The ECR leaders, including Falwell, Robertson, and the Graham family, are all Baptist by history. Dr. Richard Land is a powerful spokesman for the Southern Baptist Convention, and he does not even have to know where Iraq is on the map to hate Iraqis. This is because Israel is still formally at war with Iraq, and Ariel Sharon reminds Christians of this every day by his flaming rhetoric about expected missile attacks from Iraq and his plans for retaliation. A war on Iraq is viewed by the ECR as a war for Israel. Yet the roots of Islam-hatred did not come from the Administration: Mr. Bush has only exploited the preconditioning that already exists within Christian Zionism. The source of what can only be described as unchristian race hatred is discussed in detail in several papers authored by your editor, some of which are reviewed below.

THE FIRE IS ABOUT TO BE EXTINGUISHED
President Bush cannot cope with the growing world disgust over Israel's open murder of Palestinian children, while at the same time deal with what is viewed by the rest of the world as a giant oil-theft raid on Iraq. There is just too much anti-American sentiment growing worldwide. The dollar is again sinking in the international currency markets, another hushed evidence of the growing hatred for US policy. Bush Warmaker advisors (many of whom are openly Zionist) now need to play down the race war angle. George Walker Bush is not suddenly soft on Muslims; there is no plan to treat anyone fairly; Colin Powell is not a brown-faced, good guy, TV hero coming to the defense of another abused minority, and the war plan has not diminished. The race crusade is still flying on afterburner!
