Obery Hendricks, professor of biblical interpretation at the New York Theological Seminary, had to think really hard.
And then he came up with one possible reason why ISIS is targeting Christians: animosity
(Oh darn, where is my pencil? I need to write that down!)
Video is embedded in Right Scoop, below.
But in case you might want those 1:35 minutes of your life back, here are his other main points:
The killings are provocative actions by terrorists.
They want to assert their power.
There are 109 verses in the Koran that talk about violence.
But there are a total of 62,000 verses in the entire Koran!
Um, ok…
Via Right Scoop: CNN’s ‘religion expert’ has absolutely NO IDEA why ISIS is targeting Christians
….Dude seriously starts with, “y’know, it’s hard to tell…” and breathes with exasperation as if he’s really, really, really struggling to use every ounce of his brain power to try to figure out what possible reason these Islamist terrorists might target Christians. It’s really hard to tell!

NY Post: It’s the ideology, stupid
This Hendricks guy is a babbling idiot. He was so baffled and strained by the whole issue, I thought he was gonna poop his pants right on the set. A “religious expert” my tail. He probably grew up Baptist, went to college and found a new “religion”, aka liberalism.
Well, Kitten, I think his Ph.D. thesis might have been on Third World Transgender Basket Weaving 🙂
Bhahaha! His Momma must be so proud.
He should’ve used this product on the set: 🙂

As for me, I’m going to spare myself listening since here is what I know. The management, producers and staff of CNN are directly responsible for finding, vetting, signoff, and prepping the guests. So they knew this ‘expert’ person was a crackpot with no basic common sense on the subject matter. And if any of the few people that were watching, live, they immediately changed the channel or they sat and watched because they like train wrecks.

To create Extreme Peace, one has to eliminate the Peaceful Extremists.
I’ll answer for him. Its very simple:
“At the beginning of creation,there was a test, and ever since 1/3 of the angels
rebelled against God there has been a cosmic war going on between the forces of good and the forces of evil and we have been caught up in that war having to take our place on one side or the other.”___EWTN
This is the view from the gerbil cage, forget about the Ivory Tower.
I wonder what this imbecile’s salary is. Just another example of these maddening times we live in. *sigh*
So we can’t say who the enemy is, and we can’t say why they want to kill us. In theory the “news” should bring clarity, but it seems its purpose is instead to confuse and obfuscate. Much like Obama.
Thumbs up, Maynard
