Jerry Bowles has a good post on the anti-Muslim rhetoric of Glenn R. Plummer, CEO of National Religous Broadcasters. Plummer says that "Islam is a pagan religion," and that "[w]e must resist every attempt to neutralize our distinctives; we must not allow Christianity to be placed on equal footing with Islam." One of the repulsive things about guys like Plummer is how they speak of the "Judeo-Christian foundation" of America and "His Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ" in the same breath. Christian Fundamentalists like Plummer also think Jews are pagans because they don't accept Jesus Christ as God, they just don't broadcast that like they do their intolerance of Muslims.

Don't believe me? Just ask Billy Graham.
