Christian Terrorist supporters to celebrate the terrorist Paul Hill

Digby has warned us that the "Christian" groups who opposed abortion plan a four day long celebration of the terrorist Martyr Paul Hill in Milwaukee, WI in late July.

This from Talk to Action:

Our winners [of the Theocrat of the Week award] this week plan to reenact the the actions of theocratic martyr Paul Hill next month in Milwaukee. On July 29, 1994 Paul Hill, who sought to set a good example for Christian theocratic revolutionaries, assasinated abortion provider Dr. John Britton and James Barrett one of his escorts, and seriously wounding another, June Barrett, outside an abortion clinic in Pensacola, Florida.

George L. Wilson of Children Need Heroes and Drew Heiss of Street Preach are planning to honor Paul Hill in a series of events called "Paul Hill Days" in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, July 26th - 29th -- "to honor him as God's man and our hero."

Why Milwaukee? Why not? There are people here who recognize Paul Hill as a hero, and we would love to welcome others from around the country who share our belief. Hopefully, in the future, others will host events in their cities.
Planned events include:
Activities at our two remaining killing centers
Literature distribution
Ministry at the Federal Courthouse
Reenactment of 7-29-1994
Paul Hill March
Ministry at other public forums
It should be noted that George L. Wilson, the proprietor of Children Needs Heroes, recognizes two other heroes he believes America's children should learn about: Shelly Shannon, who was convicted of the attempted assassination of Dr. George Tiller of Wichita, Kansas, among other serious crimes, including a series of arsons; and of course, James Kopp, who was convicted in the sniper assassination of Dr. Barnett Slepian in Amherst, New York. Kopp is also the chief suspect in several other shootings.
All three are recognized as Heroes of the Faith by the Army of God, members of which are likely to be on hand for the festivities.

Paul Hill, Shelly Shannon, James Kopp and Eric Rudolph are all Christian terrorists. There is no difference between them and the Islamic terrorists who strap on suicide bombs to kill "unbelievers" in the Middle East to enforce Burkhas on their women.

All these terrorists have assumed the right to kill people they cannot convince to accept their beliefs, and they do it in the name of an unreasoning God that only they hear telling them to kill. All involve a few active terrorists supported by a much larger group of active supporters of terrorism, and the larger groups recruit and encourage other killers to do their bidding by calling them "heroes."

Those people represent Satan's Armies, not those of any God or of Allah. Those terrorists are Evil, and so are the people who wish to make heroes of them. Wilson and Hiess applaud those terrorists for killing umbelievers, and want to recruit more of them for more killing.

The unbelievers the the Christian terrorists want to kill in America are the majority of us who support a woman's right to choose what to do with her body. The Islamic terrorists consider the western attitude of allowing our women to let others see her face or her body. In both religions it is terrorists who demand that women be controlled by them. Since the terrorists represent minority extremist cults but demand that everyone obey them, they are frustrated beyong belief. So they send their evil terrorists out to kill unbelievers.

In both cases they consider the beliefs of the unbelievers to be a violation of what they interpret to be God's (or Allah's) Law, and they use this as justification to kill the unbelievers without warning or mercy. Then the congregation members of these dangerous cults present the terrorists as 'heroes' to get their own children to emulate them.

Make no mistake. These people are every bit the same as the terrorists like Muhammed Atta and his crew of 18, or for that matter like Timothy McVeigh.

But Hey! Maybe Terrorists are an oppressed minority too. Why shouldn't their supporters celebrate them and hold them up as heroes for their children to emulate? If that's the case, then think that "Children Need Heroes," "Street Preach" and "Army of God" are thinking too small. Four days in Milwaukee for just a single martyred terrorist? Just one miserable terrorist? Surely they can do better. They need to expand their horizons. They need to celebrate the terrorist actions of lots of terrorists. Like Timothy McVeigh and David Koresh, Mohammed Atta and his 18 helpers, Osama bin Laden, the London terrorists, the Madrid terrorists, and all the other worthy terrorists who have been so prominent in killing those God hates in recent years.

So I think that we in the blogosphere should help them. We need to thank all those fine businesses and churches in Milwaukee for their support of terrorism. And it should be on a non-sectarian basis. Any religious terrorist deserves to be honored during Paul Hill Christian Terrorist Days.

