The black ministers' stance in opposition to the mosque has surprised some experts on Islam.

''For the first time, you are seeing a group of black pastors following the white fundamentalist leaders of our country,'' said Lawrence Mamiya, an activist and professor of religion and Africana studies at New York's Vassar College.

Traditionally, blacks and Muslims in America have forged a healthy, harmonious relationship -- in part because their leaders tackle the same issues affecting their neighborhoods -- drugs, crime, racism and other social ills, Mamiya said.

If ministers' sentiments about Islam were to become a trend, it would cause a ''serious serious split in the black community,'' and threaten that relationship, Mamiya said.

And splitting the black community is precisely what the GOP is engineering to happen. This is yet another devious plan by a close ally of Jeb Bush to divide and suppress the African American vote for any candidates who truly want to strengthen their communities.

Like progressive Democrats.


Jeb has a legion of operatives who are rolling out all their new products early.
