So the three stooges behind this anti-Muslim film are not even your run-of-the-mill right-wing religious extremists.
Thank God! Allah akbar!
They're 1) a con man who's spent time in federal prison and just got out last summer, 2) the owner of a media group who travels around talking about the "Islamicization of America," and 3) another full-time anti-Islamic activist using the media group for his weekly satellite tv show.
Two of the three are Egyptians, ethnically Coptic Christian, probably deranged by years of violence being a 10% minority there.
I'm relieved that the con man drifts into a worship service infrequently. I don't count him as anyone who loves and follows Jesus. Therefore, I don't have to figure out how a "real Christian" could do this.
I put the other two hate-mongers in a box labeled "crazy" and don't expect any serious Christianity out of them either, so I've handled my cognitive dissonance for the day.
The stated mission of "Media for Christ" is to "glow Jesus' light" to the world, reports the LA Times... "working to spread the gospel."

With a gospel like that, who needs Christianity?
These modern-day Crusaders think they're fighting Islam, but they're putting Coptic Christians in danger, inflaming hatred, and causing deaths.
What would Jesus do?
I don't know, but his words to these folks were not gentle: "You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels..." (Matthew 25:41).
