Christian Hate Crime in Illinois: School Attacked for 'Homophobic' Guest
The Christian Post ^ | Mon, Oct. 17 2011 | Brittany Smith

Christian school in Illinois reported its glass entry door being smashed by bricks with hateful messages on them early Saturday morning.

The vandalism, recorded by Christian Liberty Academy’s security cameras, came on the eve of a banquet being hosted by the academy, a school run by the Church of Christian Liberty in Arlington Heights. The event, planned by Americans for Truth About Homosexuality (AFTAH), was designed to discuss the homosexual activist agenda, and to honor pro-family activist and author of The Pink Swastika, Dr. Scott Lively.

AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera, Church of Christian Liberty Pastor Calvin Lindstrom and the Chicago Independent Media Center received an email from the perpetrators of the attack a few hours after the incident. The email reads, “If this event is not shut down, and the homophobic day trainings do not end, the Christian Liberty Academy will continue to be under constant attack."

LaBarbera said Monday to The Christian Post he has never seen such a statement issued and its “unprecedented in this area where there have been attacks before.” He said the perpetrators have “ratcheted it up from the usual harassment that Christians usually get.”

The bricks thrown at the school’s entry door had hateful messages written on them, such as “Shut down Lively” and “Quit the homophobic s---!” Other notes threatened both the school and the church with more violence if they continued to host "homophobic" guests.

Despite the vandalism, organizers of the banquet held the event later that evening without any further serious disturbances. Lindstrom, however, noted “there were protestors,” about 30, outside repeating slanderous things against Dr. Lively during the banquet. Members Chicago-based Gay Liberation Network, or GLN, was also among the group. Lindstrom said the protestors claim they had nothing to do with the attack.

Police are investigating the incident and Lindstrom updated CP on Monday that the church has “not heard from the police at this point, [but] Dr. Lively believes this should be pursued as a hate crime.” The senior pastor said he’s not in favor of the “hate crime mentality,” but rather is waiting to see how things play out with the police.

LaBarbera noted there have always been protestors when the church held AFTAH events, but they have “really demonized Scott Lively. It looks like they are creating a climate of hate against Christians.”

The AFTAH president agreed with Lindstrom saying he wasn’t a fan of hate crimes, but “this would qualify. I hope it’s not just dismissed as vandals.” He said the church and organizers of the event are asking to get the same treatment if it were the other way around, with an attack on a homosexual event.

In the past, the Christian Liberty Academy hosted several events for Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, including last year’s Truth Academy, which drew protests from the GLN.

Well, if homos go around throwing bricks thru windows with threats attached, I’d say ‘homophobia’ has a sound basis..........

YES, DO NOT SPEAK AGAINST THE SACRED CASTE TO WHICH WE MUST ALL DO HOMAGE, THE GAYS! They are above all criticism or questioning of their lifestyle. Meanwhile, they and their secularist allies are allowed to trash religious people, and now their property, with impunity.

Never thought I’d see the day when a sexual fetish got special treatment from the government. They really do think they are superior to the rest of us normal folk.

Don’t fall for it. This has little to do with “gay rights”.

The homos are simply a handy tool for criminalizing Christian beliefs.

The Pink Swastika is the most feared book out there. The homosexual mafia has been trying to silence Lively for years. You know that there is truth in this book because of their vile hatred and inability to prove anything he says is wrong. He quotes the vile statements of homosexuals—the serial killers who are homosexuals, the Brownshirts who were homosexuals, etc.

A well-researched book that documents homosexual movements and the dysfunction and brutal aspects of a “lifestyle” that demeans constantly the design of the body and the neurosis that will occur in treating the human being as an object for one’s selfish lust. Homosexuality is learned and occurs with the emotional and spiritual destruction of young children, usually through abuse.

To support homosexual curricula (day of silence,etc.) is to support child abuse.

There is no such thing as homophobia. A phobia is an irrational fear. No one is afraid of these perverts. We are simply disgusted by them.

True, but they typically go to the effort of beadazzling the bricks before they throw them. They don't do hate crime unless its also fabulous.

So there's that.

Speaking of Christians, has anyone heard anything about the Hutaree militia trial? Remember them? The Holder DOJ wanted to flash some pics of white Christian ‘terrorists’ at the same time the media was smearing the Tea party as a dangerous, racist mob. Coincedence of course. What’s the latest on that bs case?

One could write another book called The Pink Fasces in the same vein. It’s pretty well known now that Nazis were big hypocrites about homosexuality, indulging it in the high ranks while sending the common people to death camps for it. These geese would push it one step further, forcing all to indulge (if not literally, then by granting it special governmental privileges and banning criticism).

No: They don’t. They know they are sick, that’s why they are mad all the time and trying to make their sickness look normal.

While they seek acceptance, people laugh at them behind their back.Especially the flamers and the Mutilated ones, who call themselves transgenders.Actually you almost have to feel sorry for someone so sick they would destroy their natural genitals and replace them with Home made genitals that only give the appearance of a proper genitalia.

Placing a Vagina on a man’s body does not make him a woman,where are the ovaries, the fallopian tubes,placing a home made penis on a woman does not make sperm.These people have not changed their gender, they have only changed their appearance, and usually not for the better.

Disgust is not fear (phobia) and behavior is not race.

Looks like the Federal cases against the Hutaree are flimsy, at best. Here’s one of them where the Federal prosecutor has dismissed the charges...

I feel sorry for them. By choosing to be homosexual they chop thirty years off their life span.
