Video: ACLU Member Says Christians Just As Extreme As ISIS
Newsbusters ^ | October 1, 2014 | Kristine Marsh

How does the left-wing ACLU weigh in on ISIS? Fox News’ Jesse Watters wanted to find out so he went to an ACLU conference in Princeton, N.J. and found out on Sept. 29’s O’Reilly Factor.

Watters began by questioning members about the “war on terror.” After several members told Watters they couldn’t support it, he wanted to know how America should treat ISIS instead. “These ISIS members that are beheading Americans, what would you do with them?”

One woman responded simply, “Nothing.” An ACLU representative also declared that the group “had no position on the conflict.” Watters declared incredulously, “You are fighting the war on Christmas harder than you are fighting the war on terror!”

But this is the aggressive ACLU we are talking about, so it’s not as if they had no position whatsoever. Waters later questions revealed their true opinion on how ISIS should be treated.

Watters asked an ACLU member, Univ. of Chicago Law Professor Geoffrey Stone, “Would you give these ISIS butchers, civilian trials and give them lawyers?”

The law professor responded, “I would give them lawyers.” He continued, “It’s about making sure they [actually] are ISIS barbarians.”

Which is a ridiculous assertion to even make, since ISIS terrorists proudly reveal their agendas on social media, home videos and by brazenly killing Americans in broad daylight.

Another woman declared ISIS members “prisoners of war” who could not be tried in court, but must be held in captivity until the war is over. Watters naturally responded, “Would you release them when the war was over?” “Yes,” she responded, nodding her head. “Isn’t that a little dangerous?” Watters asked incredulously, to which the woman responded with dumbstruck silence.

So not only do ACLU members think ISIS members deserve better treatment than civilian criminals, but their not the real enemy Americans should be worrying about.

Watters asked another woman, “Do you think that America deserves being attacked by terrorists?”

“How else are they going to get our attention?” the ACLU member whose name was blurred, responded.

Watters played along, “Do you think if we listen more to ISIS, then maybe some of the terrorism wouldn't be happening?”

The unnamed woman responded,“They’ve got their own very extreme agenda. But we have people in this country, who have their own very extreme agendas, very fundamentalist Christians.”

Watters responded, “I don’t know if that’s a valid comparison.” To which she stated, “Well, the people who were killed, are just as dead!”

Ironically, the same women interviewed said there should be “no restrictions” on abortion. Interesting how Christians are considered dangerous killers, in the mind of some ACLU members, but abortionists and terrorists should be treated with respect and lenience. - See more at: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/kristine-marsh/2014/10/01/video-aclu-member-says-christian-extremists-just-extreme-isis?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=marketing&utm_term=facebook&utm_content=facebook&utm_campaign=aclu-isis-christians#sthash.lOUC5uKC.dpuf

The ACLU is a terrorist enabling organization just as extreme as ISIS.

This is a really poor argument. The prof did not say ISIS members may not be barbarians, he said individuals accused of being members are deserving of due process to determine if that charge is accurate.

He is, of course, entirely correct.

Liberal mouthpiece Rosie O’Donnell has declared that “radical Christianity” is an much a threat to us as “radical Islam”.

It’s a common feeling among radical liberal types, that fundamentalist Christians are a threat. They point to cases such as Hobby Lobby on birth control, to show the supposed strong influence of radical Christians in our country.

Of course, we could debate that there are differences between talking about who pays for abortifacients or birth control, in the Hobby Lobby case, and fears of getting killed by ISIS types. But in the liberal mind, there is apparently no difference to be discussed.

This is so....though that does not usually mean to give them the full benefits and disclosures of the civilian legal system.

The ACLU woman also doesn’t seem to understand the difference between PoWs and War Criminals.

I like how, when you ask one of these knuckle-draggers for EXAMPLES of “Christian violence/horrors...”, they cite the Crusades.

That’s the best they can come up with - 1000 YEARS ago... (and even then they get the story wrong)

There’s no fixing stupid. Too many Americans CHOOSE stupid.

They hate God but can do little more than shout and shake their fists at Him,

but His people, that’s another matter - they can get at them directly.

They won’t even understand when they are marched to the gallows. Someday soon, a reckoning will come. Societies never survive with delusional minds in charge. It’s a fact, and has been going on throughout human history. There will be a purge. People like those that make up the ACLU will not survive, or change, or get it.

These people will pay, I am sure of it. Our country and the world are headed for a tipping point. It will not be pretty. But the weak minded delusional freaks will be weeded out of the gene pool. Guaranteed.

Who exactly are these "people killed at the hands of fundamentalist Christians?"

I must have missed the news stories of those beheadings and such
