The bigger development was the reaction <http://newsok.com/article/5340759> of Oklahoma's religious and social justice groups to Bennett. Instead of dividing the community, Bennett had brought together Christian, Jewish and Muslim groups as well as organizations like the NAACP and the ACLU to stand together at a press conference to denounce Bennett and demand an apology.
Rabbi Vered Harris of Oklahoma City's Temple B'nai Israel told me, "I respect people of all religions, or no religions, who abide by America's core values of tolerance and respect. It's unfortunate that Rep. Bennett does not." I also spoke with the president of the Oklahoma Chapter of the NAACP, Anthony Douglas, who said it was too late for Bennett to apologize, it was time for him to resign. Douglas, a Vietnam veteran, commented that Bennett is "promoting hatred and possibly even violence against Muslim Americans with his comments and there's simply no place for that from our elected officials." http://www.cnn.com/2014/09/19/opinion/obeidallah-anti-muslim-bias/ [image: john bennett crazy facebok post] On Thursday, October 9, 2014 9:45:19 AM UTC-5, KeithInTampa wrote: > > A Zionist Christian?
