Reminds me of Obamas distorted history lesson on the Crusades excuse to justify violence.Ever heard of The Army of God? Like all the other groups, the majority of Christians I believe are good hearted, but also like all other groups there are idiot extremists who justify their violence with their religious and/or political beliefs.Muslims have Isis... ever heard of them?Do name one event disrupted or destroyed by any group that was not leftist. Even Muslims don't do it.Surprise surprise, the Left along with the Right, Christians, and Muslims all have a fraction of idiots just looking to disrupt and destroy things. I'd hope that smarter minds would realize that people like this exist in all walks of life and use whatever excuse, whether it be religious or political to justify their outrage and violence.
It's a shame that the conversation isn't bringing moderate intellectual civil minded people together to cast these factions out. Instead we seem to try and paint everybody in each group with those who are the most extreme and furthering the division and strength of the wingnuts.
You all painting the Left with the same brush as these protestors are just as bad as the Left that calls you racist bigots. So i guess that makes you no better than them since you're playing the same game. Perhaps its time to rise above.
And with what carnage do you charge Christians? What things have they destroyed that has you lumping them in with Muslims? Christian's beheading your friends are they?

1. The Army of God
A network of violent Christianists that has been active since the early 1980s, the Army of God openly promotes killing abortion providers—and the long list of terrorists who have been active in that organization has included Paul Jennings Hill (who was executed by lethal injection in 2003 for the 1994 killings of abortion doctor John Britton and his bodyguard James Barrett), John C. Salvi (who killed two receptionists when he attacked a Planned Parenthood clinic in Brookline, Massachusetts in 1994) and Eric Rudolph, who is serving life in prison for his role in the Olympic Park bombing in Atlanta in 1996 and other terrorist acts. Rudolph, in fact, has often been exalted as a Christian hero on the Army of God’s website, as have fellow Army of God members such as Scott Roeder (who is serving life without parole for murdering Wichita, Kansas-based abortion doctor George Tiller in 2009), Shelley Shannon (who attempted to kill Tiller in 2003) and Michael Frederick Griffin (who is serving a life sentence for the 1993 killing of Dr. David Gunn, an OB-GYN, in Pensacola, Florida).
Although primarily an anti-abortion organization, the Army of God also has a history of promoting violence against gays. And one of the terrorist acts that Rudolph confessed to was bombing a lesbian bar in Atlanta in 1997.
