Is "underwear bomber" Umar Abdulmutallab who tried to blow up Northwest

Is John Zawahri who killed five and injured another four at Santa Monica
College on June 7, 2013, a Christian?
The answers to the above questions are "No," "No," "No," and "No."
*Richard Reid, Nidal Hassan, Umar Abdulmuttallab, and John Zawahri are ALL
Muslims.*
Can you think of a terrorist incident since Obama became president which
was committed by a Christian, specifically an evangelical Christian, or by
a member of the Tea Party movement?
And yet, *soldiers attending a pre-deployment briefing at Fort Hood say
they were told that evangelical Christians and members of the Tea Party
were a threat to the nation and that any soldier donating to those groups
would be subjected to punishment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Todd
Starnes<http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2013/10/23/does-army-consider-christians-tea-party-terror-threat/>reports
for Fox News, Oct. 23, 2013:
A soldier who attended the *Oct. 17th* briefing told me the
counter-intelligence agent in charge of the meeting spent nearly a half
hour discussing how evangelical Christians and groups like the American
Family Association were “tearing the country apart.”
*Michael Berry, an attorney with the Liberty Institute*, is advising the
soldier and has launched an investigation into the incident.
“The American public should be outraged that the U.S. Army is teaching our
troops that evangelical Christians and Tea Party members are enemies of
America, and that they can be punished for supporting or participating in
those groups,” said Berry, a former Marine Corps JAG officer. “These
statements about evangelicals being domestic enemies are a serious charge.”
The soldier told me he fears reprisals and asked not to be identified. He
said there was a blanket statement that donating to any groups that were
considered a threat to the military and government was punishable under
military regulations.
“My first concern was if I was going to be in trouble going to church,” the
evangelical Christian soldier told me. “Can I tithe? Can I donate to
Christian charities? What if I donate to a politician who is a part of the
Tea Party movement?”
Another soldier who attended the briefing alerted the Chaplain Alliance for
Religious Liberty. That individual’s recollections of the briefing matched
the soldier who reached out to me. “I was very shocked and couldn’t believe
what I was hearing,” the soldier said. “I felt like my religious liberties,
that I risk my life and sacrifice time away from family to fight for, were
being taken away.”
And while a large portion of the briefing dealt with the threat
evangelicals and the Tea Party pose to the nation, *barely a word was said
about Islamic extremism*, the soldier said.
“Our community is still healing from the act of terrorism brought on by
Nidal Hasan – who really is a terrorist,” the soldier said. “This is a slap
in the face. “*The military is supposed to defend freedom and to classify
the vast majority of the military that claim to be Christian as terrorists
is sick*.”
*Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, tells me the
Pentagon is pushing anti-Christian propaganda.*
“On the very base that was the site of mass murder carried out by a
radicalized Muslim soldier, it is astonishing that it is evangelical groups
that are being identified as a ‘threat,’” he said. “Defense Secretary Chuck
Hagel must immediately intervene to stop this march against the rights and
freedom of our soldiers.”
*The soldier said they were also told that the pro-life movement is another
example of “radicalization.”*
“They said that evangelical Christians protesting abortions are the
mobilization stage and that leads to the bombing of abortion clinics,” he
said, recalling the discussion.
An Army spokesman at the Pentagon tells me they do not maintain or publish
a list of organizations considered extremist.
“None of these slides [shown at the briefing] were produced by the Army,
but by soldiers who included information found during an Internet search,”
the spokesman said.
He said commanders and other leaders were cautioned that they should not
use “lists of extremists, hate groups, radical factions or the like
compiled by any outside non-governmental groups or organizations for
briefings, command presentations, or as a short cut to determining if a
group or activity is considered to be extremist.”
Meanwhile, *the public affairs office at Fort Hood is denying the soldiers'
allegations.*
“The allegations you are asking about were brought to the attention of the
Fort Hood leadership immediately and a (sic) inquiry is occurring,” read a
statement from *Tom Rheinlander, the public affairs director at Fort Hood*.
“At this time, initial information gathered about the training and what you
claim occurred is not substantiated by unit leadership and soldiers present
at this training venue.”
I sent the public affairs officer additional questions about the specific
content of the briefing but he declined to respond.
*But this is not the first time an Army briefing has labeled evangelicals
as extremists. Last April an Army Reserve briefing classified Evangelical
Christianity and Catholicism as “religious extremism.”*
In a letter to Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.),* Secretary of the Army John
McHugh *said the briefing in April was an isolated incident and the
material used was not sanctioned by the Army. McHugh said it was a
“misguided attempt to explain that extremism is not limited to a single
religion.”
Two weeks ago, several dozen* active duty troops at Camp Shelby in
Mississippi, were told the American Family Association, a well-respected
Christian ministry, should be classified as a domestic hate group because
it advocates for traditional family values.*
Again, the military called it an isolated incident with a trainer using
material that was not sanctioned by the military.
That explanation is wearing thin with American Christians.
“How much longer can the Army claim no knowledge or responsibility for
these things?” Berry asked.
“These repeated incidents show either that this training was directed from
Army leadership at the Pentagon, or else the Army has a real discipline and
leadership problem on its hands because a bunch of rogue soldiers are
teaching this nonsense.”
The most recent allegations at Fort Hood have drawn sharp rebuke from
religious liberty groups around the nation.
“Why is the Army engaged in these anti-Christian training propaganda
briefings?” asked Perkins, himself a veteran of the Marine Corps. “The only
explanation is that this is a deliberate effort of the Obama administration
to intimidate and separate soldiers from Christian groups that they support
and that support them.”
*Ron Crews, executive director of the Chaplain Alliance, called the
military’s behavior dishonorable.* “Far from mere ‘isolated incidents,’ as
the Army has dismissed previous occurrences,* this latest incident
demonstrates a pattern and practice of Army briefings identifying
mainstream religions, such as Evangelical Christianity, Judaism, and
Catholicism, as examples of ‘religious extremism’ similar to Al Qaeda,
Hamas and the Ku Klux Klan*,” he told me.
Perkins said it’s time for the Pentagon to “ensure that instructors carry
out their role to train our troops to defend our freedom, and not push
anti-Christian propaganda.”
†
There can be no more doubt that Obama is an anti-Christ who is waging a war
on Christians.
