United Methodist Church under fire for anti-Semitism — and also enables jihad terror

The political goal of the “Christ at the Checkpoint Conference” in
Oklahoma was to “flip American Christian support for Israel to the
Palestinians.”

 In the wake of the synagogue shooting last week in
Pittsburgh, activists from several mainline Protestant churches came
under fire for promoting a culture of anti-Semitism in their churches,
especially the United Methodist Church.


The worst offenders are usually activists affiliated with the
Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) and the United Church of Christ (UCC).
But this year, the activists and officials from the United Methodist
Church took on a leading role by hosting the controversial “Christ at
the Checkpoint Conference” in Oklahoma.

Anti-semitism in the churches is longstanding, and while most of
these churches are quick to claim that they’re apolitical, they are, in
fact, very political. They condemn Israel and embrace the jihadist
Palestinian agenda, claiming that the Palestinians are an oppressed
group. They apparently know nothing of history and nothing of the
jihadist agenda to obliterate Israel, as is articulated in the PLO,
Hamas and Fatah charters. Or they pretend not to know in the face of
charges of anti-Semitism.

The Christ at the Checkpoint Conference in Oklahoma is an offshoot of Christ at the Checkpoint Conference in Bethlehem. Some details of the latter’s cringeworthy record:

 In late 2010, Israeli tour guide Kay Wilson and her visiting Christian friend, Kristine Luken, were attacked by
Palestinian terrorists outside Jerusalem. Luken was killed and Wilson
suffered severe injuries. Wilson approached one of the CATC speakers
about speaking at the 2012 convocation, but was told that her story was
“not what the Lord wants”
, a phrase that is sadly abused by some
Christian leaders to exercise control — akin to a kind of spiritual or
psychological extortion — over the follower.
Wilson then expressed
dismay about “how any Israeli…. Messianic believer, could justify
participating in a conference that has chosen to associate itself with
theologians advocating Replacement Theology and Palestinian officials
with clear ties to recognized terrorist organizations.” She further
stated, “For any self-respecting person, and especially for Israelis
such as myself, the endorsement of terror by association, at a Christian
conference, is obscene.”

Obscene it is. Such churches not only embrace anti-Semitism, but also
empower jihad terror. Recently, the Palestinian Archbishop Atallah Hanna
called evangelical Christians “enemies of the Christian values” for
supporting Israel, and claimed that they “do not belong to Christianity
at all.”


“United Methodist Church under fire for anti-Semitism,” JNS News, November 1, 2018:

The political goal of the “Christ at the Checkpoint
Conference” in Oklahoma was to flip American Christian support for
Israel to the Palestinians.
In the wake of the synagogue shooting last week in Pittsburgh,
activists from several mainline Protestant churches came under fire for
promoting a culture of anti-Semitism in their churches, especially the
United Methodist Church.
The worst offenders are usually activists affiliated with the
Presbyterian Church USA (PCUSA) and the United Church of Christ (UCC).
But this year, the activists and officials from the United Methodist
Church took on a leading role by hosting the controversial “Christ at
the Checkpoint Conference” in Oklahoma.
The political goal of the conference was to flip American Christian
support for Israel to the Palestinians.

 The conference soon took on a
more sinister tone.

At one point, a speaker put up a slide of U.S. President Donald Trump
surrounded by three of his advisers. The speaker asked the audience
what was wrong with the picture.

Audience members answered that the problem was that they were Jews,
apparently angry that the American president had Jewish advisors
involved in the effort to achieve a peace deal.

Dexter Van Zile, a Christian scholar for CAMERA, reported about the
conference. He told JNS: “At the time, when the audience was complaining
about Jews in the Trump administration, I was disgusted at their
flagrant anti-Semitism. But now, after hearing that the Pittsburgh
gunman said the American government was ‘infested’ with Jews, I feel
more than shaken by how it echoes what I heard at the
Methodist-organized conference.”
“The notions of Jewish cruelty, corruption and infestation—those were
all themes at the conference,” said Van Zile. “It’s now, literally,
lethal rhetoric.”
The United Methodist Church’s struggle with anti-Semitism goes back several years…

PAKISTAN: CHRISTIAN ASIA BIBI IS FINALLY FREED!
Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi (Aasiya Noreen) was convicted of violating Sharia blasphemy laws after drinking out of a bucket used by Muslims. Bibi was sentenced to death. After spending eight years on death row, the Supreme Court of Pakistan overturned the conviction. Due to ongoing threats of violence, Bibi and her family must now seek asylum outside of Pakistan.

Pakistan: Christian woman imprisoned for years for blasphemy is acquitted, Muslims riot and call for her death

She will not be safe unless and until she gets out of Pakistan.
“Pakistani Christian Asia Bibi has death penalty conviction overturned,” by Sophia Saifi and James Griffiths, CNN, October 31, 2018:




Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN)Pakistan’s Supreme Court has acquitted a
Christian woman who has been on death row for almost eight years on
blasphemy charges.



Asia Bibi, a mother of five from Punjab province, was convicted of
blasphemy in 2010 and sentenced to hang after she was accused of
defiling the name of the Prophet Muhammed during an argument the year
before with Muslim colleagues.



The workers had refused to drink from a bucket of water Asia Bibi had
touched because she was not Muslim. At the time, Asia Bibi said the case
was a matter of women who didn’t like her “taking revenge.”



She won her appeal against the conviction and subsequent death sentence on Wednesday.



The court quoted Shakespeare’s “King Lear” in its ruling, saying Asia
Bibi appeared to have been “more sinned against than sinning.”



“Even if there was some grain of truth in the allegations leveled in
this case against the appellant still the glaring contradictions in the
evidence of the prosecution highlighted above clearly show that the
truth in this case had been mixed with a lot which was untrue,” the
ruling said….



Islamist movement Tehreek-e Labbaik had previously vowed to take to the
streets if Bibi was released, and protests broke out in Islamabad and
Lahore soon after the ruling was announced.



Within hours, the protests were large enough that government officials
in the cities were urging people to stay inside and avoid adding to the
chaos….

EXCERPT:
“The members of Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan are so determined that Asia
Bibi, the Christian woman who has been in prison for years on false
charges of blasphemy against Muhammad and has just been acquitted by the
Pakistani Supreme Court, face their vigilante justice and be killed
that they are blocking roads all over Pakistan, so that she is unable to
leave the country. These pious Muslims are avid to spill her blood, and
believe that if they succeed in doing so, they will be rewarded by
Allah.”
UPDATE NOVEMBER 4, 2018:

Pakistani government capitulates to rioters, 
bans Asia Bibi from leaving country, 
reviews her blasphemy acquittal


https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/11/pakistani-government-capitulates-to-rioters-bans-asia-bibi-from-leaving-country-reviews-her-blasphemy-acquittal;
EXCERPTS:
 “This deal is a disgrace, and is plainly, despite Fawad Chaudhry’s
denial, a capitulation to the rioters. Barring Asia Bibi from leaving
the country contradicts her acquittal — if she has committed no crime
according to Pakistani law, why are her movements being restricted? Even
worse, barring her from leaving the country grants tacit permission to
Tehreek-i-Labaik to hunt her down and murder her.


Pakistan is not an ally of the United States and has not been for a
considerable period, if, indeed, it ever was. The treatment of Asia Bibi
ought to be the occasion for the official ending of this sham alliance.”
