发帖数: 29846 | 1 Army Training Manual Lists Catholics, Evangelicals and Jews as ‘Religious
Extremists’
by Jammie
Naturally, the odious hate group the Southern Poverty Law Center has a hand
in this.
A slideshow presentation shown to US Army Reserve recruits classifies
Christians, including both evangelicals and Roman Catholics, as religious
extremists, placing them in the same category as skinheads, the Ku Klux Klan
, Hamas and Al Qaeda.
The presentation also warned that members of the military are prohibited
from taking leadership roles in any organization the Pentagon considers ‘
extremist,’ and from distributing the organization’s literature, whether
on or off a military installation.
The opening slide warns that ‘the rise in hate crimes and extremism
outside the military may be an indication of internal issues all [armed]
services will have to face.’
Citing a Southern Poverty Law Center report as evidence that extremism
is on the rise, the Army Reserve presentation blames ‘the superheated fears
generated by economic dislocation, a proliferation of demonizing conspiracy
theories,the changing racial make-up of America and the prospect of 4 more
years under a black president who many on the far right view as an enemy to
their country.’
Later in the slideshow is a list of groups that exemplify ‘religious
extremism.’
Included are ‘evangelical Christianity,’ ‘Catholicism,’ ‘Ultra-
Orthodox’ Judaism, and ‘Islamophobia.’
Most of the list is populated by more widely accepted examples of
religious extremist groups, including Al Qaeda, Sunni Muslims, Hamas, and
the Ku Klux Klan.
So comforting to know Catholics are now lumped in with terror groups like
Hamas. The Army should be embarrassed by this. |
