US preacher blames Sandy on homosexuals Mcternan's blog quickly went viral, as readers picked up on his claims that far from being extreme weather, Sandy was "the Holy God of Israel systematically destroying America right before our eyes." Mcternan also wades into foreign policy with a claim that "Obama is 100 percent behind the Muslim Brotherhood which has vowed to destroy Israel and take Jerusalem." After hundreds contacted him in outrage, he posted a qualification: " I am not saying this super destructive hurricane was because of the homosexual act...what I am saying is the judgment is for the government promoting homosexual "marriage" as an ordinance. Mcternan has a history of blaming extreme weather events on homosexuality - he said the same of Hurricane Isaac.
