Nothing naive about it.

I understand that the website of his United Church of Christ church in Chicago has now been cleaned up and sanitized, and that Google has destroyed all the cached records. But before that was done, there were regular postings from vile antisemitic organizations at the web site. And much admiration for Louis Farrakhan. Most significant, it was clear that certain vile racist principles were taught there on a regular basis.

These beliefs, basic principles of the faith taught by Obama’s pastor, were: That Jesus and God the Father are black. That the Romans were evil demons. That Jews were evil demons. That only blacks are good. Jesus came to save blacks.

Obama’s pastor was originally a Black Muslim, and these beliefs are related to Black Muslim delusions—basically, that Muslims are the good guys and Christians are the enslavers of black people. The ignorance of history involved in such teachings is amazing, since no one has been more involved with slavery, including enslavement of blacks, than the Muslim Arabs. But such are their beliefs.

They are not far from the Muslim belief that Jews are apes and pigs who should be exterminated. (An alternative teahing is that Jews are apes and Christians are pigs.) What Barry’s church taught—and presumably still teaches when the press isn’t looking—is that Jews are evil followers of Satan, the killers of the Black Christ, who must be exterminated.
