A U.S. Army training instructor giving a training brief on "extremism" to an Army Reserve unit in Pennsylvania has labeled Evangelical Christianity and Roman Catholicism as examples of religious extremism right alongside Al Qaeda.
In addition to Al Qaeda, the instructor also equated Evangelical and Catholic "extremism" with that of Hamas, Sunni Muslims, the Nation of Islam, and the Ku Klux Klan.
When news of this leaked out, the Army was quick to say the instructor's position was not condoned by the U.S. military, and that the portions of the power-point slide show used to list Evan

My religion teaches me to be polite, caring, helpful, even humble, but it also teaches me that if anyone is to lay a hand on me, threaten me, stab or shoot me, even attempt kill me regardless of their affiliation, government or not to send them to the cemetary. But I guess thats called extremism though?edit on 8-4-2013 by DarknStormy because: (no reason given)

Well, if someone comes at you with a knife, are you going to sit there and ponder the subtle differences between god or allah before they thrust it into your neck, or are you going to shoot?
Eh?

All religions outside of Obama worship? lol
You sound pretty ignorant, to think that a) your little list covers 'all religions', and b) that any Obama worshipping is actually going on.
Evangelicals are like a cancer growing in the body of Christianity, imo.

really?...enough of the Obama-worship, messiah, anti-Christ-Obama...Christians sound bat-crap nutty when they say these phrases to represent the way the other side thinks of Obama...he's the president, and I have never heard anybody refer to him in any other terms, EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT!edit on 8-4-2013 by jimmyx because: (no reason given)

IMO the instructor should only be criticised for mentoining any religion in particular - IMO RC's are not particularly more inclined to violence than other x-ians.

I don't think I would go as far as to call Roman Catholics terrorists just yet, but I do call MOST of them the biggest hypocrites to walk this planet.
But on the other hand, any large group of people who do not possess the ability to think independently and on their own do lack the ability to question what they are told to do, therefore could possibly be terrorists one day.
Oh, and some of the most evil people this world has ever seen have been popes. Popes have been responsible for mass murder and genocides many times, its just taught nor spoken about.
