Who is really the bully?

Sarah Scott of Richardson laments that Dr. Robert Jeffress, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Dallas, has become such a bully. She's upset over his assertion that Islam is a violent, dangerous religion. No one has yet proven anything he's said to be wrong, but he has been branded a liar, a hate-monger, and now a bully for his stand for the truth.

Sarah says Dr. Jeffress made "threatening statements based on emotion that incite fear and hate." No, Sarah, his statements were based on historical fact.

"How did this man become a bully?" she opines. Well, Sarah, I haven't seen Robert Jeffress so much as threaten violence, much less actually perpetrate it. That doesn't sound like a bully to me. I do know of some bullies, though. Several of them hijacked four airliners and killed 3000 people. One shot dozens of people at Ft. Hood. One tried to blow up a plane with explosives hidden in his underwear. One tried to set off a car bomb in Times Square. One tried to blow up a car at Fountain Place in Dallas. You might be interested to know that they were all muslims.

Thank God for Robert Jeffress!
