Rev. Vines called Mohammed a demon-possessed pedophile
The pro-Israel support of the Christian right in the U.S. makes some Jews nervous.
By Eliahu Salpeter
Fundamentalist Christian activists in America are setting up a campaign called "Stand With Israel" that is intended to work in concert with AIPAC, the main pro-Israeli lobby in the U.S.
B'nai B'rith in Canada has formed an alliance with Christians for Israel to encourage the Ottawa government's support for Israel. And the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is poised to allocate a significant share of its $30 million annual budget toward a pro-Israeli publicity blitz and provision of financial aid to Jews wishing to immigrate to Israel. Fundamentalist circles claim that George Bush's pro-Israel stand derives from his being a born-again Christian.
This bustle of activity by fundamentalist Christians has been garnering increased expressions of gratitude from Jewish organizational leaders. But, if truth be told, they are also to some extent embarrassed by the support. Most Jewish organizations in America have always been somewhat uneasy about the enthusiastic support for Zionism and Israel by the evangelist Christian right. The worldview of the fundamentalist churches, most of which are in the South, is right-wing conservatism, whereas the large Jewish organizations, which are concentrated in the Northeast and Southwest, support liberal ideologies and politicians. Most of the liberal Protestant churches (which constitute the majority in the U.S.) come down in favor of the Third World, a category that generally includes Palestinians and especially Palestinian refugees.

With nutcases like Vines, Falwell and gang it sure doesn't take a terrorism expert to see where the most dangerous hotbed of terror lies.... 98 million of US Evangelicals... how many potential terrorists among them? How many potential anthrax-blackmailers among them? How many Jesus freaks and Holy Rollers out there who won't flinch from terror to hasten the Armaggedon and the Second Coming of Mr Jesus?? You tell me....
