US Army Labeled Evangelicals, Catholics as Examples of Religious Extremism

By Todd Starnes

The U.S. Army listed Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism along with Al Qaeda and Hamas during a briefing with an Army Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania, Fox News has learned.

“We find this offensive to have Evangelical Christians and the Catholic Church to be listed among known terrorist groups,” said Ron Crews, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty. “It is dishonorable for any U.S. military entity to allow this type of wrongheaded characterization.”

Don't worry about it. You're a southern lukewarm Methodist so you're even more dangerous.

Yep.

We don't eat meat on Fridays during Lent. That makes us crazy.

God never changes.

God alone suffices.

If you think that is bad, I read the Powerpoint presentation (redacted) that was cited.

Page 24 had a list of "religious extremists". The first bullet item on that list cited Evangelical Christianity.

The next page had a list of Muslim religious extremists by name. Lo and behold, not one of those names was that of Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the butcher jihadist terrorist of Ft. Hood.

The slayings took place in November, 2009. The Oministration insisted on calling these outright terrorist attacks "workplace violence."

That ****stick has been awaiting trial -- accommodated by Obama and his sycophants -- since then.

DoD has declined award of the Purple Heart to the victims of that terrorist attack on U.S. military soil.

Can there by any doubt whatsoever that Obama is in bed with the Muslims? That he is deliberately slowing down the progress of this court martial until such point that the outcome would not point a finger squarely back at Barry?

It's been more than 3 years since the attack. And not much more than games about beards and religious rights and bullshit centered around that ****ing terrorist.
