Hagee on Hurricane Katrina"All hurricanes are acts of God because God controls the heavens. I believe that New Orleans had a level of sin that was offensive to God and they were recipients of the judgment of God for that."
Hagee on Islamic BeliefsFresh Air host Terry Gross asked if Hagee believed that "all Muslims have a mandate to kill Christians and Jews," to which Hagee replied, "Well, the Quran teaches that. Yes, it teaches that very clearly."
Hagee on African-AmericansThe San Antonio Express-News reported that Hagee was going to "meet with black religious leaders privately at an unspecified future date to discuss comments he made in his newsletter about a 'slave sale,' an East Side minister said Wednesday." The Express-News reported:
"Hagee, pastor of the 16,000-member Cornerstone Church, last week had announced a 'slave sale' to raise funds for high school seniors in his church bulletin, 'The Cluster.'
"The item was introduced with the sentence 'Slavery in America is returning to Cornerstone' and ended with "Make plans to come and go home with a slave."
Hagee on Catholicism"Most readers will be shocked by the clear record of history linking Adolf Hitler and the Roman Catholic Church in a conspiracy to exterminate the Jews."
Hagee on Women"Do you know the difference between a woman with PMS and a snarling Doberman pinscher? The answer is lipstick. Do you know the difference between a terrorist and a woman with PMS? You can negotiate with a terrorist."
"he feminist movement today is throwing off authority in rebellion against God's pattern for the family." <"Bible Positions on Political Issues," John Hagee>
Hagee on LGBT Americans"The newspaper carried the story in our local area that was not carried nationally that there was to be a homosexual parade there on the Monday that the Katrina came. And the promise of that parade was that it was going to reach a level of sexuality never demonstrated before in any of the other Gay Pride parades. So I believe that the judgment of God is a very real thing. I know that there are people who demur from that, but I believe that the Bible teaches that when you violate the law of God, that God brings punishment sometimes before the day of judgment."
Hagee on Iran"The coming nuclear showdown with Iran is a certainty," Hagee wrote in the Pentecostal magazine Charisma. "Israel and America must confront Iran's nuclear ability and willingness to destroy Israel with nuclear weapons. For Israel to wait is to risk committing national suicide." http://www.thenation.com/doc/20060814/new_christian_zionism>
What THIS man says is far more dangerous than what Reverend Wright said. John McCain says this man is his spiritual adviser. He actively sought this man's endorsement. He may have done so for political reasons, but what did he have to give up or exchange in return for this endorsement? What did he promise Hagee? This man wants an eternal war with the Muslim world and Hagee's "spiritual guidance" will only reinforce McCain's views. It would not only become McCain's "patriotic duty" to suicide bomb the middle east, but he will also see it as his "spiritual duty" to do so.
