The anti-Muslim militias in the Central African Republic may not get the same attention as ISIS, but let’s not forget that people are still doing awful things in the name of Christianity.
“There are still nine Christians here. We will capture them. We will kill them. When we finish here, we will go to the next village and kill the Christians there, too.”If an ISIS leader made a statement like this publicly, Fox News would probably cut into their programming bring you a special report about the Muslims’ “religious war” against Christians. Mainstream media outlets would most likely cover it as well.But that statement was indeed uttered in 2014. Except there was one simple word difference: “Christian” was replaced with “Muslim.” That is exactly what a Christian terrorist said about his militia’s plan to exterminate the remaining nine Muslims in a village in Central Africa Republic (CAR). But, of course, stuff like that doesn’t really make news here in our country.Or did you hear about the Christian militant who publicly beheaded a Muslim man in the streets of the CAR capital last year? That was actually covered by the U.S. media—in a short Associated Press paragraph buried in papers like the New York Times. Anyone doubt that if a Muslim terrorist beheaded a Christian man in the public square it would’ve made the U.S. news?Any cable news channels cover in depth the Christian marauders in CAR that are–as we speak–ethnically cleansing tens of thousnads of the minority Muslim population there? These Christian militants “stage brutal attacks…wielding machetes” and have “burned and looted…houses and mosques.” True, this is part of a civil war, but these violent acts are still carried out by militants who publicly self-identify as Christian fighters.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of Christians committing acts of terrorism.
But, of course, when President Obama dared to mention at the National Prayer Breakfast last week that we have seen acts of violence perpetrated by Christians, including during the Crusades, some on the right went on the warpath. Rush Limbaugh called Obama’s words an “insult” to Christianity.

Christians as well Muslims do not know that religion /spirituality is . They established Church /Jamat and enrol member ship and they are forced to follow certain beliefs and practices.As a result tney become prisioners of certain beliefs. The Universe is so diverse geographically socially which defy definition. It is Hinduism which focusses on mind set only not on outward customs and practices,though thousands of customs and practices are in vogue in Hinduism.Church and Jamat claims monopoly of God and hate others. The Hindu alone proclaims that Salvation is possible both to Chrsitians and Muslims by pious deeds.Their membership to any church or Jamat is nothing to do with salvation or spirituality.Christian church and Muslim Jamat should abandon such nonsense belief and recognise other ways of salvation .The proclamation of Swami Vivekananda “Every religion has produced men and women of most exalted characters ” is the guiding light and wisdom to Christians and Muslims.Increasing the membership and trying to dominate socially,politically and economically is no religion.It is imperialism and Political domination.

The Afflictions within!
Many of the adherents of the Three Abrahamic Faiths prefer to adhere to their usurpations of The Torah, The Bible and The Qur’an to creating afflictions within their milieu, and beyond. The Corporate Media being in control of The Masses is in place to pursuing the continual and ugly commotions on our splendid abode. But, THE CREATOR – The Most Powerful, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful – knows best.
The psychosis of The Political Zionists, the Neo-Conservatives of Washington/Pentagon, The Wahhabists with their wide spread tentacles, and the Corporate Media will eventually come out of their slumber. THE TRUTH will prevail; THE TRUTH always triumphs.
Denial, Ignorance, Lies, Psychosis will simply be defeated by FACTS, KNOWLEDGE, HONESTIES and SANITY, because, when THE CREATOR decrees “Be, It is.”
Peace, La Paix, Shalom and Salaam.

I find it highly ironic that the photo used is not one of a ‘Christian terrorist’, rather that of a Ukrainian soldier used in the article, “The Myth of Religious Violence” (once posted on the MT)
http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/sep/25/-sp-karen-armstrong-religious-violence-myth-secular
It is highly disingenuous to use that photo inferring that it is representative of something that it is not.
