"United Church for
Christ, A Church In Bed With Hezbollah"
Dear Doves,
All that's needed for evil to triumph, is that good men do
nothing. Many of us have heard this quote many times, but the
sad reality is that here in America our pastors, educators,
politicians and community leaders have gone from merely inactive
members of the audience to openly complicit accomplices.
Thats right; mainline (midstream) ostensibly Christian churches
have become money laundering agents for terror groups like
Hezbollah and other terrorist entities. University professors
have chosen sides, indoctrinating and warping the minds of our
children with such anti-American, ungodly and hateful rhetoric
that many will turn their backs upon their country, church and
families.
Many of you will recall that President Obama attended one of the
largest south-side Chicago megachurchs for more than twenty
years. This church is a member of the United Church of Christ
(UCC) formerly pastored by the outspoken racist Reverend
Jerimiah Wright. Wright's sermon's have included such vitriol
and open hostility toward this country that he was quickly
whisked out of state to avoid anymore public exposure for a man
who advocates the Black Liberation Theology. This teaching has
been called 'anathema and another Gospel' by the wide majority
of Evangelical Christian pastors across the country. Even a
denomination that ordains openly homosexual pastors quickly
announced Wright's move out of state to a lower profile church.
An angry Rev. Wright would have none of it and returned to
Chicago and announced his retirement. Below, I give you a
Jews thoughts about complicity and evil. Enjoy
Agape,
Mike Curtiss
Complicity With Evil

One might think that leading opinion makers in Western
civilization, journalists, authors, academics, clergy and
pundits would stand aghast and in deep condemnation of any
society or organization that acted like “the Gambinos on
steroids;” but somehow, when it comes to Hezbollah, one would be
wrong.
A New York Times article of December 13 revealed, for the first
time in US mainstream media, Hezbollah’s complex involvement,
deep cooperation, and in some cases partnership, with
international crime cartels, Columbian drug smuggling
organizations, international gem smuggling, and Mexican street
gangs. Hezbollah’s motivation for involvement in these illegal
endeavors, despite its name “Party of God” and despite its
stated goal of creating a society on earth that carries out the
will of Allah, is its need for clean money.
Hezbollah’s main sugar daddy, Iran, is in financial turmoil.
Syria, its secondary sponsor, is in political and economic
collapse. Hezbollah needs money, so it has expanded and
innovated in its global web of criminal activities in order to
finance its terrorism and its preparation for war. But it needs
clean money. Hezbollah’s global money laundering schemes take
drug money and auto theft profits and turn them into clean,
usable cash to pay salaries, buy what Hezbollah needs to support
its charitable endeavors, and underwrite the purchase of weapons
and of militarily strategic property in Lebanon, especially from
Christians.
The New York Times is neither a Jewish nor a Zionist newspaper.
In fact, its owners in bygone years openly expressed their
antipathy to Zionism, an antipathy so strong that they stood
silent, in passive collusion, as Nazi Germany annihilated
Europe’s Jewry, lest the Times’ exposure of Nazi crimes before
and during World War II might lend support to Zionist calls for
a Jewish state (see Laurel Leff”s Buried in the Times: The
Holocaust and America’s Most important Newspaper, summarized
here). One can thus be confident that its exposé of
Hezbollah is accurate and not merely Zionist propaganda.
So the Times’ revelation of such a list of illicit gains,
criminal activity and partnership with criminal gangs ought to
make Western supporters cringe and announce the withdrawal of
any support they may have given, reverse any supportive words
they may have said. But so far neither Noam Chomsky nor Norman
Finkelstein, both outspoken lionizers of Hezbollah, has done so,
nor have any of the academics on public record for expressing
support for Hezbollah and describing them as brave and noble
“freedom fighters.” Muslims are divided today about the
legitimacy of funds to Hezbollah, but world-wide many still
continue to contribute to charities that may be, or have been,
operating as fronts for Hezbollah.
But in addition to the mafia-like activities, including but not
limited to the drug dealing, gun running, auto and gem theft,
and money laundering mentioned above (and see here, here, here,
and here for other exposés of Hezbollah’s criminal
activity), Hezbollah is known to have kidnapped, tortured, and
murdered American officials in Lebanon and elsewhere since 1982;
used terrorist attacks for assassinations that involved the mass
murder of innocent Arabs; engaged in armed robbery; launched
terror attacks on American and other European soldiers stationed
in Lebanon at the request of the Lebanese government; used
assassinations and intimidation and threats of violence and
terrorism to undermine the government of Lebanon; and become a
dominant terrorist state within the state of Lebanon and now
dominates Lebanon.
So even God-fearing Muslims who understand Islam to be a
religion of peace and tolerance should blanch at Hezbollah’s
long list of criminal and terrorist activities, many of which
harm Muslims, and deny them any support or sympathy.
But in addition to the above, there are aspects of Hezbollah’s
ideology that should brand it a rogue state-within-a-state
incompatible with 21st century sensibilities.
Its extreme brand of Shi’ite Islam seeks to re-instate Shari’a
law as a legal and political system, a system that submits all
non-Muslims to dhimma, a form of religious apartheid suppressing
all non-Muslims, universal to all Muslim states until the 20th
century; and to create a legitimized form of gender apartheid
relegating women to the bedroom and kitchen, on pain of extreme
and cruel punishments such as acid disfigurement, beheading, or
stoning.
Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, has demanded that Muslims
engage in suicide bombings in the USA to kill Americans; and
part of Hezbollah’s extremist Muslim ideology includes making
Islam supreme in the world and bringing Western civilization to
an end.
So Christians of all denominations, without any commitment to
Israel, and even those who feel antipathy to Israel for whatever
reason, ought to be horrified by Hezbollah’s criminal
activities, terrorist tactics, violent strategies, apartheid
social ideology, supremacist religious ideology and long-term
triumphalist goal of Islamic world domination, goals for which
terrorism and mass murder and criminal actions are all
justified, according to Hezbollah’s ideology.
Yet we hear no words, witness no deeds, at least on the level of
public expression, from all but a small number of Christian or
Muslim individuals or institutions; and, not unexpectedly, those
in the West who have in the past expressed their support and
sympathy for Hezbollah, identifying it as a noble
freedom-fighting organization engaged in legitimate resistance
against an obdurate and vastly more powerful enemy, have as yet
made no acknowledgement of the obvious contradiction between
supposedly good and noble people fighting for their rights and
these same people engaging in evil crimes to achieve the evil
goals of genocide and world domination.
So why are most of the world’s Muslims silent before the evil
words and murderous deeds of Hezbollah? Can they all be
intimidated by threats of retaliation from Hezbollah and those
who share its goals? Or do some otherwise peaceful Muslims
secretly share Hezbollah’s goals?
Why do so few Christians and Christian churches speak out
against Hezbollah’s crimes? Why are so many silent or overtly
supportive? Can those who support Hezbollah hate the Jewish
state more than they love their Jewish Savior?
In light of the New York Times’ exposé, no journalist, no
academic, no pundit and no holder of public office can honestly
claim ignorance; and none have any excuse to remain silent. Yet
they are silent.
Incitement to genocide is evil, attempted genocide is evil.
Apartheid and oppression and lust for world domination — all
evil.
Hezbollah is evil. It speaks evil, it does evil and it promises
more of the same evil and worse without end until Israel is
destroyed, its Jews annihilated and all “global unbelief,”
Christian, Jewish, Hindu and whatever else, is reduced to
dhimmitude.
Silence in the face of evil is complicity. Complicity with evil
is evil.
