http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyterian_Church_%28USA%29_Hezbollah_controversyThe Presbyterian Church (USA) Hezbollah controversy began following a series of statements made by church representatives in 2004.
Background
On May 30, 2003, Hezbollah was found to be responsible for the 1983 bombing in Beirut, Lebanon which killed 241 United States Marines, in Peterson v. Islamic Republic of Iran.[1][2] The US State Department defines Hezbollah (also known as Hizballah, "Party of God") as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO).[3]
In October 2004, the Presbyterian Church (USA) (PCUSA) Advisory Committee on Social Wellness Policy toured the Middle East in order to listen to local Christians, ecumenical partners, and political leaders in Lebanon, the Palestinian National Authority, Israel, Egypt and Jordan. While in Lebanon, the delegation met with members of Hezbollah, which became a cause of controversy.
[edit] Controversy
Ronald H. Stone, John Witherspoon Professor of Christian Ethics at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, attracted negative media attention during the tour after being quoted as saying, "
We treasure the precious words of Hezbollah and your expression of goodwill toward the American people. Also we praise your initiative for dialogue and mutual understanding. We cherish these statements that bring us closer to you. As an elder of our church, I'd like to say that according to my recent experience, relations and conversations with Islamic leaders are a lot easier than dealings and dialogue with Jewish leaders."[4]
A member of the delegation, Reverend Nile Harper stated that "The occupation by Israel in the West Bank and Gaza must end because it is oppressive and destructive for the Palestinian people".[5]

Sheikh Sobhi al-Tufayli, the Iranian-backed militant group's first secretary general, lamented the death of a "great man, courageous, sincere in his faith, loyal to his convictions" in a statement eulogizing bin Laden.

I recommend the partial preterists out there think long and hard, about the anti-semitism your doctrine seems to inspire in so many, and just who's side it winds up putting you on.
http://islamchristianforum.com/index.php?topic=2589.0Muslims enjoy more freedom in Israel, than they do in any Muslim controlled country on earth. The very freedom that would be destroyed, were Islam to take over.
Any "democratic vote" that results from the so-called "Arab Spring" in the Middle East, will put the Jew hating majorities of all Middle Eastern countries that are sworn to the genocide of Israeli Jews, not only in control of governments there but in control of all of the weapons that the U.S. provided the former governments in order to discourage that very genocide.
Will turn the entirety of the Middle East Arab world into a jungle that described Afghanistan under the Taliban. How could it wind up otherwise, when true fundamental Muslims, would be more than happy to cut the heads off their apostate brethren that suffer the delusion that Muhammadanism is a "religion" of peace rather than imperialistic conquest?
