Dana Milbank has some interesting Wright quotes. This is the oddest one:
His claim that the September 11 attacks mean “America’s chickens are coming home to roost”?
Wright defended it: “Jesus said, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you. Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic divisive principles.”
Is Wright claiming here that we want terrorism, so we’re doing it on other people? Jesus’ words are a call to forgiveness, not revenge.
On the other hand, if America were run by a cruel dictator, then by religious militias, would most Christian Americans welcome somebody coming in to fix it? Perhaps we are obeying the Golden Rule.
