Clergyman stokes controversy and calls Islam a "cult" on radio''[Blanket criticisms of Islam] do not reflect the sentiments of my government or the sentiments of most Americans. Islam, as practiced by the vast majority of people, is a peaceful religion, a religion that respects others'' - President Bush
Remarks on a radio show about his views on Islam may cause conflict for a Pompano Beach minister who is well-known in Republican circles.
The Rev. O'Neal Dozier, a Broward clergyman who has advised President Bush and is a political appointee of Gov. Jeb Bush, took to the air waves Friday to criticize Islam as a ''cult'' religion.
The radio appearance by Dozier, who serves on the governor's committee that screens Broward judicial nominees, startled a local Muslim leader, and prompted the governor to immediately distance himself from the statements.
Reached later in the day by The Miami Herald, a contrite Dozier said he was ''concerned'' his comments could jeopardize his position on Broward's Judicial Nominating Commission. But he did not disavow those comments.
''The Islamic religion in my view is a cult,'' Dozier said Friday, when asked to recap the controversial comments he made earlier on The Steve Kane Radio Show on WNN-AM 1470. ''On the show I said that Islam is a dangerous religion.'' Jeb Bush ally slams Islam

And, he's immediately silenced.
The Pastor at my church did a message on comparitive religion one Sunday. When he talked about Islam, he pointed out that Islam is "violent in nature, and that it is a "religion of the sword."
All good, right?
Well, I sent him a articles from Australia and the UK about Pastors who was jailed for saying the same thing, and he never acknowledged them.
In my opinion, the Christian church had better start standing up for the fundamental rights of Western Civilization or they deserve to be jailed for their dhimmitude.
I have been deeply disappointed in my Pastor because he refuses to stand up for Western Civ, and he refuses to make a clear statement against the wildfire of anti-Semitism.
It has gotten so as I do not want to go to church anymore.

I know the feeling!
''I am concerned about the criticism in that I don't see where my personal opinion should cause an uproar in other people's hearts,'' he[Dozier] said.
Well, anything critical of Islam results in an uproar--a much greater uproar than Muslims' beheading people. Just look at the cartoonifada!
I don't look for the churches to wake up to the reality--maybe not even when the crosses come down and the minarets go up in their place. Most mainstream-Christian ministers are deeply steeped in multiculturalism and even anti-Semitism. And the training now begins in elementary school!
Of course, The Rev. Mr. Dozier is "telling it like it is." He is 'spot on'! Unfortunately in this day of weak politicians and weak clergy persons, in this day in which political correctness is supreme, the truth is sacrificed regularly at the altar of making everyone feel good, no matter how ignorant or despotic or wacko they are. BRAVO, Mr. Dozier for "telling it like it is." Please don't back down because these political and ecclesiastical idiots try to bully you into being as insipid as they are.
