Sheila Jackson Lee asks about ‘Christian militants’ during anti-Muslim hearing | Raw Replay

I had written a couple times earlier about the notion of "Christian Terrorists" here here and here , how Leftists, Secularists and anti-Christian bigots like Sheila Jackson Lee draws moral equivalency between groups they despise and other bad actors. This is shameless, but then again Lee is one of the most stupid people in public office, a liar, anti-Christian bigot and racist.
Vid of her inane and stupid utterances on the issue:
Sheila Jackson Lee asks about ‘Christian militants’ during anti-Muslim hearing | Raw Replay

“Are you familiar with the Christian militants?” she asked former New York Dept. of Correctional Services official Patrick Dunleavy. “Can one might say that they might possibly want to undermine this country because right now the right for women to choose is a Constitutional right but people disagree with it but here is an individual trying to undermine the protections that are given to women? Would you suggest that might be compared to trying to undermine this country? That’s a possibility, is it not?”

Love how these self important narcissists, in hearing after hearing, ask a question, and then drone on without letting a complete answer being provided. I used to be an avid CSPAN watcher, but it fell away mostly for that reason.  

Looks Like Those Christian Terrorists Are Back

I had written about Christian Terrorists!!! a year ago, about the idea of Christian fundamentalists and Muslim fundamentalists being equivalent. Since then the idea just keeps popping up.

The latest transgression is by none other than Harvey Cox, one of the most influential and insightful theologians of the twentieth century. How a thinker of his stature could fall to this low is beyond me. Writing in the Boston Globe, article here, about the history of religious fundamentalism, he drew the comparison.

Cox: "As the 20th century ended and a new one began, fundamentalism has taken on more formidable shapes, both politically and religiously. Though most of its adherents work through spiritual and educational channels, the small minority that turn to violence have caught the media’s attention. If some seem ready to die for faith, others are ready to kill for it, gunning down abortion doctors in church, hijacking planes, and exploding bombs at weddings. For plenty of thoughtful people, fundamentalism has come to represent the most dangerous threat to open societies since the fall of communism."

My observations in my previous blog show that the comparison is outrageous. In the context Cox puts it, the gunning down of an abortion doctor in church happened exactly one time. No Christian fundamentalist has ever hijacked a plane. Since 1972, when Roe vs Wade was passed, that's thirty two years, eight abortion doctors or staff have been murdered, all of them denounced by Christians. I don't hear any, well maybe very weak, denunciations of acts of Islamofasist violence by Muslims. The massive violence and terror is perpetrated by Muslims. Just look at the hard cold numbers.

I expect such nonsense from anti-Christians, but am very surprised that Harvey Cox expressed it. There's a lot of good observations in the article, and it's worth the reading time. I recommend his most widely read book 'The Secular City: Secularization and Urbanization in Theological Perspective'.

I'm just disappointed that someone I so admired since I was a teenager would say something like this. I'll just chalk it up to an aberration, and hope he doesn't revisit the comparison. Hopefully he'll correct it.

Christian Terrorists!!!

After I saw the satirical movie "An American Carol", I was commenting to a liberal, non-Christian friend about a funny scene of people going through all the security hassles at the airport, shoes off, metal detectors, extra waiting in line, profiling, the whole security drill, and blaming it on the terrorism of Christian fundamentalists. My throw away comment was the nonsensical and patently untrue observation that Christian fundamentalists are just as threatening as Islamic fundamentalists. She commented back, with seriousness, that Christian fundamentalists were as dangerous and threatening. I'm sick of hearing it. I hear and read it in many media outlets. Christians may have a few nutty cults that usually isolate themselves from society, and a few loopy preachers that make wacky comments. Remember these?


1. 1968 Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed by a Muslim male extremist.

2. In 1972 at the Munich Olympics, athletes were kidnapped and massacred by Muslim male extremists.

3. In 1979, the US embassy in Iran was taken over by Muslim male extremists.

4. During the 1980's a number of Americans were kidnapped in Lebanon by Muslim male extremists.

5. In 1983, the US Marine barracks in Beirut was blown up by Muslim male extremists.

6. In 1985 the cruise ship Achille Lauro was hijacked and a 70 year old American passenger was murdered and thrown overboard in his wheelchair by Muslim male extremists.

7. In 1985 TWA flight 847 was hijacked at Athens, and a US Navy diver trying to rescue passengers was murdered by Muslim male extremists.

8. In 1988, Pan Am Flight 103 was bombed by Muslim male extremists.

9. In 1993 the World Trade Center was bombed the first time by Muslim male extremists.

10. In 1998, the US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania were bombed by Muslim male extremists.

11. On 9/11/01, four airliners were hijacked; two were used as missiles to take down the World Trade Centers and of the remaining two, one crashed into the US Pentagon and the other was diverted and crashed by the passengers. Thousands of people were killed by Muslim male extremists.

12. In 2002 the United States fought a war in Afghanistan against Muslim male extremists.

13. In 2002 reporter Daniel Pearl was kidnapped and murdered by-- you guessed it-- Muslim male extremists.

What do we do? Ensure we Americans never offend anyone, particularly fanatics' intent on killing us, airport security screeners aren't allowed to profile certain people... Absolutely No Profiling!

They conduct random searches of 80-year-old women, little kids, airline pilots with proper identification, secret agents who are members of the President's security detail, 85-y ear old Congressmen with metal hips, and Medal of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss, but leave Muslim Males alone lest they be guilty of profiling.



Can I hear from any of my non-Christian, secular friends, or liberals, about the same acts of violence by Christian fundamentalists? I doubt it. I'll take a loopy preacher any day.
