CHRISTIAN TERRORISTS

Christian terrorists have a long history of violence in the United States, beginning with the Salem 'witch' lynching by the Puritans, followed by the lynching of Black men by the Ku Klux Klan, the American Indian boarding schools run by churches, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing by Christian Patriots, the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol by President Trump's Proud Boys, the White House-sponsored demonizing and incarceration of queers, and the recent murders of Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota.

Religious terrorists--be they Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, or Hindu--are not reasonable people; they are religious fanatics. And if history teaches us anything, it is that religious fanatics can't be reasoned with. They have to be jailed or killed. Something nobody apparently wants to admit. And when law enforcement gets involved on the side of Christian Patriots--as many did during the January 6 insurrection--we have enormous problems.
