Marco Rubio campaign advisory board on religious liberty includes Rick Warren, supporter of Hamas-linked ISNA

Jan 6, 2016 10:22 am By Robert Spencer

Who better to advise on religious liberty issues than a useful idiot for a Hamas front? In July 2009, Warren addressed the annual convention of the Islamic Society of North America, despite the fact that it has been named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas funding case. Federal prosecutors said that ISNA had an “intimate relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood,” and were “intimately connected with the HLF” — that is, the Holy Land Foundation, the Hamas-funding charity — “and its assigned task of providing financial support to HAMAS.”

Warren is also a close friend of Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam), despite Cat’s nasheed that contains the lines, “I’m praying to Allah to give us victory over the kuffar,” and his support for the murder of Salman Rushdie for offending Islam.

Yes, clearly Rick Warren is just the guy to advise Rubio on religious liberty. And that’s it for Rubio.

“Ballot Boxing: Rubio gets new religious advisers,” by Jamie Dean, World, January 5, 2016 (thanks to Alan):

Less than a month before the presidential primary season begins with the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 1, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is set to announce a campaign advisory board focused on religious liberty issues.

Rubio’s campaign tapped a handful of well-known evangelicals for the volunteer board, including pastor Rick Warren, theologian Wayne Grudem, Samuel Rodriguez of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, and Thomas Kidd, an author and professor of history at Baylor University (Kidd also occasionally writes for WORLD).

    Pressure must be put upon the Rubio campaign from without and from within to sideline Rick Warren and to repudiate any sympathies for Islamist fronts.

      Hello again John — Expanding on what you wrote, above, I have a question for the hundreds or even thousands of JW viewers who will see Robert’s post:

      Assuming that at least one of them is a supporter of Rubio, and would vote for him if he becomes the Republican nominee, WILL YOU CONACT HIS CAMPAIGN WEBSITE AND LET THE CHIEF OF STAFF KNOW ABOUT RICK WARREN’S DANGEROUS CLUELESSNESS REGARDING ISLAM ?

      I would really like to know, so please chime in with a reply here. In my case — being a Ted Cruz backer unless he says or does something really out of character — in a similar situation, I would definitely get in touch with his campaign staff.

      I think Rubio is beyond repair. He seems to be comfortable among the so-called “Establish” Republican leadership. He has long since distanced himself from conservatives and Tea Party activists since he coaxed them into supporting his candidacy back in 2010.

        Rubio was the lesser of three evils, when he was elected to the Senate.

        I have friends in south FL, where he is from. They all say the same–he is a lying prick. And cannot be trusted. (And these people range from old time liberal to arch conservative–note, not the modern progressive type of liberal; more in the mold of Scoop Jackson (was a great Dem., Sen, from Washington State).

      Rick Warren is a failed Christian because he has chosen a path that endorses Islam. In many ways, he has proclaimed a unification of Islam and Christianity. Several of his participations at Islamic seminars have shown him to be anti Israel an pro Hammas. Warren is a danger to true Christianity and continues to subscribe to his belief that the two religions should be somehow unified. That is impossible.

    Rubio’s idea of “radical Islam” obviously does not extend to the Muslim Brotherhood. He’s also said: “Let me be clear about something. When we talk about radical Islam, we are talking about an ideology that millions of peace-loving Muslims join us in condemning.” I must have missed the detailed million-Muslim memo on that.

