We are now being classified as extremists by the US Army! All 1.5 BILLION of us!
"While outfits such as al Qaeda and the KKK are explicitly violent, the presentation also lists Catholicism and evangelical Protestantism as extremist groups"
Ah yes. The old "We Christians are so persecuted and marginalized! Wahhh! Wahhhhhh!" thing is really tired, not to mention a complete crock of BS.
The vast, vast majority of people in this nation self-identify as Christian. You cannot go six blocks in any town in the USA without seeing at least one church, and that's leaving aside the many mega-churches cropping up everywhere that seat thousands.
Christians have their own chains of retail businesses, their own television networks and radio stations, their own advertising firms, their own publishing companies, and on and on.
And that's all well and good; that's as it should be. It's a free country and if Christians want to own media and engage in capitalism, more power to them!
But to turn around and pretend that they are somehow persecuted, mistreated, pushed aside, etc., is complete baseless nonsense and BS.

The presentation identified seventeen religious organizations in a slide titled “religious extremism.†They include al Qaeda, Hamas, the Filipino separatist group Abu Sayyaf, and the Ku Klux Klan, which the slide identifies as a Christian organization.
Well, he's right. As a Lutheran, I got shot at 5 times on my way to work today. Yesterday it was 8 times! They're out to get us!!!!
Me too. It happens every day. I carry at least 3-4 lb of lead, copper and nickel in my body because of all the bullets. I am a non-denominational Christian. My burden is heavy.
Violent fundamentalists that use their respective religions to justify their violence are the problem. Defending those violent fringe elements who claim to be faithful for their own ends, without giving a lick of thought to what they are actually doing, doing degrades all of us Christians. It makes us all look like the violent fringe elements because every time some one says something about those violent fringe elements that happen to be Christian...people tend to scream and rave in every way possible about persecution of all Christians.
