Bloomfield Hills church blasted for plans to host anti-Muslim 9/11 event

Michigan representatives are calling on a Bloomfield church — whose pastor has called himself an Islamophobe — to cancel an anti-Muslim event planned around this week's 9/11 anniversary.

Bloomfield Hills Baptist Church will host a two-day event called "9/11 forgotten? Is Michigan surrendering to Islam?" on Sept. 11-12.

While the Free Press was unable to reach Bloomfield Hills Baptist by email or phone, the church's pastor, Donald McKay, told Fox 2 last week that "Islam is a growing threat in the United States of America," and that while he doesn't speak for his church, "we don't hate Muslims, we hate the ideology they are identified with."

"I am an Islamophobe, I wear that badge proudly," McKay told Fox 2.

The church's event includes a Sept. 11 talk titled, "How the interfaith movement is sabotaging America and the church" and an address the following day called "How Islam is destroying America from within."

They only work with those religions if it serves them. They hate them the rest of the time.