    There are also nice pictures of Yusuf Islam posing with his good buddies Tarqiq Ramadan and Yusuf al-Qaradawi at various conferences. Mr. Peace Train also recruited for Hamas in its early days. No radical Islam in sight though. {(Yusuf) Islam is a Trustee of the Union of Good, a worldwide coalition of charities headed by global Muslim Brotherhood leader Youssef Qaradawi and which helps to fund raise for Hamas. Islam is also a founder of Muslim Aid, a U.K chairty which is one of the member organizations of the Union of Good and which itself tied to the U.K Muslim Brotherhood}

    But Rick Warren doesn’t much like Israel anyway. This disciple of Chrislam was also one of the Christian leaders endorsing the duplicitous Common Word Between Us and You from those slithery Muslim scholars in 2007, the usual one-way street of “interfaith dialogue”blaming Christians and the West for any and all “misunderstandings.” More to the point, Warren did the prayer invocation at Obama’s inauguration, it began:

    “The Scripture tells us, “Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God. The Lord is One.” And you are the compassionate and merciful one. And you are loving to everyone you have made”… ‘the compassionate and merciful’ coming from, of course, the Bismillah al-Rahman al-Raheem of Islam, “In the name of Allah, the most compassionate, the most merciful.” Then he closed his prayer with “in the name of the one who changed my life, Yeshua, Isa, Jesus [Spanish pronounciation], Jesus, who taught us to pray.” –Isa, the blasphemous Muslim Jesus who never died on the cross, who never was the Son of God, who came only to proclaim the coming of Muhammad, who will return to destroy Christianity. Good call, Rubio.

    “(Yusuf) Islam is a Trustee of the Union of Good, a worldwide coalition of charities headed by global Muslim Brotherhood leader Youssef Qaradawi and which helps to fund raise for Hamas. Islam is also a founder of Muslim Aid, a U.K chairty which is one of the member organizations of the Union of Good and which itself tied to the U.K Muslim Brotherhood

    Islam is chairman and a founder the International Board of Educational Research and Resources (IBERR), an international Islamic educational organization whose trustees are largely tied to the global Muslim Brotherhood.”

      Another name on the list is Thomas Kidd, a scholar from Baylor. Kidd wrote a book called “American Christians and Islam” which is focused upon the viewpoints of Protestant evangelicals toward Islam, from the time of the Barbary pirates to 9/11, often characterized by excessive hysteria, demonizing, and end-times projection of Muslims and Islam, to summarize. Kidd writes well and is always “nuanced”, he doesn’t disguise the propensity toward violence and despotism in Islam, but wants to stress the commonalities between Islam and Christianity. At the same time he admits to being no scholar of Islam itself, the real shortcoming in his analysis.

      “Christians should certainly emphasize commonalities with Muslims wherever possible. As I showed in my book ‘American Christians and Islam’, American Evangelicals have often needlessly alienated Muslims by demonizing them and insulting the Prophet Muhammad. But we have to balance charity toward Muslims with sober acknowledgment of the deep differences between us.” http://www.firstthings.com/blogs/firstthoughts/2013/05/do-christians-and-muslims-worship-the-same-god/

      And when Ben Carson said “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation,” Kidd accused him of pandering to fear of Muslim terrorism–“but then to turn it into a blanket statement that Muslims in general can’t be full participants in the life of the republic — I do think that’s significant, and it’s alarming,”

      Rick Warren and Thomas Kidd are a good indication of where Rubio is on the matter of Islam and the kind of advice he is going to be getting. Bad advice.

    Maybe some people forgot. Sen. Marco Rubio joined Sen. John McCain, Speaker John Boehner condemning Michele Bachmann after she properly called for an investigation of Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in the government; she and a couple or so of her Republican colleagues. Beyond that, Rubio has supported some of Obama’s dangerous foreign policy in Libya, Syria, I think Egypt as well. He is not to be trusted in my view.

