A German protestant theologian said that ‘radical’ bible groups are a bigger radicalisation threat to adolescents than Islamists, and downplayed the number of minors who have converted and left Germany to fight for Islamic State. Harald Lamprecht, Christian theologian and sect commissioner for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Saxony, in an interview with Der Morgenpost claims that “radical bible groups” are more of a risk to the youths of Saxony than Islamism.
During the interview, in which the theologian was asked to advise parents of how to look out for signs of Islamic radicalisation, he told parents “not to panic” and advised them, rather, to be more prepared to keep watch for warning signs of Christian radicalisation:
“As for the threat of Saxon youths, be prepared for radical Bible groups. They are a much bigger problem than Islamists.”

So Herr Lamprecht, how many of those kids went on a killing rampage compared to islam???
People are always most worried about their closest competitors. Do the Democrats worry about Islam? No, they worry about those evil Republicans!
Protestant? Methinks he doth protest too much.
Pretty weird. However, I think it’s more likely that teenagers or young adults of German ethnicity would join a different subgroup of Christianity than turn to Islam. Although we keep reading about “English,” “French,” and “German” people joining ISIS or committing terrorist acts, they are almost always Moslem immigrants or children of Moslem immigrants, not representatives of the original host population.
A radical Christian is like Mother Theresa
A radical Islamist is like Omar Mateen/Osama bin Laden/Nidal Malik Hasan
Yeah, Christians are SO dangerous......./s
Islam Youth. Nothing to see here, move along.
“When they came for me, there was no one left to say or do anything.”
Look in the mirror Herr Lamprecht......you, with your blinders on is as big a threat as ISIS for allowing it.....you along with Angela Merkel.....the self deceiving Frau Chancellor
It is my sincere wish that Herr Lamprecht would die a painful and public death at the hands of a masked gunman yelling Allu Ahkbar!
And that a nearby camera man would capture and publish his final “oh shit! What an idiot I was!” expression for all the world to see.
The Cult of “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you” , which instructs us to deal with evil people by following the philosophy of , “But I say unto you, That you resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.” , is a dangerous group of radical subversives.
I would love to beat people like this with a bat.
Took the words out of my mouth. If youth are attracted to Christianity, how likely are they to mount a massacre?
We know sadly that youth attracted to Islam will have a stronger tendency to mount a massacre than Christians.
Of course we know Obama told us to get off our high horse_, look what happened in the crusades and all that....
I never understood how violence done by Christians almost a thousand years ago, somehow creates equivalence with Muslim violence happening every day nowadays.
There is a following of “evangelists” who seem mostly intent in trying to get people to squirm so they can pat themselves on the back about how right they are. The actual Christ matched His rhetoric to His audiences — Pharisees got grilled in a way that proved unnecessary for many of the “low lives” of His day.
But still. This is only talk. We should wish Muslims only threatened us that we would all go to hell if we did not believe Mohammed. Instead they shoot us and bomb us and behead us.
My Aussie GF mate was hammered by some whacked out libs when she posted that very same argument when 0bozo brought it up during a Christian Prayer Breakfast at the WH.
The most infamous cases of “Christian supremacy” did not seem to be known for any kind of gospel. It was a form of “God hates you and loves us for telling you so.” Not too far from what we know as Westburros today, except they’d do things like burn crosses, not just wave signs.
After all, it is the religion of peace for a reason (sarc).
I was listening to the Munich police chief yesterday talk about the shooter.
He was twisting himself in knots trying to nail down whether he was an Iranian German or a German Iranian.
Especially since the Crusades were a much-needed RESPONSE to Islamic aggression and barbarism.
Much Christian war was reactive, to militant forces like just the Islam that is now complaining about it.
Come with a Frito-Lay factory of chips on your shoulder, don’t cry to us about how it got knocked off.
