We Fight Back: Militant Muslims as Christ Killers

by Bill Levinson Whenever anyone sees the phrase “Christ Killers,” an ancient blood libel for demonizing Jews comes immediately to mind. Islamic supremacists use this theme openly; a color cartoon shows an IDF soldier about to bayonet Jesus in the arms of the Virgin Mary, who begs desperately, “Do not kill him TWICE.” However, our own Web page “Islamic Supremacists: The Twenty-First Century’s Christ Killers” has risen to the top 10 (i.e. first page) of Google search results for the phrase “Christ Killers.”

We have always preached an offensive (as opposed to defensive) public relations doctrine that states that enemy attacks should be met not with passive defense but rather with counterattacks, maneuver, and shock. Maneuver means finding something the enemy cannot defend (such as his treatment of women, religious minorities, gay people, and even the wrong “kinds” of Muslims) and shock means hitting that target with everything we have. Lieutenant (later General) George S. Patton Jr. described the offensive spirit perfectly when he discouraged cavalrymen from attempting to parry an enemy’s sword. The soldier should instead attack with the point (which would outreach the opponent’s cut) and rely on the fact that “the most effective parry is a disabled opponent.” In other words, if you kill or incapacitate the other bugger first, he and his weapon cease to be relevant and you don’t have to parry anything. The same principle must guide our public relations against militant “Islam.”

Don't bet on Killing Christians without a battle

[Semper Mark]

Who killed Christ, is an argument that has gone on for
centuries with most of the accusing fingers pointing at
the Jews.

Every Jew hater in the world has used the “Christ Killer”
epithet to somehow justify their demonic hatred towards the children of Israel. Those of us who have become true Christians have come to the realization that the Jew's didn't kill Christ, nor did the Roman's. But we killed Christ... better yet, I killed Christ. I was under my sin debt that he willingly died. When you come to this knowledge, there's no reason to point a finger at anyone else.

Indeed, we are all Christ-killers, as Charles Wesley so eloquently noted:

And can it be that I should gain
An interest in my savior's blood?
Died he for me who caused him pain,
For me, who him to death pursued.

Charles Wesley, 1739

Well said. We were in the crowd demanding his crucifixion.

But we do need to be more concerned than we are about the persecution of fellow Christians in Islamic nations.

It is an effort to divide Christians from Jews sadly. Playing the old divide and conquer nonsense.

The story of the “Prodigal Son”, as told by Jesus, told how a loving father, loves his wayward son anyway. Jesus forgives anyone who asks for forgiveness, even for killing him. So there is no reason to make any issue of this.
