State Dept. Spokeswoman: 'Christian Militant Group' Among 'Extremist Threats We Face'
CNS News ^ | Feb 18 2015 | Susan Jones

Posted on 02/18/2015 8:02:17 PM PST by Whenifhow

People talk a lot about Islamic extremism and ISIS/ISIL (the guys who behead Christians, among others), but what about Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army?

"I don't remember people talking about that as much anymore, but that's a Christian militant group," State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Wednesday.

She was making the point that terrorism "is not just a threat in one place" -- and it's not just Islamic:

"If you look at the Lord's Resistance Army and Kony, Joseph Kony -- I don't remember people talking about that as much anymore, but that's a Christian militant group. So there are a lot of different extremists threats we face, and there are different tools we have to go after each one of them."

According to an Associated Press report last November, "Kony's LRA comprises a few hundred fighters who are being hunted down by African Union troops as well as U.S. advisers." Kony is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity in a "reign of terror" that has spanned more than two decades in Central Africa.

The hippy-dippy next door has a KONY bumpersticker still. It was a lefty fad for a while.

What was The Lord’s Resistance Army resisting?

Finally. An administration that takes the Lutheran peril seriously.

Maybe it’s a disease. Nonetheless, I’m sure she was hand-picked.

The problem is ... that 90% or more of the terrorism in the world is Islamic Terrorism.

If someone is interested in addressing “Terrorism” ... look at the 90% and not the less than 10%!

This Administration is the most dangerous administration I have ever seen..I wasn’t born for the Carter era but even then I don’t think things were as bad as they are now..we are dealing with an Administration who despises, yes DESPISES Christians and Jews..they want to see both religions destroyed and replaced with Islam..I would call this woman a dumb b*tch but that would be an insult to dumb people everywhere

Amazing how hussein obama won’t use islam and extremist together but they will do so with Christians.

The truth is that you couldn’t bring 21 Christians together that would behead 21 muslims just because they’re muslim. That’s all anyone has to know to understand the differences. Islam is pure evil.

From I read, the LRA seems to follow some sort of syncretic faith, but I suppose that would blunt her narrative.

I guess they are pretty close to announcing the New Socialist Caliphate of the Western Hemisphere.
