While ceaselessly complaining that President Obama has bungled the U.S. role in the Middle East with weakness or appeasement, Ex-pastor Mike Huckabee deliberately ratcheted up the hostilities this week when he promoted a blatantly Islamophobic parody song that was obviously designed to offend on as many levels as possible. Sample lyrics, c/o Think Progress:
Hot bed Middle East
Not fit for man or beast
Sand dunes, camels
Virgins when you die
Democracy, Arab spring
That doesn’t mean a thing
Culture, freedom, pyramids goodbye
Huckabee promoted the song on his radio show and website, and on Twitter, too.
Listen to the song and ask yourself, is this what Jesus would sing?

Spot on, AAP. Oh, the hatred that lurks and hides itself under the cloak of christianity!
Huckabee and Fr. Morris invariably remind me of Robert Heinlein’s “Stranger in a Strange Land”, where Jesus returns to earth, fails to recognise his message and is not recognized by his supposed followers.
