Christian Terrorism Close to Home

Most people have probably heard by now about the murder of Dr. Tiller, the Wichita, KS, abortion doctor. The Christian terrorist suspect was captured in Merriam, a Kansas City suburb and not all that far from where I live.

Last time they killed a doctor, the fundamentalist organizations who put up doctors' addresses on line and riled up their membership into fits of hatred denied any involvement. We condemn violence, they said. Yeah, right, and I've got some nice oceanfront property just outside Wichita to sell you.

This time they've done exactly the same thing again. As expected.

President Obama rightfully condemned this latest hate crime. And that, naturally, will give the Limbaugh Republicans and Fox "News" more ammunition to use to rile up their followers into even more hatred against Democrats and the Constitution as written. I'm sure those same hate-mongering, fact-distorting organizations will also find absolutely no connection between this murder and the fundamentalist Christian groups who promote hatred and violence behind carefully crafted weaselwording.

The only difference I see between Christian terrorists and Islamic terrorists is that at least the Islamic ones admit what they do. That makes them equally evil, but less cowardly.

Why is it that all the patriarchal religious fundamentalists are so concerned with controlling women's bodies?
