Calling A Spade A spade
WHY IS IT THAT seemingly the same people who insist that we use the term "radical Islamic terrorism", refuse to not only not use the term "radical Christian terrorism", they refuse to admit that it even exists, or ever has. The crusades were centuries ago, and therefore irrelevant. The fact that there is indeed a type of terrorism perpetuated by extremely devout Muslims, when these terrorists commit mass murder of any other terroristic act, the Islamic community, overwhelmingly, banishes themm from the faith, and does not want the faith to be named as part of the terrorism. And really, its as simple as that. The term "radical ISLAMIC TERRORISM", which American conservatives must be used, offends ninety nine point nine percent of the Islamic community, and thus, smart American liberals do not use it. What the KKK has done, does, and stands for is nothing other than radical Christian terrorism", OK? Like it or not, Klan members are among the most devout Christians. The fact is, the Christian faith, just like the Islamic faith, has been and still is full of terrorists, hate mongers, whatever you want to call them. And yet, they tend to be but a small minority, with a large megaphone. One could argue against the desirability of organized religion based on that fact. Devout Christian mainstream American conservatives shudder at the very thought of "Christian terrorism", and particularly "conservative Christian terrorism", but here it is, out in the open in our society, being treated as the invisible white elephant in the room by those whose views are fundamentally similar. Its amazing how many different ways Jesus and the bible can be interpreted. There is no other possible conclusion than that slavery is condoned in the Christian bible. This is why books are designed only to give names to our mistakes, at the very best, like Goethe said, and why if God chose to reveal HIS truth in a book, he couldn't've picked a worse, or stupider, of doing it.
