Well I guess this is the way things are going. I hope that this is an isolated incident but I doubt it.

That's because they are.

Are they extremist on a level equal with terrorist groups? Of course not. But evangelicals are pretty extreme in the context of modern America. Catholics, in my experience, aren't as extreme.

Odd perspective coming from an organization that is responsible for the deaths of so many

Actually I read that law makers are being urged to focus more on right wing and extreme left wing groups in America.

It was a slide show done by one individual, it is not an "official" slide, and it was deleted after complaints were received. Individuals make mistakes. I doubt the Mormans were real thrilled with it, if they know about it.

Army spokesman George Wright told Fox News that this was an “isolated incident not condoned by the Dept. of the Army.”

“This slide was not produced by the Army and certainly does not reflect our policy or doctrine,” he said. “It was produced by an individual without anyone in the chain of command’s knowledge or permission.”

So, basically, what we've determined is that there is at least one soldier in a force of 1.1 million that thinks evangelical Christianity and Catholicism are examples of religious extremism. So? In a group that size there is at least one person who thinks [fill in the blank - anything].

And now back to your regularly scheduled persecution complex!

One Army presenter makes a dumb placard and the world goes nuts.

how did the freaking Mormans make the list? The most subversive thing I've encounter with a Mormon is a knock on my door.