    As a Christian who had read the Bible I can keyboard that Rick Warren is an affront to Bible based Christianity. Just by his speaking at the ISNA alone is enough to prove this. For the Bible teaches in Ephesians 5:11. ‘Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness ,but rather reprove them..”[K.J.V] By the word “reprove” it means expose the errors and false doctrines of false religions by light of the teaching of the Bible, As also seen in Second Timothy 3:16. Likewise, this exposing of doctrinal errors by the Bible is further shown by the Biblical fact that “works of darkness…” is that many times a doctrine of a religion that is in contradiction the God’s Word, the Bible, then that teaching of that religion is a false teaching and thus a false doctrine,which is therefore in error and in darkness As shown in Isaiah 8:20. Which teaches “To the law of the testimony : if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” As the teachings and doctrines of Islam are in denial that Jesus is the Son of God. Being the Son of God, Who is God the Father. This doctrinal denial of Islam a sharp and strong contradiction the doctrine of the Bible which ,indeed, teaches the Jesus is the Son of God. As seen in ,for example, Matthew 3:16,16. 16:15,16. Luke 1:35. John 3:16,17,36. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13. Islam also denies the Jesus is God the Son. This doctrinal denial of Islam is in clear contradiction to the doctrine of the Bible. For the Bible teaches that Jesus is God the Son..As shown in Hebrews 1:6-8. With emphasis on verse 8. Likewise Islam denies the Jesus is God. This denial of Islam is also in great contradiction to,as in strong contrast, the Bible. As revealed in John 1:1-3. Romans 9:5. Colossians 1:15-17. Second Peter 1:1. Titus 2:13. First John 5:20. Furthermore,all a person has to do to further see that Jesus is God is compare the Old Testament with the New Testament,. As by comparing Isaiah 45:22,23 with Philippians 2:5-11.show Jesus to be God. Likewise by comparing Psalm 89:8,9. with Matthew 8:23-27. reveals Jesus to be God. As also by comparing Psalm 62:5-7 with First Corinthians 10:4. further show that Jesus is God . Just by comparing the New Testament books together is yet more proof that Jesus is God For example comparing Romans 14:12. with John 5:22. The list can go on ,but this should be enough, for all who are will be see, that Jesus is God. So Islam is,in the light and information of the Bible is in awful and terrible doctrinal error concerning is teaching about the very Nature of Jesus and is thus part of the world of darkness and is therefore a false religion. In conclusion ,Rick Warren is a man who claims to be Christian , yet he does and says thing that no real or genuine Christian should do or say. Warren also if he really is a Christian should have nothing at all do to with the ISNA.

    Jan 6, 2016 at 2:39 pm

    If Rick Warren is the face of Christianity then Christianity is in even more trouble than I thought. What the hell was Rubio thinking? Probably something approaching nothing.

    The fact remains that no candidate for the Presidency of the United States of America is addressing intelligently and knowledgably the many troubling doctrines in Islam (and all of Islam and just no so-called “radical Islam”), such as death for apostasy and severe bodily ham or death for criticism or mockery of Islam, the Koran or Mohammed, which are dire threats to liberty. Yep, not one. Trump occasionally stumbles into the truth about Islam but there is no systematic and coherent take on Mo’s creed by Trump. Not even close in fact. Stunning that by now Islam still gets a pass from every candidate for the Presidency. Shameful too. Damn stupid as well.

      “Stunning that by now Islam still gets a pass from every candidate for the Presidency. Shameful too. Damn stupid as well….”

      Why do you think that is?

      • Wellington says

        Jan 6, 2016 at 3:03 pm

        Good question, wildjew. I suppose one could mention such things as willful ignorance, concern that it could doom one’s campaign, actual fear of death threats aplenty and so on, but I’m inclined to think the ultimate reason is that practically all the elites (and many regular folks too) are having a very hard time of it wrapping their heads around the idea that mankind could actually produce a major religion that is rotten to the core.

        It’s as though when at least some might actually contemplate this idea, considering that Islam gives more than enough indications that it suffers from putridity through and through, the thought is so troubling, even terrifying, that they quickly wipe it from their mind and go on to something else. What do you think it is due to?

        • wildjew says

          Jan 6, 2016 at 3:54 pm

          I don’t know for sure. Some of the reasons you mention have crossed my mind over the years. Other than willful ignorance, they essentially boil down to some kind of fear. It wasn’t too many months (maybe a couple or so years) after the 9/11/2001 attacks, I called into our regional conservative radio program when the topic turned to Islam.

