Obama's faith adviser likens Pat Robertson to bin Laden

WND ^ | May 31, 2011 | Aaron Klein

President Obama's faith adviser, Eboo Patel, likened television evangelist Pat Robertson to Osama bin Laden, calling both "totalitarians" who worked collectively against coexistence.

The statements by Patel mark the latest in a series of controversial remarks by the faith adviser to be reported by WND, including comments against the U.S. and Christianity.

In February 2010, Obama named Patel to his Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.

Patel, a Muslim activist, is the founder and executive director of Chicago-based Interfaith Youth Core, which says it promotes pluralism by teaming people of different faiths on service projects.

[Bed_Zeppelin]

Totalitarian-- 1. of or pertaining to a centralized government that does not tolerate parties of differing opinion and that exercises dictatorial control over many aspects of life. 2. exercising control over the freedom, will, or thought of others; authoritarian; autocratic.

Not a big fan of Pat Robertson but this guy is off the mark here. Eboo whispering into Obama's ear and being linked to William Ayers is not a big surprise.

Always keep in mind, when people like Patel, Obama, Wright, Pelosi, Ayers, et al, speak they are talking about themselves. They have no empathy or understanding for other people so all their statements about others are projections of the bogeyman living in their own heads.

[RichInOC]

Um, no. Not every word out of his mouth or pen is necessarily the best-considered ever, but no. For obvious reasons.

Don’t have time to vet the rest of the list but we can pretty much guess their credentials...liberals in their politics and religion.

SEAN HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

Catholics for Marx [Liberation Theology]
By Fr. Robert Sirico
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, June 03, 2004

In the days when the Superpowers were locked in a Cold War, Latin America seethed with revolution, and millions lived behind an iron curtain, a group of theologians concocted a novel idea within the history of Christianity. They proposed to combine the teachings of Jesus with the teachings of Marx as a way of justifying violent revolution to overthrow the economics of capitalism.

The Gospels were re-rendered not as doctrine impacting on the human soul but rather as windows into the historical dialectic of class struggle. These "liberation theologians" saw every biblical criticism of the rich as a mandate to expropriate the expropriating owners of capital, and every expression of compassion for the poor as a call for an uprising by the proletarian class of peasants and workers.

Here’s how it works:

The Muslims vow to kill us all.

If we repeat aloud that the Muslims have vowed to kill us all, we are just as bad as they are.

So—to be a good little apparatchik, you don’t just die but you must die silently.

Hey. I’ve got an idea.

(um, some other time)

Wallis is additionally a communist who passes himself off as a Christian of some sort. But he’s a communist and has been one since the halcyon days of the “counter-culture,” a KGB invention.

Yes, “Rev” Jim Wallis, Obama’s new pastor, is a Liberation Theology/revolutionary communist like Wright.

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine
Monday , May 5, 2008
FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]

(some key excerpts)

["(Jose) Diaz-Balart is the son of Rafael Diaz-Balart y Guitierrez (a former Cuban politician). He has three bothers, Rafael Diaz-Balart (a banker), Mario Diaz-Balart (a US Congressman) and Lincoln Diaz-Balart (also a US Congressman). His aunt, Mirta Diaz-Balart, was Fidel Castro's first wife."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jose_Diaz-Balart]

JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.

I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."

REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."

SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

And obama claims to not be a moslem. Then why does he have a moslem advisor?

[Texas Eagle]

President Obama's faith adviser, Eboo Patel, likened television evangelist Pat Robertson to Osama bin Laden, calling both "totalitarians" who worked collectively against coexistence.

So-o-o-o-o-o, is this a compliment or a criticism?

[hattend]

1. Why does a President, any President, need a “faith advisor”? Whatever the heck that is.

2. Is it a paxpayer paid position?

3. Really, Hussein... a Muzzie advisor?

[Twinkie]

I guess it isn’t too much of a stretch until Patel & Obama start categorizing ALL Christians with bin Laden. The next step will be that, logically, then if bin Laden was killed then committed Christians should be dispatched as well.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***Eboo Patel***

Patel eh? Isn’t there a No-Tell Motel somewhere he needs to be managing?

[StonyBurk]

My faith advisor (the Apostle Paul ) compares Obama to Esau.(Romans 9:13) —or perhaps to that one spoken of in the Scripture as having been “a liar and the father of it.”(John 8:44)

[Emperor Palpatine]

Bin Laden was a terrorist and a mass-murderer.

Pat Robertson’s just a feather-brained kook.
