Not to nitpick, but that statement does not seem to be a direct quote from the minister, but the Daily Mail’s interpretation.
Further down in the article the minister is quoted as saying:
“My advice does not contradict the Bible’s eighth commandment because God’s love for the poor and despised outweighs the property rights of the rich.”
He specifically does not state that God loves the poor more than the rich.
Note that I’m not defending this guy in any way, nor do I agree with his sentiments. Just pointing out inaccuracy in reporting (from the Daily Mail?! Gasp!).

I understand that you do not concur with the minister but I would like to point out that he is not only promoting theft which is a violation of a commandment, he is also promoting the coveting of thy neighbors possessions. He promotes two violations at once.
Covetousness is the Communists core tool to manipulate people into living an ungodly lifestyle.
