[QUOTE="ThatRobGuy, post: 69024258, member: 123415"] Not at all... It's simply pointing degrees and levels of terrorism. Typically what happens in conversations is this. Someone from the right wing will bring up Islamic terrorism, and as a rebuttal, someone from the left wing will bring up groups like the Army of God. Now, if the point of bringing it up is to say that "Christianity has the potential to produce terrorism too", then it's a completely valid rebuttal. However, if the point is to try to make the claim that "Christian terrorism is just as big of a problem in the world today as Islamic terrorism", then it's an illogical rebuttal. While it's a fact that the Army of God is a terrorist organization that has spilled blood and blown stuff up in the name of their cause, nobody is fleeing the US to get away from them, so clearly they're not sparking the same kind of fear in people as ISIS is. If you're willing to uproot your family and move to another country out of fear...that means you're pretty darn afraid. Thus far, anti-abortion extremists haven't sparked that kind of fear in people. Now, if 20,000 of them started roaming the country and creating mass havoc, then they'd be right in the same category as ISIS. [/QUOTE]
