On Monday evening (local time) Bentley spoke to a parish in the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery - the same church where Martin Luther King once preached. Bentley said literally, that are those who would not see Jesus as their Savior, not his brothers and sisters. "All those who are here today and have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior, which I say: You're not my brother, and you're not my sister," quoted the "Birmingham News" the governor.
The Republicans had the Los Angeles Times, according to his speech, pointed out that non-Christians "is not the same relationship" could have him as Christians. "Governor of all people," Bill Nigut Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League ADL criticized sharply Bentley in a statement published on the web.

Bentley's claims are "shocking". the governor for the transfer should advertise to Christianity, it was contrary to the Constitution of the United States.
This prohibits it to favor the establishment of any religion, it said in the letter from the ADL. want to offend Bentley was on Tuesday to tell his office that he had no one. In a statement, it says, Bentley clearly imagine, he was the governor of all people in Alabama. The Los Angeles Times also quoted the President of the Islamic Society in Birmingham, Ashfaq Taufique.