          I put forward the proposition to the host and his listening audience that the September hijackers were not ‘traitors to their faith’ but were devout Muslims who were living according to the teachings of Islam and the example of their prophet, or in so many words. The host could not end my call soon enough.

          Since then I don’t know how often people ask me (mostly in the comment sections of news sites) incredulously, “Are you suggesting we are at war with 1.5 billion Muslims?” — or whatever the number is. In other words, as you suggest, Americans and others in the West seem petrified at the thought we might in fact be at war with a significant number of Muslims worldwide.

          I listen to the Sean Hannity radio program. He uses this “radical Islam” terminology but now he’s read enough to quote martial verses from the Qur’an to his guests and listeners. He’s read enough to mention unsavory things about the life of Islam’s prophet Muhammad. From time to time Hannity tells his “moderate” (Ahmadiyya) Muslim guests, violent Muslims “hijacked” their religion. If Hannity has come to know Islam itself is essentially a violent and imperial religion and he knows Muhammad was a “warlord” as he calls him, then why the qualifier, “radical?”

        • Wellington says

          Jan 6, 2016 at 6:39 pm

          Yes, wildjew, I believe the sheer number of Muslims in the world is a major factor, arguably THE factor, that disallows a lot of people from concluding that Islam is problematical throughout. I mean just imagine if instead of some 1.5 billion Muslims there were only some 1.5 million Muslims. The conclusions then about Islam might, almost certainly would, be vastly different. Perhaps this serves as fine an example as any that quantity sometimes really is more important and influential than quality.

          BTW, Happy New Year to you and yours. May 2016 prove to be a year that advances worldwide more correct knowledge of the iniquity which is Islam. Meanwhile, Israel remains on the frontline against this terrible religion.. I do wish more people would “get” this, though there is such hatred and misinformation about Israel that is spewed by the forces of evil and ignorance that the truth of this is often deeply buried, thus making extraction of the truth in this matter all the more difficult. Instructive how elusive the truth is at times, but with proper “digging” it can usually be found out. We need a lot more proper digging where Israel and Islam are concerned.

        • gravenimage says

          Jan 6, 2016 at 6:44 pm

          Wellington and Wildjew, I think it *does* come down to fear, and of two kinds–one, that acknowledging what a threat Islam truly presents is quite terrifying–it is for me, as well. Who wants to believe that so many people are out to enslave and murder us? Denial superficially feels better.

          The other fear–insanely, often greater than that of recognizing the threat of Islam–is fear of being thought a “racist” or “Islamophobe”. This basic idea sprang from a decent premise–wanting to be tolerant, just, and open-minded–but clearly should *not* extent to tolerance for evil, which is exactly the case here.

          I’m especially familiar with this last, living here in the bluer-than-blue San Francisco Bay Area.

          Of course, the second fear reinforces the first, as anyone who may have overcome the first fear of denial is apt to reconsider speaking out when they see Anti-Jihadists excoriated as bigoted “Islamophobes”.

          Moreover, this leads many decent people–frightened to look into Islam too closely in the first place for fear of what they might find–to back off further when faced with the idea that anyone who is concerned over Islam is just a marginalized “Islamophobe”.

          So this denial becomes largely self reinforcing.

          It takes real courage to examine Islam honestly–probably even more so for those in the public eye.

          But I don’t mean this to excuse public figures who continue to put the public at risk over their own fears, including fears about their public careers.

          Kudos to those who *do* speak out, even if their understanding of the Jihad threat is partial–they are all too few and far between.

          Enjoy your post, as ever. My own input is rather more simple…. The masses do NOT know how much of a threat islam is, so no efforts to isolate and reduce the threat are being contemplated, or are attacked when they are suggested… But the masses ARE learning, in spite of the best (worst?) efforts of the self appointed elite. As for the so-called elite, they are blind enough, foolish enough, ignorant enough, and so sure of their own utter perfection, that they actually think they will come out on top, as they work to sell the rest of us out….

