Two dozen Christian pastors in York County have joined together to publicly call on members of their faith to embrace Muslims as their brothers and sisters.
The Rev. Sam McGregor, pastor at Allison Creek Presbyterian Church near Lake Wylie, said he has jump-started the local effort because of recent threats against Muslims in the United States that came to light during the trial of Robert Doggart.
Doggart, a failed congressional candidate from Tennessee, pleaded guilty this month to plotting to kill Muslims who live in a religious community in New York. The FBI uncovered and stopped Doggart’s plan.
A similar community, called Holy Islamville, has existed in York County for nearly 30 years. Members of the local community have said they’re fearful for their own safety after hearing of Doggart’s violent plans in New York and learning that he tried to recruit people from South Carolina to help him.
“We have got to take a stand,” McGregor said.

Too often, Lingle said, people become self-centered and lose sight of Jesus’ basic teachings of love and peace. For some Christians, he said, they are more concerned about being “right” than loving their neighbor."
What a complete jackass. Let's act blindly and not concern ourselves with being "right".
And that's why Jesus drove the moneylenders from the temple with a whip, went to his own fleshly death and allowed Judas to hang himself, among many other exceptions to the Rev Lambert's self-righteous redefinition of the Christ.
The history of Christinaity has been changed to start with Martin Luther so the history of islamic hegemony has been obliterated. Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it.
Of course as Christians, we are to love all people, But these pastors are deeply confused about that means.
Where does the Rev. Lambert explain the part about the U.S. taxpayer being forced to fund government resettlement of muslim “refugees” among us by pay-offs to so-called Christian charities, and how much money is Rev. Lambert receiving from the U.S. treasury for his sanctimony?
I feel good to be a well armed Jew. These are the same pastors who love fudge packers and baby killers. They don’t have to worry about what G_D will say, as they are not headed his way.
Of course the koran forbids muslims to take infidels or Jews as their friends.
South Carolina pastors need to keep their flock from killing black folks.

Well Pastors its this way.
I would never belong to a death cult so I see no reason I would embrace anyone that does.
I can love the Muslims when they leave the US and go back home to the hellholes they came from.
He’s hoping the muzz will cut his head off last.
As soon as (i)slam endorses Christianity I will take it under consideration.
Loving people does not mean you ignore their folly. It means you show them their folly. CNN would never ever report it, but Christianity is growing in the Mid-East (so is atheism). Many are sick of the insane nonsense and looking for other possibilities.
Family and cultural loyalty are extraordinarily strong in that part of the world, and keeps them from making the break with Islam, but it happens more and more, despite the dangers.
We hear a lot about social and electronic media being such an avenue for ISIS, but the flip side is that there is a lot of mutual support going on in the same arena with new christians from muslim backgrounds. Those societies were totally closed before, the few christians utterly isolated, but that is changing. And there are some astonishingly committed christians in the region, more and more, they are “coming out.”
I’m not minimizing the threat, which is deadly serious, I just think it’s important to see the whole picture.
Free Will
It’s interesting the way socialists approach theological concepts but when it comes to Islam they are not the only ones who refuse to approach the issue. That even includes leading Christian clergy including Pope Francis.
Followers of Mohammed not only claim, but truly believe that God has authorized them to kill those who refuse to submit to their version of God’s will. That is a basic tenet of that religion. A claim which goes unchallanged. While it’s understandable for atheists which most socialists are, not to approach that claim on a theological basis. It’s bewildering why any Christian clergy refuse to admit it even exists and is a basic part of Islam creed and worse yet are unable to condem it.
The Koran which was not given to Mohammed by God but by some angel .Demanding enforcement of sharia law which draws heavily from the Torah.
Islam is a pseudo religious concoction using monotheistic selected texts, taken and misconstrued from the old .(bible) and new tertaments. Both of which cite the Almighty has granted free will to accept or obey his laws and is the final judge not man. Sodom and Gormora , “Let he who is without sin cast the stone” are outstanding examples from both books. One deals with sin and God’s decision toward a group the other to an individual, neither is left to man.
Yet followers of Mohammed under the severest of penalties are forbidden to read either the old or new testanments which would refute that assertion. Using a creed which institutionalizes disgusting arab tribal views, observances,and customs. Claiming adhearants are authorized by our Creator to demand submission to it or suffer an ignominious death administered by followers of Islam simply because they answer the call to prayer 5 times a day.
“If anyone does not love the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be accursed. O Lord, come!” 1 Cor 16:22
This guy and the others are attempting to lay all of the blame for muslim “intolerance” at non-muslims, ignoring the camel in the tent...
Sorry, but my perception and behavior towards mudslimes has been completely changed by their own actions...my attitude towards them is now locked in.
Love everyone. That doesn’t mean you have to like them or what they do.
Fear not. That doesn’t mean you don’t prepare.
you must not have seen the white Christian response to Charleston
