AN AMERICAN pastor who has said Hitler was carrying out “God’s will” by chasing the Jews from Europe is coming to Birmingham.

MP Richard Burden (Lab Northfield) has tabled questions in the House of Commons asking Theresa May, the Home Secretary, why Pastor John Hagee is being allowed into the country to hold a rally in the city.

Rev Hagee, who also described the Roman Catholic Church as “the great whore” and a “false cult system”, will deliver sermons at the city’s Symphony Hall on August 19 and 20.

On his website, the televangelist described the event as a “Rally & Prophecy Seminar”.

In one sermon, Mr Hagee compared Adolf Hitler to a “hunter” sent by God to force Jews to live in Israel.

Rev Hagee has also suggested that Hurricane Katrina was God’s retribution for homosexual sin.

In 2008, US presidential hopeful John McCain rejected the backing of the church leader over his view of the holocaust.

During a sermon, Rev Hagee said the Nazi leader was carrying out a divine plan to gather Jews into the Holy Land.
