Re: Islam Explained in Layman's Terms

This belongs in the Religion debate forum.  It has little to nothing to do with politics.

Your "quote" of Leon Uris is from a fictitous novel that the wrote.

Rev. Peter Hammond Exposed, A Judeo-Christian War Enabler Uncovered by His Own Financial Supporter

Charles E. Carlson Nov 2, 2003

We print this expose? only because there is a larger and more sordid scandal yet to be exposed.  Hammond, and dozens more like him, have preyed upon the people of Sudan as war fodder with their claims used to milk and bilk thousands of well meaning financial contributors out of many millions of American dollars. These dollars have produced misery for many of those who were supposed to be helped in Sudan .  It has also probably swelled the well hidden international accounts of men like Hammond and his father-in-law accomplice, Missionary Bill Bathman, who has covered for him shamelessly.   

The greater abuse that We Hold These Truths has worked to expose since 1997 is the death, poverty, and loss of homes and future security of millions of Sudanese.  Hammond has falsely condemned Sudan as an anti-Christian hell.  Mailorder Missionaries have probably done more to destroy the people of Sudan and its shaky stability than have the combined impact of US Sanctions, mercenary insurgency armies that are attempting to steal the country?s new oil reserves by occupying the Southern part of Sudan.  Even a recent grasshopper plague can probably be traced to US Sanctions prohibiting the importation of agricultural chemicals, as well as most necessities of life. 

Mailorder Missionaries Hammond is small financial potatoes, but he was one of the first vampires to raise money to fight the all but non-existent slavery in Sudan .  He, and others, who move among churches and profess to be ?Christians,? have produced the worst of Sudan ?s plagues because they have destroyed the credibility and hope of a poor country that is trying to pull itself up by its bootstraps with newly developed, and greatly coveted oil fields.  They have used the most damaging and ancient weapon condemned in the Ten Commandments ?false witness? to destroy a non-existent enemy that they themselves created as an excuse to raise money.  Theirs is a greater abuse than had they stolen the money for their own use. 

WHTT has exposed this in many articles that may be read on our website that expose how Mailorder Missionaries prey upon the goodwill of American contributors unknowingly fund war in Sudan.  Followers of Christ must confront their own religious leaders and demand that these stand against Serial Wars. Only then will the market for fraud in the name of Jesus Christ disappear........  (more at the site)
