Are there no American terrorists?

[flamin lib]

"Whomever did this, we should immediately drop a nuclear bomb over their country." Rush Limbaugh, ten years ago yesterday.

Ten years ago yesterday Tim McVeigh detonated a truckload of explosives in front of the Oklahoma City building housing the local FBI office. On the ground floor immediately in front of that truck was a daycare center.

Last week Eric Rudolf was sentenced to life in prison for planting a number of bombs at Women’s Clinics, Gay bars and the Olympic Village killing and maiming many innocent bystanders.

Tim McVeigh was a member of the Christian Identity movement.

Eric Rudolf was a member of the Army of God.

No one in the main stream media has labeled either of them a terrorist. No one in the main stream media has called them Christian extremists.

I have not received a single email from my Conservative Christian friends denouncing the actions of radical Christian sects but I’ve received dozens of emails, many of them urging violence, pronouncing hatred for every Muslim in the world.

What can we take from this? It appears that for the Main Stream Media only people with brown skin can be terrorists. It appears that for the Christian Conservatives radical Christian groups blowing up Women’s clinics and daycare centers doesn’t paint the entire religion with their insanity but similar actions by Muslim extremists dooms the entire 1.5 Billion Muslims to death and destruction.

Makes you wonder, “What would Jesus do?”

1. Google The Order, Robert Jay Mathews, Bruders Schweigen, etc.

You'll find what you're looking for...

2. Nope, apparently...

Islamic Extremist = Terrorist that we need to hunt down and kill

Christian Extremist = activist taking frustration into his own hands (which is understandable according to Cornyn)

about how far left groups like ELF are on the Homeland Security watch list, but there are no far right groups on the list, like Army of God or Christian Identity, even though they are responsible for many more (and more deadly) acts of terror.