I am proposing that we here in the blogosphere all send letters, emails and FAXes to organizations there in Milwaukee and Madison, WI. thanking them for their support of Paul Hill Christian Terrorist Days.

The Catholic Diocese in Milwaukee would also like to hear from us, I am sure.

Hey, this is a great way for all those governments, religious organizations and businesses to be recognized for their support to the community of terrorists. Of course they will be happy to hear from us. So let's let them know we recognize their efforts.

Politely, of course.

Taunts from a "Christian" Terrorist

The Bush administration and American conservatives generally keep trying to make the point that the GWOT (Global War on Terror) against the so-called "Islamofascist Terrorists" is the new world war, on par with and more dangerous than the Cold War with the USSR and Soviet Communism.

Really?

How is Osama bin Laden any different from the Fundamentalist "Christian" organization called "the Army of God" which sends out terrorists to kill because the rest of America will not accept their demands that abortions be criminalized? Cliff Schecter points out how one of "the Army of God's" anointed terrorists taunts his victims from his federal prison cell. Several points need to be made to counter the propaganda and misinformation put out by the Bush administration, by the conservatives, and by the Republican political media led by FOX TV "news."

America is not involved in "World War IV." The "West" is not fighting a unified Islamic enemy. There is no "unified Terrorist enemy!" And terrorism is a tactic used by small groups who are trying to disrupt a state, but it is a tactic used by bandit forces rather than by armies.

Fighting bandits and pirates has been a constant problem for nations for centuries, but it is not war. When the early American government put down Shays Rebellion and the Whiskey Rebellion, they were not fighting against armies. They were using the military to dispatch rioters or their equivalent.

OK. Eric Rudolph set bombs to support the Army of God in its fight against abortion. He was a terrorist, but he was not a soldier. Of course, Rudolph was not as successful by the standards of body count as another American terrorist, Timothy McVeigh, either. Both were terrorists, however, and neither was Islamic. Neither were soldiers, and neither was involved in a real war. Mohammed Atta was a terrorist, and when evaluated by body count, he was a lot more successful than either Eric Rudolph or Timothy McVeigh. Atta was not a soldier either, however. He was just another terrorist - a violent bandit - who happened onto a tactic that was unusually successful in killing a large number of people.

There are terrorist organizations around the world. In fact there are quite a few. The U.S. State Department puts out a list of known terrorist organizations by country which can be reviewed here. There are also National Liberation organizations that use terrorist tactics. They range from Communist to right-wing organizations, and would include the liberation fighters in Nicaragua, which were supported by Ronald Reagan and Oliver North.

Wikipedia offers a much more comprehensive (but less reliable) "List of non-governmental organizations accused of using terrorism." The list of categories of such organizations is interesting.

The variety of types of organizations using the tactic of terrorism is rather surprising.

So why are the American right-wing propagandists (including the Bush administration and FOX "News") working so hard to emphasize the religious aspects of Middle East terrorism? I have to conclude that it is much easier to justify a preemptive war started by America on religious grounds than on political ones.

Armies are not very good at chasing down bandits. Ask Black Jack Pershing after he came back from his fruitless effort to chase down Pancho Villa in Mexico before WW I. But increased Intelligence and Special Operations efforts are covered by classification and don't get much Press, except when they fail. Successes remain classified. So how does a right-wing politician look tough without sending in another division? He doesn't.

Defining the battle against those who attacked America as Islamo-fascist terrorists allows the right-wingers to blame all Muslims. That fits their racial prejudices as well as making the problem into a religious one. It justifies turning America into an Armed Camp and making everyone afraid, so that those who fear can elect the right-wingers.

The fact is Eric Rudolph and the conservative right-wingers like Rudolph Gulianni are very similar. They need each other, and they react to social problems similarly. Pass a law against what they oppose and set up a police force to enforce that law without exceptions. Remove all limitations on how the people being investigates are treated, and don't worry too much if a few innocents get hurt in the process. Both Eric Rudolph and Rudolph Gulianni sell themselves as being tough on the "bad guys." The real difference is that Eric Rudolph was using violence to try to change the law, while Rudolph Gulianni would prefer to change the law first, then use it to justify violence.

Those of us on the outside of this system need to remember - just don't ask either Eric or Rudy who the "bad guys" are. You'll quickly find yourself on their list, just for questioning them. The "bad guys" are their enemies, not our enemies. Remember that and watch your back - and watch for abandoned packs in public places.
