Bahrain’s Gulf Daily News reports on “a top US scholar and writer” visiting the kingdom, where he said that the Western world is suffering from “moral decay” and that Islam should come to the rescue. (Hat tip: Norwegian kafir.)

ISLAMIC countries should come to the rescue of the Western world which is suffering from moral decay and deterioration, says a top US scholar and writer.

Muslims and Christians should join hands in the pursuit of peace, freedom, justice and moral values, said California-based Christians and Muslims for Peace (CAMP) president Professor Bill Baker.

No country, irrespective of its military and money power, can exist if its moral values are deteriorated, he told the GDN.

“Islamic countries can save the West from its moral decay, provided Muslims lead a life built on the five pillars of Islam,” said Prof Baker.

“Islam is like a house built on the rock of submission and supported by five pillars: Witnessing, Prayer, Fasting, Almsgiving or Tithing, and Pilgrimage.

“These five pillars are the distinguishing marks of Islam from all other religions.”

Prof Baker is in Bahrain at the invitation of Discover Islam.

He gave a talk on Zionism or Judaism, Justice or Injustice, Oppressor or Oppressed at Beit Al Quran last night.

Uh, well.

Let’s hold on one little second here, Gulf Daily News. “Christians and Muslims for Peace president Professor Bill Baker” just happens to be the notorious neo-Nazi William Baker, who has manufactured most of his academic credentials, and was fired from Robert Schuller’s Crystal Cathedral when the truth about his connections to Nazi extremist groups came to light.

This man is the scum of the earth, an antisemitic hater par excellence. Just what the Arab world is looking for.
