I’m telling you damn-it, it’s those Christians we need to worry about, not Islam.
ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF PEACE
VIDEO DESCRIPTION: An excerpt from “An American Carol” movie: “It’s the Christians!”. Have you been afraid of radical Arab terrorists? You’ve seen nothing yet! It’s the Christians, and they’re coming in force to terrorize the United States into religious slavery!
What about people who bomb abortion clinics in America?
When reading on the internet about Islamic terrorism, commenters often mention that there is also terrorism by Christian fundamentalists in America, where there have been bombings of abortion clinics and shootings of abortion providers.
How prevalent is this form of American domestic terrorism? In recent years there have been round about 15,000 – 20,000 murders in total per year in the US. How many of these were of abortion providers?
Guess now. Scribble your answer down.
If you had asked me a few months ago I would have said three or four murders per year.
Considered over the last fifteen years I was overestimating somewhat. According to the best-known pro-abortion organisation in the US, NARAL Pro-Choice America,
Since 1993, seven clinic workers – including three doctors, two clinic employees, a clinic escort, and a security guard – have been murdered in the United States. Seventeen attempted murders have also occurred since 1991.
That figure comes from a document published in December 2007. So far as I know the figures have not changed since then.
However the phrasing “Since 1993 seven abortion clinic workers have been murdered in the United States” could be re-arranged, with equal truth, to say that “since 1998 no abortion clinic workers have been murdered in the United States.”
The last such murder was ten years ago today.
When I first found out this fact I was surprised. Again and again I have read comments that assumed that this type of terrorism was less deadly than Islamic terrorism but was nonetheless a steadily lethal undercurrent of American life – a death here, a death there.

Is America Really Under Attack From Conservative Right-Wing Terrorist Who Want Civil War? by Damon Whitsell
The “I BET YOU CAN’T LOOK AT ISLAM IN THE NEWS AND NOT SEE EVIL” Challenge
Actually no. But yesterday I became highly concerned that the opposite is probably true and I expect there will be mass riots, at the least, if Obama does not win re-election.
Although I was studying to do a writing on the leftist twisting of the heretical/heterodoxical movement in Christianity named by sociologist Dominionism, to smear Christian Conservatives (see Christian Dominionism Is a Myth, Michele Bachmann and Dominionism Paranoia, Kingdom Coming…Buyer Beware and Why is the media so ignorant about religion?), The Tea Party and the political right in general – I kinda got side tracked.
While researching, reading mostly articles about the “dangers of Dominionism”, I took a break to check my Facebook and I found this article on far Leftist giving Romney and Ryan death wishes via Twitter, and one recently published with many leftist tweets calling for all Conservatives to kill themselves – that I regretfully did not bookmark. Then I found this one “Do liberals really want a second civil war in America?” and this one Right-wing extremist terrorism as deadly a threat as al Qaeda?. And then when I checked my email I got this article yesterday, America under attack by right-wing terrorists, published by Leonard Pitts Jr and the Chicago Tribune, via a Google Alert on Michelle Bachmann.
Pitts and the Chicago Tribune said, “In the almost 20 years since the first attack by Muslim extremists on the World Trade Center, the following things have happened: the bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City leaves 168 dead and hundreds more injured; one person is killed, more than 100 wounded, in a bombing at the Olympics in Atlanta; seven people are arrested for plotting to attack U.S. military bases; Dr. Barnett Slepian is shot and killed in Amherst, N.Y.; five people die in a shooting spree near Pittsburgh; the FBI arrests a man who tried to buy ingredients for sarin, the deadly nerve gas, from an undercover agent; Dr. George Tiller is shot and killed in Wichita, Kan.; a man and his daughter are killed in their home in Arivaca, Ariz.; a man flies a small plane into a building in Austin, killing himself and one other. And now, this.”
Then Pitts goes on to say “These incidents and dozens more comprise a list maintained by the Southern Poverty Law Center in a publication entitled “Terror From the Right: Plots, Conspiracies and Racist Rampages Since Oklahoma City.” What they all have in common is that they spring from motivations (i.e., opposition to taxation, government, immigrants, blacks, gays, abortion and Muslims) that more or less define modern, mainstream, conservatism”, and Pitts blithely continues “So yes, it is time to say the obvious thing no one seems to be saying: America is under attack by right-wing terrorists.”
But if you look at his definition of what he says “more or less define modern, mainstream, conservatism” as “opposition to taxation, government, immigrants, blacks, gays, abortion and Muslims”, you can get a feeling something just ain’t right because conservatives are for limited government rather than anti-government, reduced taxes rather than no taxation, legal immigration rather than anti-immigrant and pro-illegal immigration, and of course they have to throw the race card in – which is an absurd insult to all black Conservatives and Republicans. Also Conservatives are not “opposed to gays” but supportive of centuries old traditional marriage between one man and one woman. It is also a farce to say conservatives are opposed to abortion, in an absolute sense. And lets be honest, if being opposed to Islam was “more or less” a tenet of conservatism, there would not have been so much talk from the GOP about shutting up Bachmann, and others, for calling for an investigation into Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into our government and other institutions.
So what do you find when you examine the Southern Poverty Law Center publication entitled “Terror From the Right: Plots, Conspiracies and Racist Rampages Since Oklahoma City” (that Pitts does not bother to link to), well, you’ll have to take a look. And I am sure you will because your probably thinking, just when the hell did all these conservative right-wing terrorist attacks happen, how could myself and the media miss all of these – or is something just not right?
What you will see is, don’t take my word for it – take a look, they call Neo-Nazis, White Supremacist, the Ku Klux Klan, Anti-Government Activist, Militias and just about any nefarious individuals or groups as “right wing” – despite the fact that some of these groups and individuals have leftist, democrat roots and ideology, such as the KKK. Or does Pitts realize that the SPLC list crimes with no convictions as right-wing caused and they list anti-Semitics as right-wing, when Conservatives tend to be pro-Israel? Pitts also left out that the SPLC have ignored Obama linked Leftist Bill Ayers, the “Leader of the Weather Underground, a domestic terrorist group of the 1960s and ’70s”, who, “Participated in the bombings of New York City Police Headquarters in 1970, the Capitol building in 1971, and the Pentagon in 1972.” And what about the leftist Occupy Movement? While there have been no deaths by OWS,, yet, there is no doubt their thousands of arrest for public violence was politically motivated.
And of course Pitts left out the shooting that happened at the christian conservative Family Research Center, much earlier that day, where the shooter told one of his victims, “It was not about you, it was about what this place stands for” before shooting. Today the Family Research Council President Tony Perkins said “(the shooter) is clearly to blame for yesterday’s violence” but “he believes that organizations such as Southern Poverty Law Center, who labeled the FRC as a “hate group” for their defense of traditional Christian values, provided him with the license to carry out such an attack”. Perkins sums his feelings up saying “I think it’s time for people to realize what the Southern Poverty Law Center is doing with their reckless labeling of organizations that they disagree with.” Perkins also says “I am not saying that the Southern Poverty Law Center is responsible for the shooting. Mr. Corkins is responsible for the shooting. They are responsible for creating an environment that led to yesterday’s shooting”. To me, it is starting to look like it is even possible that Pitts knows the SPLC organization gets funding from Soros groups, and just keeps it concealed.
