2. "radical fundamentalist christian terrorist"

Your average sunday churchgoer is as much a terrorist as your average muslim. Lets call it like it is.

Radical cleric? Yep, that descibes falwell perfectly.

4. Ah but...

I was living in the UK and watched a show by Muslims on Muslims. There was a whole cross-section of the Muslim community from a white, female convert to an immigrat iman to a non-veiled, Anglicised young woman. A question was posed as to whether they would contact the police if they knew of a fellow Muslim's involvement in terrorist activities. Out of the eight or so people question, not one, not one would openly say they would inform the authorities. Everyone wanted to 'deal with it within the Muslim community'. Some probably would call the police, but the social pressure not to be a 'grass' was clearly intense.

Now I'm no fan of Christians of any stripe, but with a diverse selection of Christians I would be shocked if any of them would refuse to openly admit that they would turn over someone engaged in terrorist activities. Yes, people here and there may have sheltered a terrorist like Eric Rudolph but they are a tiny exception. I am yet to be convinced that a significant proportion of Muslims, perhaps even a majority would be fundamentally unwilling to contact the proper authorities.

5. a link?

was it a BBC show?

There have been plenty of Fundalmentalist Christian terrorists in this counrty. Have any of them been turned over to authorities by thier fellow Christians?

I live not too far from Murphy NC, nobody turned Rudolph in, he was simply caught.

6. There needs to be more attention

drawn to Domestic Terrorism. Most all of it is religiously oriented in Christianity and racist.

These nutkakes are normally the vocal ones supporting the NRA, literally all that I know personally harbor an arsenal at home.

Meanwhile, if you point out the misdeeds of these charlatans masquerading as gawds servants, then the entire Christian community seems to respond with some kind of incoherent and emotional argument that drips with the sour tears of self-righteous martyrdom.
