If you bring me 1 quote from the NT/Bible where Jesus asked his followers to kill people (or if Christ did it himself), then I will promise to agree with you. You can't do that though, and that's the reason why I love Christ and became a Messianic believer

Thank you! We're all against the murder of civilians. Whether they do it in the name of my religion, Christianity, Judaism, Atheism or what have you.

That has nothing to do with the planned terrorist attacks mentioned in the OP.

For the love of the Gods, Terrorism is terrorism no matter what religion it comes from.

I'm far less afraid of Christians (I'm Jewish) than I am of muslims like the OP and what his faith actually represents and does.

One is an isolated incident, the other is a lifestyle for millions of ignorant muslim men and women, often using their own children to slaughter non-believers.

Doggart pleaded guilty last week to one count of interstate communication of threats, and he remains free on bond until his sentencing – when he faces up to five years in prison.

Prosecutors said Doggart gathered an M4 rifle, explosives, and light armor piercing bullets in connection with the plot, and investigators said he was recruiting snipers through social media and by telephone.

“When we meet in this state, the people we seek will know who we are,†Doggart told a woman during a recorded phone call. “We will be cruel to them, and we will burn down their buildings. If anyone attempts to harm us in any way, our stand gunner will take them down from 350 yards away.â€

“The standoff gunner would be me,†Doggart added.

“If it gets down to the machete, we will cut them to shreds,†he told the informant."

I'm happy the FBI is doing a good job of taking right-wing Christian extremism seriously.
Lmao!!! This is typical of most of what vets labeled as "right wing extremism". Some daffy as an outhouse rat scramble brain , with a "plan" my dog could best. Goose stepping morons, dressing in pieced together camo, who have fired a military style GU , managed to hit the target a couple times at close range, and think they are now a trained sniper, with tactical experience.

"Dangerous" , mostly via their idiocy. Like this guy. This is hardly what can be labeled as a serious threat. Worth picking the guyup for, yes, but hhardly a major "extreme right wing .major terror plan". As if this was a multi pronged, organized, well funded and lots of man power with real skills operation? Hardly. ISIS, Al Queda, and such are far more worthy of manpower and resources.

The local SO could have easily handled this. Andy and Barney could have handled this.

And I am far less afraid of Muslims (I'm Jewish) than I am of Christians with a persecution complex. All the violence and discrimination I have faced due to my faith has been at the hands of Christians. The burning cross on my front lawn as a child, stuff thrown through windows displaying menorahs, the threats at school, the being spirited away to church to be told my entire family was going to burn in hell when I thought I was just going to a slumber party... and yet, I know that is not representative of all Christians, just like I know terrorism is not representative of all Muslims.

Most Christians are good people who just want to worship in peace. The same is true of Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc - all of which have extremist groups that make up a small portion of their population. Unfortunately, powerful religious leaders have a penchant for pushing their political goals via religious bastardization. It's particularly effective if your population is poor and uneducated, as much of the Muslim world. Look at poor nations in Africa - Muslim and Christian nations both have unspeakable human rights violations in the name of their respective religions at the hands of extremists with an agenda.

So what? Just because the ME is overrun with muslim terrorists, that doesn't mean we should allow ourselves to be overrun with christian terrorists.

From what I've seen, the danger from Muslim extremists outweighs that of right wing extremists by a factor of about 10,000 to 1. Exactly how many people have right wing extremists beheaded, raped or burned alive during the last year? That tells you everything you need to know about proportionality.

So stop throwing out the red herrings.

Remind me of this

http://terminallance.com/wp-content/...g_News_web.gif

Media doesn't have to constantly provide breathtaking details throughout the entire article. The simple steps to get an audience's attention are taught in every high school writing class: Have a catchy title, or start with a thought-provoking question.

Japanese-americans have always been considered as extreme loyal, German-Americans have proven to be loyal after wwi, they have always been the American patriots. but both Japanese-American and German-Americans have been put in internment camp. In hawaii today, we have kill a J*P day. I thought that was funny as hell. It was just a joke and nobody was offended by it. Many German-Americans changed their last name during wwII. Man, talking about real fear.

Veterans, especially the combat veterans have been labeled crazy vets as if everybody is waiting to kill somebody.

Meh, everybody has to deal with it. Crying racism is getting too damn old.

An old mentally disturbed person who made some threat, everybody is crying "right wing Christian terrorist".
