• Robert Morey Still Up to his Resume-Stretching

  Remember Robert Morey, the self-proclaimed Islam expert who runs Faith Community Church in Irvine? Last March, the Weekly examined many of his outrageous claims--that he's on a Hamas death list, that the Los Angeles Police Department consulted with him to make sure local Muslims wouldn't kill cops during raids, that he received a doctorate in Islamic Studies--and found them seriously laughing. After calling him out on the latter matter, Morey admitted he doesn't possess such a degree, telling me

• Goodbye, Tancredo, and Take Morey With You

  Not to pick on Irvine Islamic "expert" Robert Morey any further this week, but I was reminded of his idiocies today, as I bide my time in Fort Collins, Colorado, before a book signing hosted by the Rocky Mountain Chronicle. The paper runs a great column called "Tancrazy Train," which monitors Coloradoan Republican presidential candidate (and Orange County darling) Tom Tancredo (R-Know Nothinglandia). Learning that Tancredo has recently announced he's calling its quits, I was reminded that he onc

• Morey's Morons Begging for Comments

  You know a blog is lame when it begs readers to leave comments, and that's exactly what the bloggers at Irvine's Faith Community Church, the domain of resume-stretching Islam "expert" Robert Morey, are doing. Earlier this month, one Stephen Macasil sported the holiest of hard-ons for FCC's blog, Biblical Thought Dot Com (yep, that's the name), warning heathens it was coming to "a town near you with fistfuls of Bible, prepared to destroy arguments that are void of biblical basis." But before th

• Arrogance, Thy Name is Robert Morey

  Our post earlier today about the turmoil at Irvine's Faith Community Church has already sparked discussion on its friend's blog (more below) and a comment from the church's leader, Robert Morey. And it's not just any comment--it's one so pompous and hilarious it deserved its own post. Here it is: We who actually attend Faith Community Church don’t see any schism or confusion in the church. We are happy and joyful serving the Lord. Our attendance is great and things are moving forward with gre

• What You Missed Over the Weekend Part XVIII

  This weekend had so many festivals going on that both Navel Gazing and Heard Mentality were working through the weekend. First, we had Luke Y. Thompson pulling double duty blogging his little heart out at the Newport Beach Film Festival AND attending his big movie premiere in Hollywood. While Dave Segal and Erin DeWitt were off at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio listening their little ears off for our reading pleasure. Speaking of a festivals, Gustavo Arellano attended th

• Robert Morey Has Indoctrinated Flock for Weeks on His Superiority

  We've been covering the craziness over at Faith Community Church in Irvine (led by documented truth-stretcher Robert Morey) for the past couple of days, and the funniest thing about the entire episode is how Morey and his minions only insist everything is fine to the point of deleting dissension from their blog. "We who actually attend Faith Community Church don’t see any schism or confusion in the church," Morey wrote on this blog. That's not what Morey has been preaching at FCC for over a m

• Crazy Christians Trash Schuller on National Day of Prayer

  Today is the National Day of Prayer, a chance for America's most-oppressed people—Christians—to ignore the Nazarene's advice and insist the world see them pray. Heading the affair is Shirley Dobson, wife of Focus on the Family overlord James Dobson. To plug the event, Shirley appeared on the Hour of Power this past Sunday for an interview with Crystal Cathedral head pastor Robert H. Schuller. The wacko-Christian blogosphere is incensed at Dobson for daring to praise Schuller—the man who re

• When is A Schism not a Schism?

  When wacky Robert Morey and his minions say so, of course! You'll recall last month that Morey—the resume-stretching head of Faith Community Church in Irvine and self-proclaimed Islam expert—responded to a post of my revealing dissension at his church by stating he and his faithful "don’t see any schism or confusion in the church" despite evidence to the contrary. "These poor mentally unbalanced people, whose only meaning in life to tear down other people, will eventually burn themselves

• Another Former Robert Morey Parishioner Leaves

  When someone leaves a Christian congregation, they usually do it quietly. Not so those who leave Faith Community Church, the Irvine place of worship led by "Dr." Robert Morey, the resume-stretching "expert" on Islam and emerging cult-of-personality preacher with a fabulous hairdo and fanatical teachings. There are at least three people I know who openly blog about Morey, much to his irritation. Now, add a fourth: Glenn Hendrickson. Now, I usually don't cover church member comings-and-goings, but

• Robert Morey Retires--Praise the Lord!

  The self-aggrandizing, pompous, rude, resume-stretching, hilarious, self-proclaimed expert on Islam "Dr." Robert Morey gave his last sermon yesterday at Faith Community Church in Irvine. Even in retirement, however, Morey couldn't help but be his old, anti-Christ self: he held a 50% off sale of his books. And we're glad to say that, months after our Morey coverage, quite a few blogs have popped up exposing Morey for the man he is: The Saint Augustinian, Self-Feeder Christian Blog, True Faith Def

• Arab Christian Perspectives Sues Dearborn, Thin-Skinned, Likes Robert Morey, Hates Muslims

  SaiegI thought I recognized the name Arab Christian Perspectives when I read this Orange County Register story about how the group recently filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking access to proselytize outside an Arab festival in Dearborn, Michigan. In 2004, I did a story about Christians who tried to convince Muslims outside the Islamic Society of Orange County in Garden Grove to leave their faith and join Christ. Among the groups? The Arabic Christian Education Center in Anaheim, which hosted

• Time for Boston To Give Us Their Crown as the Kings of Bigotry

  OC founding father Henry W. Head: Could take on a Bostonian any day​Let the baseball pundits obsess over whether your Angels will finally beat the Boston Red Sox in the playoffs next week--I care about stripping from Beantown what's now rightfully ours: the title of most-racist 'burb in America.​For decades, critics rightfully deemed Boston as the country's most racist big city, and seriously: what do you expect from a town where micks and goombahs have long dominated politics, culture and d
