We call any killer from an Islamic country an 'Islamic' terrorist, but we never call our home grown killers 'Christian' terrorists? Why not?

Maybe because the Christian Bible doesn't say "Kill the Infidels".

BTW, I am not in the slightest bit religious, basically an atheist, but I view most religions as rather benign and harmless. An exception being Islam, which in its literal fundamental form is a violent, aggressive, intolerant, stone age theology..

Good point. I also think the "life is sacred" crowd is okay with killing Muslims because their skin is darker. Give them a dark-skinned person to murder in fake wars and they get all patriotic on us. They fly their flags because they're proud to kill people for no reason.

But it's worse than that. How many of their churches called them out on their war crimes, unjust wars, and other atrocities? Not many. They had bigger fish to fry such as opposing gay marriage since it was surely a bigger threat than the terrorists their wars were creating.

Bentway,

When was the last time a home grown Christian killer yelled "God is great" while carrying out mass murder?

“Why not?” I’m guessing because it has never happened.

Christians get thrown to the lions and turn the other cheek, mass-murder in the name of Christ isn’t possible because Jesus never advocated that.

Your friends on the hand advocate terrorism as a lifestyle choice.

I hope this helped you out, Bentley.
