Christian terrorists


Attempted bombing foiled

I suppose it had to happen.

Christian terrorists.

While the antiabortion, antigay Army of God is the best known Christian terror organization in the U.S., there are others who come to violence via their particular religious vision.

The most recent example of what police describe as a "domestic terrorist group" is in the news in Texas today. The Fort Worth Star Telegram reports that three young men, part of a small domestic terror cell, were arrested for the attempted bombing of a conservative evangelical church. The article doesn't say why this church was targeted except that, according to the police, the group does not believe that Christianity should have more than one denomination, and that the group is dedicated to violence to bring people around to their point of view.

It's the old "power over vs. power with" thing again.

If the only way you can convince people is by imposing force, you are wrong. Even defending others so they don't have to defend themselves is morally questionable.

It's that simple.
