http://www.thenewcivilrightsmovement.com/rachelwitkin/trent_franksIn a conversation with Pastor E.W. Jackson, the failed GOP candidate for Lt. Governor in Virginia, Rep. Franks argued that ISIS will succeed because "the secular left" doesn't believe in a Christian America.
He starts off by explaining how the Nazi Party started off like ISIS, as they were "a bunch of idiots running across France in their brownshirts (who) had a horrific, evil intent but ... no capacity to do anybody any harm."
But since they were able to brainwash Germany, it led to World War II and the Holocaust. So he thinks that ISIS will be able to do the same.
"If somehow this ideology that they are putting forward begins to take root in the Islamic world of 1.3 billion people, the threat that that represents to Christianity and to the world is almost impossible for me to articulate," he said.

or geography, math, science, language, or critical thinking skills.
But they do know their Bible. Especially the parts where Jesus tells them to get rich on the backs of their fellow man, hate anyone different than them, treat the poor like the plague...
Wait, guess they don't know the Bible either.

really come across in France. It wasn't until they said "Hey guys, why don't we go to some place where they speak German. We might have more luck."
