To answer your Q from earlier, this piece of news barely got any press from the MSM and as we can see the perpetrator has been released. I just have a hard time believing that if this was a Muslim that the MSM would have ignored it and that the accused would be walking the streets as we speak. There's a dangerous double standard.

From page 1...

You edited your post. This post is about Christian terrorism in the USA and reporting it, which the MSM tends to ignore. Islamic terrorism would be a topic of another post or news bulletin, not this one.

I understand your concern about media double standard. But if this is the purpose to start this thread, you could have said "Christian extremist made deadly threat against Muslim community, no media outrage" We can discuss accordingly.

Your OP makes me believe that you just want to point out Christian extremists are just as bad as Muslim extremists, which many here would agree. But Muslim terrorism seems to be a global political movement, in my humble opinion. So yes, your religion has indeed been hijacked.
That is not the answer I was looking for.

The Holy Bible includes both the New and Old Testaments.

Terrorism/Violence is not justified in Christianity, but it is in Islam. You must read the Quran, and the life of Muhammad. You know that Muhammad beheaded hundreds of Jews? It wasn't Christ that did that. Open your eyes, stop hating people or justify it based on few individual people!
My dad is Christian, try again.

What should I have believed when people burned a cross on my front lawn because we were Jewish? Or threw rocks/bricks through out windows because we had a menorah (next to a Christmas tree)?

I don't hate Christians, but it seems very much that a subset of Christians hated me and my family.

I don't believe in the the Christian Bible and Jesus was a false prophet. You don't see me burning the New Testaments that have been left in my mailbox (but none of my neighbors ) or handed to me on the street. I either turn them down or give them to the Goodwill. I wouldn't dream of burning *any* book, much less another's religious book, no matter how much I disagree.

Where did Jesus encourage you to disrespect other faiths?

Which, that's all that this person seemingly was planning to do. Terrorism.

I think this is the first time I have ever agreed with you!
