“AME a front for Nation of Islam”

The AME church was founded (1787) and existed for a long time before the Nation of Islam. It’s basic religious tenents are Methodist. It is primarily a Black Church because it’s founding was by freed Blacks in the Methodist Church who opposed racial discrimination the Methodists were not taking a stand against at the time.

Why do you call it a “front for the nation of Islam”.

And a front for the DNC. It was an AME church where DA Fani Willis complained she was being targeted because she is African-American.

Many stupid white liberal regular Methodists supported Mugabe. To put that support singularly on AME Methodists is inaccurate. Some of the honest ones among them came to regret their being duped by Mugabe’s words versus his intentions.

Another example of the success of the American Left’s selling it’s antisemtism in the Black community.

AME anti-Israel stance make them simpatico.
Yeah, it’s not overt, but the inclination makes for a fertile recruiting ground.

Maybe I didn't make it clear enough.

I'm saying I don't like the U.S. funding other nations, including Israel. I'm okay if we sell them weapons or such. But we're too broke to be giving away money. And we have no business picking sides and being in other wars anyway.

However, the argument from the AME church on why to cut aide to Israel is invalid. Them calling Israel the mass genocidists is a flat out lie based on the usual hatred of Israel that's way too common among the left, including leftist leaders in, unfortunately, leftist churches.

Does that clarify what I meant?

They are coming across as anti-Jewish in my mind. They sound racist to me.

Isn’t time that churches which engage in politics lose their tax exempt status?

Churches are supposed to be beacons of truth and God’s word.
AME needs to apologize for spewing false charges and get itself back to the path

Well now you know!
I always got a similar vibe like you about this denomination.

They clearly forget basic Scripture out of the convenience of their pride and worldly things.

Their mission statement reads like heresy.
