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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

perhaps you are right michael; the term 'satanic' was certainly excessive. I hope that the 1 priest who used that term meant that only some were behaving in that way or something like satanic.

I certainly meant no insult to anyone as well.
