Finally Rod Parsley Gets Attention

Brian Ross, the same one who broke Reverend Wright, is now breaking the story on Rod Parsley. Muslims have been making up conspiracy theories about how this proves the media hates Islam, that they refuse to cover Parsley. I have defended Rev. Wright before, and also criticized him, but Obama’s pastor was Wright while Parsley was just asked to endorse McCain. There is a big difference in media coverage, no offense.

Nevertheless, the fact ABC is covering this is a good thing. Anyone running for president cannot be around such people, and the very presence of a friendship between the two men serves as a recruiting tool for Muslim radicals.

Ross reports:

Al Moheet, a regional Arabic Web site operating in Egypt, carries the story with a picture of McCain and the headline: “McCain’s Spiritual Adviser Calls for the Destruction of Islam.”

“If there is a McCain presidency, he will start with a serious handicap in the Arab world,” said former CIA intelligence officer John Kiriakou. “And the handicap is that it is already assumed in Muslim countries that they will not get a fair shake from a McCain administration,” said Kiriakou.
