(CNSNews.com) – Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D.-Texas) likened "Christian militants" to Islamic radicals in a hearing of the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday, suggesting they posed a comparable threat to the rule of law in the United States.

At the same hearing, a witness told the committee that the conversion of U.S. prison inmates to radical Islam is an “evolving threat” to national security.

Michael Downing, the head of counter-terrorism and special operations at the Los Angeles Police Department, was one of three witnesses who testified at the hearing on Muslim radicalization called by Rep. Peter King, a New York Republican.

“Christian militants”

You mean like Rev Martin Luther King, Rev Ralph Abernathy and the Rev Jesse Jackson?

Blacks And Opportunity

I believe that if I hear one more black politician hollering about how the United States is no damn good, and nobody in it is any damn good, and everyone discriminates against blacks, and denies them opportunity, and represses them, and doesn't do everything they want, and expects them to behave, I'm going to start bellowing."

Well, she expresses the liberal view of equivalence.

The liberal view is that there are terrorists of all religions. Many say that McVeigh was a Christian terrorist. And they say that ultra-religious Christians are the ones who bomb abortion clinics.

So, in their liberal minds, there are Islamic terrorists, and Christian terrorists, and terrorists of many religions. Because of this, we’re not allowed to focus on Islamic terror threats, because there are threats from all faiths.

And on a related note, we’re not supposed to say anything about “Islamic terror” in the first place. We are told that not all Muslims are terrorists, and that we can’t indict an entire religion for the actions of a few. We are supposed to condemn terrorist acts but not condemn the religion which motivates such acts.

So to be a good liberal, that is your world view.

I think it’s simpler than “equivalence”.

They hate biblical Christianity, so anything that is in opposition to it is inherently “good”. Therefore, Islam must be defended. All other religions must be elevated and protected while Christianity is denigrated.
