A bit of a laugh or cause for concern?

Is anyone else as disturbed by this as I am? Do Christian ministers get any more ignorant than this? From Ninemsn news

"Small church lands itself in big controversy

A church in a small US town has landed itself in big political trouble with a sign that suggests a link between Barack Obama and Osama bin Laden.

The Jonesville Church of God's pastor Roger Byrd has plastered the controversial message across a billboard.

"Obama Osama humm are they brothers," the sign asks passers-by.

But the pastor of the church said the message was "never intended to hurt feelings or to offend anybody".

"It's just something to try to stir people's minds," he was quoted as saying on WYFF4 television.

"It's simply to cause people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not believe in Jesus Christ."

Pastor Byrd said he hoped Obama — a committed Christian — was not a Muslim.

Byrd said his small congregation had decided to keep the sign up, and he would not take it down despite the stir it had caused among locals — and now the world's media."
