If you can get a Masters in English, you can probably get a Masters from a divinity school.
The Doctor of Ministry degree sounds like a Doctor of Education degree, meaning you don't actually have to know something. You have to write about how to teach it (or in this case, preach it).
I doubt that divinity schools had MAs in “Islamic studies” 30 years ago. But it is possible.
Caution is required because bloggers like to make up stuff about Obama associates when the reality is plenty alarming enough.
"Yes, to be very clear. Donald Trump handled the questions that have Chris & Bill so excited, precisely in the most statesman like manner It was a splendid moment for Trump, if one fully understands the context.
"But before going into that, let me make it very clear. I am not anti-Muslim. I do not favor large scale immigration from the Near East, for the same reason that I do not favor large scale immigration from most places. We do not need new settlers; we do not need cultural diversity. But that is not directed against Islam. Yet none of that has really anything material to do with the subject of what happened at the Town Meeting.
"Trump's approach was not bigoted; not in the slightest. The article shows who was bigoted, and it is those "politically correct" crack-pots, who believe other people have a duty to stifle any thought with which those "politically correct" crackpots do not agree. (The defined category includes Hillary Clinton, and quite a few confused babblers, of which Matthews & Maher are perhaps among the grossest examples.)
"Stifling free expression is not the duty of a candidate; it is not the moral duty of anyone. It is, to be sure, the essence of the "politically correct" crackpot! And Donald has already, clearly distanced himself from the "politically correct" crackpots. In that, he is truly a breath of fresh air.
"Now Islam is not the issue, in dealing with this thread. Obama's upbringing, and ideological orientation, and the bases for all of that, are continuing issues, whether Matthews & Maher want to gobble something otherwise or not. And many Americans are not convinced that Obama was actually born here. Just who are Matthews & Maher to say that no one should be permitted to inquire into such subjects?"
Maybe in their... wherevers?
“Department of Justice - Trey Gowdy (Suggested by The Donald)”
Gowdy’s OK, but not as effective as I’d expected him to be. There may be somebody better. Mark Levin?
True.
