DoD Lumps Catholics [and Evangelicals] with Al Qaeda and KKK as Examples of "Religious Extremism."

Wow. This is not good. The Department of Defense in a training brief for military reservists reportedly lists "Catholicism" alongside other examples of "religious extremism" such as Al Qaeda and Hamas.

That's right, your taxpayer money is going towards training reservists to view Catholics as dangerous as terror groups intent on America's destruction

The Archdiocese for the Military Services (AMS) issued a statement on this scandal which states, in part:

The Archdiocese for the Military Services and Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty recently became aware of a U.S. Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief that expressly listed “Catholicism,” “Evangelical Christianity” and other religious groups as examples of “religious extremism” alongside groups such as “Al Qaeda”, “Hamas” and the “KKK.”

The Archdiocese is astounded that Catholics were listed alongside groups that are, by their very mission and nature, violent and extremist.

Wonder if the DoD will find out how much power the Pope has?.

The DoD is blacklisting Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindus and Mormons. Since I didn’t see any communist, atheist or black groups, I guess they are now running things (at least until they piss off the former five groups enough to fight back and the latter three groups will cease to exist here).

This is the beginning of the end. Catholics being accused of extremism. It’s nonsense, but it will continue and get worse. Just watch!

How quaint. Paranoia like this is malevolent (obviously). this regime KNOWS how evil it is, otherwise it wouldn’t have to keep trying to put out IMAGINARY brushfires. If we ever get out of this mess, it will be a miracle. Talk about shooting ourselves in the feet with a double twelve...
