I wouldn't get so legalistic as to even try to answer that question, kind of like 'how many angels do you think can fit on the head of a pin?' It is very common in the christian world for people to make such accusations even against each other. How many christians have you heard say that the catholic church in Rome is of the devil? Listen to any christian talk show and you will hear christians saying that the teachings of some other christians are false or from the devil or satanic. So, I wouldn't worry about such statements from one man.

It bothers me more that some people, like you, question the christian faith of these people because they are arabs or because they're oriented towards being opposed to israel in this struggle. You called them 'christians' as if they're not really christians.

Therefore I, the Christian Palestinian, say in all rage and daring to the Christians of the world: You are loathsome! You are contemptible! You are cowards! – because you cannot carry the message of Jesus in your hearts. The message of Jesus is one of love, sacrifice, mercy, life, and manhood, and these Christians of the world have no mercy, no compassion, no manliness, no sacrifice. I do not mean only towards us, but even towards the Jews, as not only do the Jews kill us – we also kill them, because we are in a war of self-defense…

We – and I say this brutally, because he who remains silent is Satan – are facing the filthy Christians of the West.

In defense of Michael I would say these Christians are sad representatives of the faith I profess. I am indeed loathsome and a coward as I have not prayed as much as I could have on this day, and I do not completely love God and my neighbor to perfection.

And yet I recall, Blessed are the peacemakers, and oh, btw, Judge not....

This apparently passionate spewing of anger and name-calling I know to be of one origin only.

Quite a few in my own Church alone. However these people are enaging in a very un-Christian way, and I call them on it.

Well these people are not true Christians IMHO. Any one who calls the religion of our Savior Satanic, is not a true Christian either.

I have nothing against the Arabic race. I have a friend in my Church who is of Arab descent (admittedly he is white, but it would not matter). Most Arab Christians left those God forsaken wastelands long ago, millions of them live in the US. Thosen who are left have either converted to Islam outright, or changed their Christianity to suit their Muslim masters. So what's left is no longer really Christianity. This I have heard from my Arab friend and I trust him.
