the 9-11 hijackers remain a mystery. In the days following the disclosure of the “hijackers” names and faces, no less than seven of the Arab individuals named came forward to protest their obvious innocence.

That’s right! Seven of the nineteen “hijackers” are alive and well. They were victims of identity theft, some of whom had their passports stolen. They were interviewed by several different news organizations, including the Telegraph of England.

The story of these identity thefts was also briefly reported by ABC and BBC (England). The FBI does not deny this. Nobody denies the fact because it is easily verifiable. Instead, the US media and government just ignore this inconvenient fact and keep right on repeating the monstrous lie that the hijacker identities are known and that 15 of them are Saudis.

CNN revealed that FBI director Robert Mueller openly admitted that some of the identities of the 9-11 hijackers are in question due to identity theft.

The agents of Israeli Intelligence Agency MOSSAD are well trained in impersonating others. For example, in January of 2000, Indian Intelligence officials detained 11 members of what they thought was an Al Qaeda hijacking conspiracy. It was then discovered that these 11 “Muslim preachers” were all Israeli nationals!

India’s leading weekly magazine, The Week, reported: The eleven members had Israeli passports but were believed to be Afghan nationals who had spent some time in Iran, and they have been in India for two months. They were identified to be Israeli nationals from the West Bank. According to a Central Intelligence official, Israeli government exerted a considerable pressure on Indian government to secure their release. They were on a mission to Bangladesh.

QUESTION: After reading the above article, DO YOU still believe that Muslims are responsible for the 9-11 attacks?

To promote a book like Mr. bugliosi's you are a insult to our military forces, intelligence agency's,And our "Commander in Chief" Stick to worrying about your Go Green. This Great Country was created by people who founded By people who fought and died for freedom. Freedom is not Free, I come from a Military family. You don't worry about freedom others provide it for you and you complain. If you don't like it move. Our military are fighting for a people that have never known freedom. The President went on What the FBI and the CIA. and other foriegn intelligence agency's told him. Congress and the Sentate voted. Your free speach was created buy our founding Fathers. Instead of critizing our country and what it stands for. "Freedom",look at other country's some don't even know or have never known what it is. I guess we need Jimmy Carter in the whitehouse with hamas as his cabinet. If these country's like Iran got a nuclear weapon. Then we can talk about global warming. There will be no Earth to worry about warming. You people don't get it. If our country is such a bad place why are people tring to get in. I have seen them beg to stay or we have given them asythem. So they would not be killed by there own country.

Unfortunately, President Bush and his Advisors are destroying the "Freedom" of Americans with foolish policies. These politicians are not serving the Americans, they are serving the "Free Mason Organization". This organization was established about thousand years ago and its founders are "Cults" from different parts of the World. The mission of this organization is to takeover the World. At this time, they are controlling every country in the World. President Bush and other high ranking politicians and military personnel in America are agents of the Free Mason Organization. This organization does not caare about Freedom, Democracy, and other nice things. If you look at One Dollar Bill, there is a Pyramid with One Eye on top of it. This is the "Symbol" of Free Mason Organization. What is this symbol doing on the currency of Free and Democratic country? Think about what are these politicians doing to Americans. By the way, the new name of this organization is "Council on Foreign Relations".

The shear ignorance and biasness of American Journalism never ceases to amaze me! First of all you people probably really know nothing about what muslim's really believe anyway! Oh let me guess you read the koran a couple times, or some publication, or no wait you know a muslim and they aint so bad after all right! Wrong! get your facts straight then report something worth even talking about! Study their agenda through out history and you might be surprised. As Shocking as it may seem if you really look at the comments of these two precious men of the one true God, you will find that there really not so off beat after all! The problem with America is out of control bias media and journalism!! Anyone can sit back and point fingers at a situation, but try being a part of the solution for once in your life! Oh and good luck with that Obama guy, real winner there. Gonna solve all this nation's problems right? O.K. let me know how that works out for everybody.

Why are you supporting Islam? Is there anything Parsley said that you can disprove? Isn't Islam dangerous...even to it's own people? The reason you have your train of thought against Pastor Parsley is because of ignorance. Jesus said, "My people perish for lack of knowledge" and he also said "touch not my annointed". I would be very careful of saying things out of ignorance. And yes, God is a God of love, but did he not destroy whole sects for the worshipping of other gods? He is a jealous God and wants no nother gods before him. One other thing, Pastor Parsley doesn't hate the person, they are blinded, the religion itself is another story. We have different names for churches here, because we don't all believe the same, but it is the same GOD. There is no other God...Jesus Christ. And lastly, I doubt that any of you could go face to face with Parsley and prove him wrong...you would be speechless in less than 5 minutes, and that's why you're able to blast him on blogs. I wonder if you're aware of the danger of all the sleeper cells...endangering your way of life as you know it and your families. I wonder how you would feel if you lost a child or mother, brother , wife, etc. because of the belief in this religion. They're here, and we better hope that God has mercy on us, regardless of our inability as a nation, to hold on to the core of our existence...thank God for the intercessors, the people of prayer, that's what will bring us through, well, those of us who believe, anyway. It might pay you to look up the Islamic religion and study what it has brought to the world and its own people, what it tells its people they will be rewarded for killing others, namely us. God bless Parsley and Hagee.

The Columbus, Ohio based Lahore Ahmadiyya Islamic Society publicly invited Pastor Parsley to debate the merits of his views on Islam. Unfortunately, rather than "silent no more", the Pastor has been completely silent in response to this excellent opportunit to explain exactly what he believes and why. Check it out: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2008/6/prweb988134.htm.

Rod Parsley is hesitating to accept the invitation because his statements about religion Islam are totally wrong.

Parsley is a mouthpiece of violence and ignorance.

There are four known scriptures in the history of mankind.

1. Revelation to King David (Prophet David) is called "Zabur".
2. Revelation to Prophet Moses is called "Torah".
3. Revelation to Prophet Isa (Jesus) is called "Ingeel".
4. Revelation to Prophet Muhammad is called "Quran".

A long time ago, Christians and Jews put together Scriptures of David, Moses, and Jesus to create a new book which is called "Bible".
But, when they put together these three scriptures they did the following:
1. They deleted some portions.
2. They changed some portions.
3. They added some "Man Made" portions.

Because of these changes, Bible is not a scripture. Bible is not a "word of God". That's why Christians and Jews are misguided people. They are far away from the truth.
