You know, that there's a religious alliance between Christians and Jews conspiring against Muslims? Well, I wouldn't blame them for thinking that: Alliance for Christ
Rick Perry's pledge to stand with Israel "as a Christian" is a gift to Islamic extremists.

Yesterday Rick Perry went to New York, stood with Jewish leaders, and declared his support for Israel. He called it a democracy, a bulwark against terrorism, and a stalwart ally of the United States.

Then he was asked: "To what extent do you view America's continued protection of Israel as a theological priority?" He answered:

Well, obviously, Israel is our oldest and most stable democratic ally in that region. That is what this is about. I also as a Christian have a clear directive to support Israel. So from my perspective, it's pretty easy. Both as an American and as a Christian, I am going to stand with Israel.​

What a moron!
 
Um. I think the old school approach is that Christians have a duty to protect Israel ... from non-Christians. Certainly seemed to be a lot of that sort of thing going on in the Middle Ages. Christian Zionism is a relative newcomer in Christendom starting perhaps a couple of hundred years ago or so. It gained a big boost with the actual creation of Israel as a state and has been an increasing influence in especially US protestant denominations.
 
Perry says "clear directive". What the heck is he talking about?!?
