An employee of the Southern Baptist Convention responded to complaints about SBC President J.D. Greear appearing on stage with an anti-Israel and likely anti-Semitic Imam by calling it all Fake News! Here’s the email supplied to us:
Thank you for your inquiry, but we know nothing about the validity of President Greear appearing with an anti-Semitic Imam. This false story may have originated from an unreliable website. Here is a story from our own Baptist Press about the meeting with the Muslim leader.
Civility and interfaith dialog were the reasons for the meeting. SBC leaders over the years have met with many religious leaders of other faiths to have such discussions.
