Holocaust denier Mahmoud Ahmadinejad delivers his alternative message on the second holiest day in the Christian year.
All Prophets called for the worship of God, for love and brotherhood, for the establishment of justice and for love in human society. Jesus, the Son of Mary, is the standard-bearer of justice, of love for our fellow human beings, of the fight against tyranny, discrimination and injustice.
All the problems that have bedevilled humanity throughout the ages came about because humanity followed an evil path and disregarded the message of the Prophets.
Now as human society faces a myriad of problems and a succession of complex crises, the root causes can be found in humanity's rejection of that message, in particular the indifference of some governments and powers towards the teachings of the divine Prophets, especially those of Jesus Christ.
The crises in society, the family, morality, politics, security and the economy which have made life hard for humanity and continue to put great pressure on all nations have come about because the Prophets have been forgotten, the Almighty has been forgotten and some leaders are estranged from God.
If Christ were on Earth today, undoubtedly He would stand with the people in opposition to bullying, ill-tempered and expansionist powers.
If Christ were on Earth today, undoubtedly He would hoist the banner of justice and love for humanity to oppose warmongers, occupiers, terrorists and bullies the world over.
If Christ were on Earth today, undoubtedly He would fight against the tyrannical policies of prevailing global economic and political systems, as He did in His lifetime. The solution to today's problems is a return to the call of the divine Prophets. The solution to these crises is to follow the Prophets - they were sent by the Almighty for the good of humanity.
Jesus Christ wasn't just a prophet. Not to Christians. Jesus Christ was God come to Earth in human form. He lived a perfect life, died on the cross for the sins of mankind and rose again from the dead. To call him simply a prophet on the same level with Mohammed is an insult to Christianity.
As is trying to weave a narrative whereby the U.S. taking out an evil dictator and trying to establish democracy in a country which never had it with tyranny.
If Ahmadinejad wanted to display the peace and understanding of Christ, he could start with not denying the most horrific event of the 20th Century. He could stop threatening Israel. He could stop suppressing freedom in his own borders.
From Hot Air:
If it’s all about insight into “alternative world views,” why not just interview him and run it on Friday? Why give him the Christmas slot? There’s no way to read this except as a middle finger.
