I suspect that the “pastor” is congratulating himself on the publicity stunt to get more members to join his little cult.
I understand that he is looking to have the church declared as a legitimate church to insure his tax deductible status. I he stands to make a million or more dollars off of this stunt. The guy’s pretty smart, crooked but smart. It also shows Muslims to be an incredibly gullible group. Any religious group with self confidence would condemn the guy to hell and get on with business. This sensitivity to “insults” is a sign of the lack of self-esteem and self confidence. They really need to work on that.
Just imagine if the Catholic or Jews rioted at the slightest insult. We would have daily world wide riots.