      “If Rick Warren is the face of Christianity then Christianity” …

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      Wellington, as a Christian, I consider Rick Warren to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, as do many other Christians I associate with. Rick is one of the chief architects of the evil Chrislam movement, and part of the apostate church the Bible warns us about:

      “Let no one in any way deceive you, for it [Jesus’ return] will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,” — 2 Thess. 2:3

      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

      And to anyone perhaps interested, here’s more information from CARM about the apostate church:

      https://carm.org/apostasy-christian-church

      Excerpt:

      Apostasy means to fall away from the truth. Therefore, an apostate is someone who has once believed and then rejected the truth of God. Apostasy is a rebellion against God because it is a rebellion against truth. In the Old Testament, God warned the Jewish people about their idolatry and their lack of trust in Him. In the New Testament, the epistles warn us about not falling away from the truth. Apostasy is a very real and dangerous threat.

Federal prosecutors said that ISNA had an “intimate relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood,” and were “intimately connected with the HLF” — that is, the Holy Land Foundation, the Hamas-funding charity — “and its assigned task of providing financial support to HAMAS.”

    Warren is also a close friend of Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam), despite Cat’s nasheed that contains the lines, “I’m praying to Allah to give us victory over the kuffar,” and his support for the murder of Salman Rushdie for offending Islam.

    ………………………..

    Well, *this* is disturbing. Rick Warren is on of the major proponents of “Christlam”.

    He addressed the ISNA in 2009, and in reference to “Muslim stereotypes” said, “we ask forgiveness of the All-Merciful One and of the Muslim community around the world.”

    Notice he didn’t think Muslims should apologize for murdering thousands of innocent Americans since 9/11. Nor, apparently, did he have any problems with Muslims world-wide genocide on Christians.

    One of his tropes is that Christianity and Islam are the same because Jesus is mentioned in the Qur’an.

    He seems to have missed that part where not only is the Muslim “Jesus”–really, “Isa”–not the savior, but he is not a healer or a peacemaker, either.

    In the fact, the main roll of “Jesus” in Islam is to *kill Christians* in the last days.

However , there has been such a Preoccupation With Winning The Souls of Muslims , that some church leaders will sadly do ALMOST ANYTHING to SUPPOSEDLY WIN THEM OVER . Much of this Compromising and Appeasing Attitude has grown out of The Church Growth Movement, which sought to do Evangelism and Church Planting using Marketing Techniques and Strategies . It was Propagated by Some Evangelical Seminaries and was very TRENDY in the 90s . I know this for a fact Because when I went to Seminary in the 90s I dropped out of the course but later had to take it anyways to graduate !!! Evangelical Leaders like Rick Warren need to read a Book called The Purpose Driven Pastor : No not the version written by Rick Warren ! The one written by the Apostles Paul and Peter etc : the one found within the writings of the New Testament !!!

    I’ve just learned this now. I’d heard that Rick Warren HAD some problems. Now I know he IS a problem.

    The problems he had were (http://www.challies.com/articles/rick-warren-three-primary-concerns)

    1.) Abuse of Scripture (going through translations until he’d found one that says what he wants it say).
    2.) The totalitarian nature of his Purpose Driven Program ( its “all encompassing” )
    3.) Ecumenism. (at first among all Christians groups, and now apparently extended to Islam.)

