The first thing that the likes of the ignorant Senator Ted Cruz should
understand is that Iran is Persian not Arab, and represents an independent
civilization going back to the times of ancient Greece. And that Islam is a
religion not an ethnicity, as is Judaism. He also needs to go re-read his Bible,
specifically Genesis 12:1-3 which says: 
Previous Message
Then the LORD said to Abram, "Leave your country, your kindred, and your
father's household, and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a
great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you
will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse
you; and all the families of the earth will be blessed through you."
This is Abram, the father of the three great Abrahamic religions; Islam,
Christianity and Judaism. Israel is never mentioned, and it also very
specifically states that "all the families of the earth will be blessed through
you". To misquote the Bible, explicitly misrepresenting the stated words of the
Christian God, is to be a heretic. Ted Cruz should be reminded that he was
elected to serve Americans, not to serve a foreign power. Here, displaying his
utter ignorance and mendacity in his service of a foreign power:
The Scofield Bible, a heretical reinterpretation of the King James Bible by
Scofield, is a core text of the Dispensationalist movement that believes in an
End Times in the present (rather than the End Times being seen as the fall of
Rome as accepted in mainstream Christianity). I have written about the highly
questionable origins and mainstreaming of the Scofield Bible, together with the
related mainstreaming of the capitalist-friendly Prosperity Gospel. All of which
was a political project, not a religious one.
