Trinity United’s Rev. Wright Supports Hamas in Bulletin Insert

Tom Blumer, whose blog is worth the read if you have never visited it, has discovered a dreadful bulletin insert that appeared in a bulletin at Trinity Church, written by a Hamas official, Moussa Abu Marzook. The article, was originally printed in the Los Angeles Times, expounds upon the terrorist group’s refusal to acknowledge the state of Israel to exist!

Obama responded publicly with comments in the Jerusalem Post saying,” I have already condemned my former pastor's views on Israel in the strongest possible terms, and I certainly wasn't in church when that outrageously wrong Los Angeles Times piece was re-printed in the bulletin.” As he has been apt to point out, Obama pointed out that he does reject some of the views of his long time pastor.

In a short introduction to the piece, Wright wrote, “Islam has as many manifestations as Christianity and Judaism but most Americans are only fed a media diet on Islam as it relates to the ‘war on terror’ and the Palestinian Muslim problem in the ‘state’ of Israel.”

Obviously, this is a pastor disaster! Thank goodness Rev. Wright retired, though I am uneasy about the current state of Trinity United as the Rev. Otis Moss III Easter sermon was dripping with innuendo and sarcasm. And finally, how do does anyone begin to understand what parts of the bulletin Obama reads and what sermons he supports?
