Killers Who Claim To Be Doing God's Will
Sadly Rosie isn't lying. Apparently like the majority of Christians Donald Dunnam is either choosing to ignore or condone Christian killers. Mr. Dunnam asked for proof that radical Christianity is as bad as radical Islam, well here it is.
Paul Hill murdered an abortion doctor and his guard in 1994, in the name of Christianity.
A shadowy group calling itself the Army of God took responsibility for the 1998 bombing of an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, that killed one person, they also took responsibility for two bombings in Atlanta in 1997.
In Spokane, Washington, three men who claimed ties to the Phineas Priesthood were charged with two bank robberies and the bombings of a newspaper office and a Planned Parenthood clinic. In case you are unfamiliar with the Phineas Priesthood they are named for a Bible story in which Phineas slew an interracial couple having sex. Today's Phineas Priesthood is supposedly made up of like-minded lone killers, who have taken it upon themselves to do God's will.
2001 Over 170 abortion clinics and doctors' offices in 14 states and the District of Columbia received threatening letters claiming to contain anthrax. ." When opened by clinic staff, all letters contained a white powder with a letter stating, "You have been exposed to anthrax. We are going to kill all of you. Army of God, Virginia DARE Chapter."
2003 Klan leader David Wayne Hull was arrested at his Washington County, Pennsylvania, home on February 13 for allegedly planning to blow up an abortion clinic. Hull is also a follower of Christian Identity, a racist and anti-Semitic sect whose adherents believe that white people are God's chosen people, descended from the lost tribes of ancient Israel, and that minorities are soulless "mud peoples."
2006 Weiler told police he made a pipe bomb to attack an abortion clinic, a car in Weiler's driveway had a frame around the front license plate that read "Choose Life" and "God is pro-Life."
Then there is David Koresh and the Branch Davidians in Waco, who were stock piling fire arms.
Until Christians are willing to speak out about those who claim to be doing God's will when they kill, we are as guilty as the Muslims who do not speak out against radical Islam. Burrying our heads in the sand and claiming that radical Christians "aren't that bad" as Mr Dunnam claims is WRONG. We must acknowlege the problem in order to end it. While I don't often agree with Rosie I applaud her for having the courage to point out that radical Christianity is just as bad as radical Islam.
