Showing Original Post only (View all)ISIS and “Christian” Extremists: Both of them are terrorist organizations. [View all]
https://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2015/02/18/isis-and-christian-extremists-both-of-them-are-terrorist-organizations/Lot of source info at the link.
Both groups want to murder millions of infidels so as to bring about the end of the world. Both groups cherry-pick their respective Scriptures to justify the evil acts they perpetrate upon others. Both are run by malevolent geniuses who are followed by hateful, gullible, violent f***wits with room-temperature IQs. And both have useful idiots in the media who try to paint them as something other than what they are.
Lets start with ISIS, (and lets call them Daesh, because it is accurate, and because they hate being called by that name).
Here is an excellent article on them, worth the click. Pretty long piece, so here are a very few snippets:
The Islamic State, also known as the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), follows a distinctive variety of Islam whose beliefs about the path to the Day of Judgment matter to its strategy, and can help the West know its enemy and predict its behavior. Its rise to power is less like the triumph of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (a group whose leaders the Islamic State considers apostates) than like the realization of a dystopian alternate reality in which David Koresh or Jim Jones survived to wield absolute power over not just a few hundred people, but some 8 million.
Following takfiri doctrine, the Islamic State is committed to purifying the world by killing vast numbers of people. The lack of objective reporting from its territory makes the true extent of the slaughter unknowable, but social-media posts from the region suggest that individual executions happen more or less continually, and mass executions every few weeks.
Pretty gruesome, youll agree. But not all that different from various Christian Millenialist groups (well call them Teavangelicals, because it is likewise accurate, and they also hate being called by that name).
Teavangelicals think they should rule the world as a theocracy. Just as Daesh does:
Kingdom Now theology states that althoughSatan has been in control of the world since the Fall, God is looking for people who will help him take back dominion. Those who yield themselves to the authority of Gods apostles and prophets will take control of the kingdoms of this world, being defined as all social institutions, the kingdom of education, the kingdom of science, the kingdom of the arts, etc.
Teavangelicals want to re-enslave people (Women, people of color, etc). Again, Daesh also believes in slavery. Check out this quote from a Fundie:
Im not going to sugarcoat this article in an attempt not to offend anyone. Feminism is rebellion against Gods AUTHORITY! I dont know where the term feminazi originated, but it accurately describes the Feminist Movement. So many pastors today are afraid to preach against the evils of feminism. The truth needs to be told!
Americas churches, marriages and homes are being destroyed by the vile feminist agenda. Women are now filing for divorce atTWICE the rate of men because of feminism. A godly man is a threat to the feminists agenda, because he believes that a womans place is still in the homebaking cookies, knitting, and caring for the children (1st Timothy 5:14). Of course, hen pecked husbands and sissies are exempt.
Thats what Teavangelicals say about women. As to POC? Here you go, straight from the horses ass:
Collier also said that he and his followers believe that whites are Gods chosen people. While he denies that racism is at the heart of the event, he admits that some members and attendees are Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members (but membership in the Klan isnt a requirement).
And this little bon mot:
WE BELIEVE the White, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic and kindred people to be Gods true, literal Children of Israel. Only this race fulfills every detail of Biblical Prophecy and World History concerning Israel and continues in these latter days to be heirs and possessors of the Covenants, Prophecies, Promises and Blessings YHVH God made to Israel. This chosen seedline making up the Christian Nations (Gen. 35:11; Isa. 62:2; Acts 11:26) of the earth stands far superior to all other peoples in their call as Gods servant race (Isa. 41:8, 44:21; Luke 1:54). Only these descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel scattered abroad (James 1:1; Deut. 4:27; Jer. 31:10; John 11:52) have carried Gods Word, the Bible, throughout the world (Gen. 28:14; Isa. 43:10-12, 59:21), have used His Laws in the establishment of their civil governments and are the Christians opposed by the Satanic Anti-Christ forces of this world who do not recognize the true and living God (John 5:23, 8:19, 16:2-3).
And are Teavangelicals violent like Daesh? Yep. Click here to get acquainted with the many Christians who behead, rape, bomb, torture and assassinate anyone their diseased brains tell them to. Here and abroad.
This writer certainly has no love for Daesh. They are lunatic mass-murderers, among other disgusting characteristics. We cannot, however, pretend that they are any different than the Teavangelicals. We have at least as big a problem with the supposed followers of Rebbe Yeshua bar Joseph as we do with those who pervert the teachings of Mohammed (peace be on him).
Any Christian who wants to pretend otherwise should remember this little quote from their professed Lord and Savior in Matthew 7:
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brothers eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brothers eye.
All terrorists are evil. All of them, regardless of motivation or religion. Look at them with clear eyes, and youll see it

I think they both have extremist ideologies, but one is a specific organization and the other is not

Sure - but nowhere near the same extent. There are Buddhist and Hindu terror groups too

Best to confront these "terrorists" as soon as possible, like, at the visitor parking space.
