All the talk about Obama’s minister Wright and his big mouth. But hardly a squeak about McCain’s extremist endorsers and guides. After the endorsement from one bigot, Hagee, which McCain was personally grateful for, comes Mr. Parsley, who wants to “destroy Islam“.

Here’s the video on LiveLeak.

Are we talking about DAJJAL?

Oh well, many in their heart and mind have wished and hoped to destroy Islam and its followers, it was tried during the time of Prophet sallalahu allai wasalam, and 1400 odd years since then. All they have succeeded is in diverting our attention from our belief and most important aspect Ibadah and following Quran&Sunnah.

They are Kaffir and expect them to be hostile to us, I care less what they wish, but just concentrate on what Allah and our beloved prophet wishes and expects from us. Do ibadah and make dawaah all that matters. Even if you leave for 100 years it is still a fraction.

That was actually interesting… what are his reasons for claiming that the USA was founded for that purpose? Or is he just being a fruitcake and taking the words out of the air?

Having endorsements from people who hate Muslims and Islam would earn candidates vote. Simple is that.

Parsley is a creep, even looks like a creep, and I apologize for him, as he lives in my state. :(

Wait, so my comment was deleted because I said “May Allah destroy him” in reference to this hateful pastor who blatantly called for the destruction of Islam? That’s pretty weird. How about this: Upon him be what he deserves :).

I think that they are both worse than each other. Both are coming with the same message. To spread democracy “crusade war”

Yes, the focus should be on McCain after the comments he made about bombing Mecca and Medina to find the terrrorists. With comments like these, I think the future of the presidency is bleak… What makes it even worse is that Obama made related comments like these against Pakistan. May Allah help us all… Ameen

Is it really that surprising that there are people like this in McCain’s camp? After all, this is the same person who hummed “Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran” (to the tune of The Beach Boys’ “Barbara Ann”). This is the same person who said that the U.S. may be in Iraq for the next one hundred years just as we have been in Korea for over fifty years.

Well, John McCain denounced Hagee, because Hagee is bigoted and said bad things about muslims and catholics. No wait, my bad, he said bad things about jews, so McCain denounced Hagee. It would have been very wierd in first case.

He denounced Rod Parsley’s endorsement yesterday as well.

These denouncements of his (denouncing Hagee and Parsley) are quite odd, as it seems that he actively sought their endorsements to begin with by attending events with them… hypocritical as always…

Reminds me of the aya,
“They seek to destroy the light of Allah with their tongues, but Allah will perfect His Light, even though the disbelievers hate it.”

That being the case that guy must be frothing at the mouth by now.

They are all of a same lot. Obama may be a little different then Mccain but they are all the tool of shaytan against the muslims. The only thing is that who is the lesser evil.
