Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – “Do not send Haitian help-moneys to Obama!!”‏ Edition

p>Sadly, no, no , no.

The Co-operative Society has
severed its links with an evangelical charity whose leader in the
United States condemned Islam as a “very wicked and evil religion”.

Following
complaints from Muslim pressure groups and its own members, the Co-op
yesterday said it would no longer participate in Operation Christmas
Child, a project supported by thousands of schools, churches and other
organisations.

(…) the venture has run
into controversy. There was strong criticism when it emerged that
bibles and Christian literature were being inserted into gift boxes
sent to Muslim countries.

Those difficulties have been
exacerbated by comments made by the Rev Franklin Graham, the American
evangelical minister whose organisation, Samaritan’s Purse, runs
Operation Christmas Child.

During the dedication of a chapel in
North Carolina, one month after the terrorist attacks on the US on
September 11 2001, he said: “We’re not attacking Islam, but Islam has
attacked us. The God of Islam is not the same God. It’s a different
god, and I believe it is a very evil and wicked religion.” Asked to
justify his stance, he said later: “I don’t believe this [Islam] is
this wonderful, peaceful religion.”

(…)in a
letter informing the charity of its decision to withdraw completely,
the Co-op said the views of members and customers must come first.

“You
are aware that we have received a large number of complaints regarding
the comments of your trustee, Franklin Graham. Indeed, had we been
aware of his views in advance, we would not have participated in
Operation Christmas Child this year.It is unfortunate that our work
together has come to an end in this way, as the shoe boxes of
customers’ gifts will undoubtedly bring joy to many deserving children
this year.”

Yeah – those savages need water, clear roads and orthopedic surgeons, so let’s box up some bibles and send them right over. That ought to do it . Maybe you could throw bibles out of planes as they fly overhead?

p>“I believe God has blessed this program because it is about more than
Christmas presents… As long asevangelism
is the focus, God will continue to bless it.” – Franklin Graham

“Shoe box gifts are
distributed along withThe Greatest Gift of All, an
illustrated booklet that gives a clear presentation of the true meaning
of Christmas—God’s love and salvation in Jesus Christ. The booklet has
been printed in 65 languages.Local churches and ministry groups help
us deliver the gifts and Gospel booklets…” –The November,
2002, Samaritan’s Purse Canada Newsletter

“Our outreach to these children and their
families may begin with a shoe box gift but our ultimate goal is to
open doors to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and to open hearts to
receive Him as Lord and Savior.” – Franklin Graham

“That’s
one of the things about Samaritan’s Purse,” Michael, an OCC
representative, said. “It’s
not just about giving the boxes so the children can receive presents.
Giving the boxes actually evangelizes more than people think.”

“It’s
not just a big gift. It’s not just humanitarian aid.It is a tool for
evangelism so thank you for helping us evangelize our people.” – OCC
representative, Kosovo

“The
Pastors and members of the churches Operation Christmas Child works
through are excited about this program because it gives thema very
effective outreach tool.” – OCC Promotional Video

“That makes every shoebox packer a
missionary.“ – Grand Forks Herald, Sept 27, 2004

“We are in a Third World War… It’s a global fight against
Islamic fundamentalism” – Franklin Graham, Oct 17, 2004

p>And there’s alwaysthis:

The accounts for Samaritan’s Purse UK for 2006 show a turnover in excess of £22 million^.
Of this total, only £1.3 million was disbursed on relief and aid
projects with the balance spent on promotion and operations associated
with the project Operation Christmas Child.

.

So – let’s recap. Operation “Evangelize The Heathens” will send all of their aircraft carriers, hospital ships, tanker craft full of water and heavy equipment, and is the best bang for your relief buck. Also, those commies at the Red Cross don’t bring bibles to the Godless Tornadoes.

Does that about sum it up?

To: freedomyes

Millions for Samaratans’s Purse, not a penny for anything requested or demanded by the Kenyamerican.

That’s what I thought.

More ugly after the jump, if you can stomach it.
