Controversial pastor to distribute 1,000 copies of his anti-Semitic movie.
By Raif Karerat
Residents of Dearborn, Mich., are concerned over an upcoming event led by Pastor Steven Anderson scheduled for June 26, reported the Arab American News.
Anderson, pastor of Faithful World Baptist Church in Tempe, Ariz., is targeting the suburb of Detroit because of its substantial Muslim population. His goal is to recruit Muslims, who he says “need the Gospel,” according to CBS Detroit.
“Dearborn Michigan has the greatest Arab population in the United States,” Anderson said in a promotional YouTube clip. “Most of these Arabs in Dearborn are Muslims, of course. We all know the Muslims are going to hell in a hand basket. They aren’t saved or believe that Jesus is the son of God.”
The pastor intends to bring 1,000 copies of his anti-Semitic movie, “Marching to Zion,” to distribute while going door-to-door in Dearborn.
The plan is to “get these DVDs into the hands of these Arabs,” he said in the You Tube video. To that end, part of the movie has been translated into Arabic.
In the past Anderson has purportedly preached sermons with anti-Semitic titles including “The Jews and their Lies” and “Jews are Anti-Christs.”
Last week, the radical Christian leader announced he had prayed for God to rip out the heart of Caitlyn Jenner and cast her soul into the fiery depths of hell, revealed Raw Story.
Anderson, who predicted an “AIDS-free Christmas” if all LGBT people were put to death, explained to his congregation at Faithful Word Baptist Church that it was not wrong to pray for the deaths of your enemies – just like he had done for President Barack Obama as his sentence for “praising the wicked.”
“Our President Obama is praising him, or praising her – we don’t even know what it is. I think that [Obama] used the female pronoun about somebody named Bruce,” Anderson derided.
The Southern Poverty Law Center has indicated Anderson has links to militias and “sovereign citizen” movements, which is not likely to alleviate the concerns of anyone in Dearborn.
Meanwhile, Imam Mardini, spiritual leader of the American Muslim Center in Dearborn, said that residents should use the opportunity to welcome Anderson and his followers during what is considered the most spiritual time of the year.
“American Muslims don’t have any agenda against any of these people,” Mardini told the Arab American News. “Our homes are open; our mosques are open for people to come and understand who we are. I consider this visit an opportunity for all of us to invite them to our homes and house of worships and let them see. We have nothing to hide and we are the people of peace and the people of compassion.”

Bless you Pastor Steven Anderson for having the strength of Jesus to stand up for the Holy Word of God.
The Bible is God’s Word. This great preacher teaches God’s Words. NOT HIS OWN. Read the King James Bible and be saved. OR HELL AWAITS. Wake Up!
So, this article says:
“Last week, the radical Christian leader announced he had prayed for God to rip out the heart of Caitlyn Jenner and cast HER soul into the fiery depths of hell, revealed Raw Story.”
Why is the author of this report so ignorant that he would actually refer to an old sexual pervert man as “Her”?
That is taking part in the perversion. And this is why REAL MEN OF GOD like Pastor Anderson must preach boldly!
I always find it hilarious when out-of-towers come here to stir the pot. Many of them end up in a field a mile or two in Detroit.
They will find these Baptists’ dumped in Detroit dead. It won’t be the first time that has happened.
Should be great entertainment on the news.
