Terror in our midst

[elfs]

If you want to read one of those articles that makes you wonder about whether or not the far right posesses a single brain cell, read They Are Here and They Are Out To Get You.

But she has one paragraph that got me.:

Name one Hindu group that has proclaimed the death of all Christians everywhere. Name a Jain organization that is beheading hostages. Name a Christian group that sends its children out to die with the promise of joining Jesus. Name a Tibetan monastery that has proclaimed its followers shall rule the world, by force if necessary. Name on Buddhist group that is blowing up innocents anywhere. Name a Sikh movement that kills those who choose a different faith.

For the Hindus, Hindutva qualifies. For the Sikhs, the Babar Khalista movement. for Buddhists, Gangodavila Soma a few months ago burned down a church in Sri Lanka. As for the Christians, I hardly know where to begin.

Ms. Whilite is not only insane, she doesn't know her history.

[Edit] For swirlgrrl: Ms. Whilite says she once had a bumper sticker that read, "Vegetarians eat Vegetables. I'm a Humanitarian." until she realized there really were such people.

If, for the Christian groups, you're thinking of largely historical examples (indeed plentiful), just be sure to stock up on current ones as well; having been down this discussional pike before, the sort of people who proclaim these sort of "facts" are usually completely unwilling to accept any examples from the past. "They're apples and oranges, apples and oranges!", "Lessons from history are irrelevant!" and such. Gnnnn... *gark*

Not that you are in fact about to engage Ms. Whilite in a debate... But for any others of her ilk, my favourite now-active groups are the National Liberation Front of Tripura, a Baptist terrorist group which targets Hindus and Moslems for forcible conversions; and that perennial darling, The Army of God (http://www.prochoice.org/Violence/History/armyofgod.htm) (not be confused with The Army of God!
