ADL Blasts US Churches' Praise of Ahmadinejad

[Purveyor]

The New York-based Anti Defamation League has blasted a delegation of American church leaders for praising Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad following a recent meeting in Teheran, calling the move a "shameful betrayal" of Christian-Jewish relations

---

Leaders of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA had lauded Ahmadinejad as a pious and witty man.

"Ahmadinejad comes across as a very religious man," said the Rev. Dr. Shanta Premawardhana, NCC's Associate General Secretary for Interfaith Relations.

The NCC delegation to the Islamic Republic included leaders from Mennonite, Quakers, United Methodist, Baptist, Episcopal, and Catholic churches.

1. Ahmedinajad is a nut but the ADL are overreacting

there are just as many nuts in prominent public office in the USA that also talk to God on a regular basis. The reaction of the ADL is not surprising given the relation between Iran and Israel lately.

A shameful betrayal of what? A group of end-of-timers wanting to nuke the middle east. At least that seems to be pass for Jewish-Christian relations nowadays.