    And he is apparently a theological chameleon
    http://www.challies.com/articles/thinking-about-rick-warren-john-piper (scroll down)

    [quote] One of the most common critiques of Rick Warren and one of the most important is that he is something of a chameleon. There is a kind of pragmatism to him where he will be A and Not A depending on the context.[quote/]

    But the thing that really lit my ire just now is the confluence of two things from the first link.:

    1.) [quote] Beyond the problem introduced by the large number of translations there are some passages where Warren uses the Bible extremely carelessly. Perhaps the clearest example of this is in chapter 10 where he discusses the blessing of surrendering to God. As support he quotes Job 22:21 as saying “Stop quarreling with God. If you agree with him, you will have peace at last, and things will go well for you.” When we look at the larger context of this passage we see that these are the words of Eliphaz, one of Job’s infamous friends. We see that Eliphaz is giving Job poor advice which God later condemns. [quote/]

    2.) that “all encompassing” system of his.

    “surrender to God” is found in Christianity, but when its coupled with “an all encompassing” system, it reminds me of an entirely different religion.

    Looks a lot like guilt by association going on here. Because Warren spoke at a Muslim conference six years ago therefore…he is a supporter of Hamas. Because he is friendly with Cat Stevens therefore….he want’s to promote a merger between Islam and Christianity. I don’t have an opinion on Warren one way or other other, but l’d like to see some evidence of what he is being accused of. Way to much rumour mongering by some.

    Excellent posting all. I concur with almost all said. Very good info about Warren and Chrislam. His “ear tickling” is legendary and well documented. The most revelatory aspect for me was to just now learn that he was on Rubio’s board. It changes a significant amount of perception about Sen. Rubio. Thanks all and God bless Robert and Jihad Watch!

    From an interview with Rick Warren on http://www.christianitytoday.com on 2 March 2012

    2 minutes of searching, clarification from the horses mouth is better than rumour, though not even that will convince the haters.

    QUESTION: A recent newspaper article claimed you believe Christians and Muslims worship the same God, that you are “in partnership” with a mosque, and that you both agreed to “not evangelize each other.” You immediately posted a brief refutation online. Can you expand on that?

    WARREN: Sure. All three of those statements are flat out wrong. Those statements were made by a reporter, not by me. I did not say them … I do not believe them… I completely disagree with them … and no one even talked to me about that article! So let me address each one individually: First, as I’ve already said, Christians have a fundamentally different view of God than Muslims. We worship Jesus as God. Muslims don’t. Our God is Jesus, not Allah. Colossians 2:9 “For in Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.” Second, while we urge our members to build friendships with everyone in our community, including Muslims and other faiths, (“Love your neighbor as yourself”), our church has never had any partnership with a mosque. Friendship and partnership are two very different levels of commitment. Some of our members have hosted a Bible study with Muslim friends, which I applaud, but I’ve never been to it, and a Bible study certainly isn’t any kind of partnership or merger! It’s just crazy that a simple Bible Study where people explore Scripture with non-Christians would be reported as a partnership and others would interpret that as a plan for a new compromised religion. Just crazy! Third, as both an Evangelical and as an evangelist, anyone who knows me and my 40 year track record of ministry that I would never agree to “not evangelizing” anyone! I am commanded by my Savior to share the Good News with all people everywhere, all the time, in every way possible! Anyone who’s heard me teach knows that my heart beats for bringing others to Jesus.

    That is just peachy. So Rubio’s staff is infiltrated as well. So he doesn’t see the threat that Islam poses. Cruz may not be a naturally born citizen. So that leaves Trump and Carson.

    USEFUL IDIOT is the phrase that immediately comes to mind. Rick Warren should ask himself what good can come from the appearance of chumming with a SUPREMACIST and MISOGYNIST like Yusuf Islam.

    “I’m praying to Allah to give us victory over the kuffar,” can only mean that he wants to see Rick Warren in chains and the gospel message in chains as well.

    Allah is in fact doing a great job of cunning all these clueless idiots. You’ve go to give credit to where it is due, Allah must be a very cunning evil.

    Rick Warren is a spiritually hollow miscreant, comparable to the Muslim surrogate Grover Norquist.
    If Rubio was unaware of this guys background then he shouldn’t be the next president.
