In the end, the great Dr. William Barber II, the dynamic animator of the contemporary Poor People's Campaign gave the best response to the self-serving absurdity and hypocrisy of Mullah Sessions' invocation of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Barber called their interpretations "heresy" and said:
"First of all, (they're) misinterpreting that text. Paul actually was arrested by the government, because Christians challenged the government. That's one of the reasons Paul ends up getting killed. . . Second of all, the Bible is clear, from the Old Testament to the New Testament, that one of God's primary concerns is that we care for the stranger, that we do not rob children of their rights, and mothers of their children, that we welcome the stranger and make sure that the stranger, the immigrant, the undocumented person, is treated like a brother or sister. You cannot find anywhere where Jesus or the prophets would say anything like what Sessions said."
Today it's immigrants. One wonders about the next victims of Mr. Sessions' Christian counterpart of Sharia Law. Beware!
