On September 25, there will be a press conference and a rally outside the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City at 5:30 p.m. to protest the five Christian organizations that are welcoming Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Those organizations are the World Council of Churches, Religions for Peace, the Americans Friends Service Committee, Mennonite Central Committee and the Quaker United Nations Office; they are hosting a Ramadan fast-breaking dinner (Iftar).
Over 50 organizations have now joined the protest, which is being sponsored by Women International; see www.925rally.org for more information. Catholic League president Bill Donohue explains why his organization is participating:
“The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has secured evidence from 10 countries demonstrating Iran’s nuclear development activities. Because Iran is not cooperating with IAEA inspectors, the U.N. Security Council has thrice imposed sanctions on Ahmadinejad’s regime. The concerns are obvious: the Iranian president has said that Israel ‘must be wiped off the map.’ Moreover, Iran is now about to formalize its stricture on apostasy: this would mean certain death to any Muslim who converts. But none of this matters to the Christian appeasers who will greet him tomorrow.
“The most prestigious organization welcoming Ahmadinejad is the World Council of Churches (WCC). Its politics are so radical that its agenda could easily be endorsed by any Marxist atheist. It was not for nothing that Jewish interreligious leader Israel Singer once branded the WCC ‘the head office for the dissemination of antisemitic statements.’ Indeed, after Yasser Arafat died, the WCC stated that the Arab terrorist ‘came to the recognition that true justice embraces peace,’ something that many Israeli mothers must have found mind-boggling.
“To appease someone like Ahmadinejad is sickening, but for it to be done in the name of Christianity is enough to induce vomiting. We strongly encourage Catholics and others to attend the rally.”

Those aren’t Christians. Those are activist groups.

Sorry about the double post. I was having trouble posting.
I wish I could be there. I can tell you for a fact that the World Council of Churches is run of, by, and for leftist radicals.
Every group, religious groups included, has it’s percentage of gutless, cowardly, appeasing pacifist types. The losers mentioned in the article would have minced around the mulberry bush with Hitler if they had their way. Christian in name only is what they are, and nothing more. Pacifism is where you’re too gutless to stand and fight the enemies of God, and sit there while others sacrifice themselves to do so in their place.
WWJD ??????????
Bill Donohue needs to invite Sarah to his demonstration.
Marxist enemies of the success that has been the United States have made it a point to hide behind the facades of opinion-making institutions and becoming their spokespersons. In terms of their relationship to the values of the United Staes, there is no difference really in the goals of the organizers in these churches and those of the church of Reverand Wright.
Celebrating Ahmadinejad's hatred of Israel and America. This is as unhinged as the election is becoming. America is in more danger of self destructing now than it was in the 60's or the 30's.
“Mennonite Central Committee “
I grew up in a church that belonged to the MCC. Still does, as far as I know.
My former Sunday School teachers are rolling over in their graves. In spite of the churchs no-war stance I was raised and taught to respect and admire Israel.
I’d like to welcome him with a very swift kick you know where and have fellow FReepers join me in the festivities. It makes me sick that AhmadinJIHAD was even allowed on U.S. soil in the first place!
Is there a list of the names of the appeasers anywhere? I suspect that I know one personally.
Well said...they are spineless nutcases.
