Yes, I know this is only a small sect of a much, much, much larger religion, one in which the vast majority of adherents are not violent, but hey, this is exactly what the Muslim haters do on C-D every single day. As they say, what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
except that isnt true about all christian churches. there are a few militant ones around, though, but they dont represent christianity.

The beginning of a Christian ISIS perhaps. What happened to turn the other cheek. Do we give tax exemption to religious inspired para military organizations?

The difference is the non violent Muslims support the violent ones. But that's a different topic for another thread.

Prove that statement. Because everything I've seen from the mainstream non-violent Muslim community says the exact opposite.

You're getting all worked up because a church wants their own security detail. This security detail's job, even if sworn, is to protect the lives and property of a very large church. They abide by the laws and training requirement of any other security or law enforcement agency. If something were to happen, they can detain the suspect until the city PD picks him up. This is not some sort of morality police force anymore than campus police are there to make sure you're doing your homework. The stupidity in this thread abounds.

Like I said, this is off topic. If it was on topic I would explain in detail.

]Blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus was the first to say "Make America Great Again". He shouted it from a mountaintop near Jerusalem more than two thousand years ago. Then he reminded his flock to renew their NRA memberships.

Brilliant rebuttal you got there. And actually God is for people having a means of defense.
