Mayor Pete Buttigieg claimed Friday that Christianity had its own extremist factions of faith similar to that of radical Islam in the Middle East.
Asked about the differences between Shia extremism followed in Iran versus Sunni extremism, the 2020 presidential candidate immediately compared radical Islam to Christianity.
“Well, you know, not unlike Christianity when it is motivating someone to do something extreme. It can have a thousand different flavors,” he said. “The real question is what’s going on with the regime, the government, that’s given the power and the apparatus of the state and intelligence service and a military, and what do they do with their ideology?

The South Bend mayor also compared the radical Iran regime to President Donald Trump’s administration, insofar as whether they were representative of the entire population.
“You know, Iran, the Iranian regime does not speak for all of the Iranian people as a unit any more than, you know, you could say that there are no moderate politicians in the U.S., and we’re all secretly enthusiastic Trump supporters,” he said. “It just doesn’t work that way.”
Buttigieg lamented that the moderate Iran factions that wanted to work with the West and the United States were burned by Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.
“Imagine if you’re an Iranian politician who put all your eggs in the basket of saying let’s make a deal with the Americans. … now you’re going to have a lot of egg on your face,” he said.

That’s way, way too much information. (Gag)
What a stupid thing to say for someone who is running for President. He just alienated millions.
These people are so predictable.
If they were not so full of hate and did not want to destroy normal people, it would be pathetically amusing. It’s not.
They are ugly, dangerous, and they will be responsible for innocent blood in the streets - something for which they are openly calling.
Somehow, according to Pete Buttplug, “extremist” Christianity is that Christianity that does not affirm cramming things up your backside. I know it’s difficult for decent folk to really consider what homosexuality is, but that difficulty doesn’t make it otherwise. It’s disease: viruses, other infections, substance addiction, physical abuse, physical problems that would make a ER doc gag. That’s the reality. Have a few beers with an ER doctor. The conversation will inevitably turn to the variety of things they have pull out of the backsides of queers on a regular basis. Yes, it’s all of them. It is the very definition of degeneracy, no matter how FABULOUS Mayor Buttplug’s “husband” is supposed to be. Just no. We don’t need a second queer President.
LOL
> Mayor Pete Buttigieg claimed Friday that Christianity had its own extremist factions <
Buttigieg is right. But what he conveniently ignores are the percentages. If you define an extremist as someone who wishes harm upon “unbelievers”, what percentage of Christians are extremists? I’d say less than 1/10 of one percent.
Now, what percentage of Muslims are extremists? I’d say 70%, at least.
Trying with all my might to think of the murderous Christian extremist groups.... can’t...
I’m a Christian and I don’t hate Pete.
I hate his hate for America as founded.
Pete, your lifestyle is of no concern to me.
Using America as a vessel for your lifestyle, stifling free speech and ignoring what made America great is what I can’t accept.
You and your partner are welcome in my home if you were patriots willing to sacrifice everything for the Republic.
This is all about freedom and liberty douche.
Not that hard to figure out...
How about we ship butt gig to a moderate muslim country and see how that goes for his butt gig.
That commandment was on the third tablet; you know, the one Mel Brooks dropped in the movie.
Kinda like the radical homosexual activists that attack people Buttgood?
I am already sick of this uneducated twit who has skated along in life purely on his white privilege and thinks himself smart because he can recite facebook troll posts.
This is like when they could see the blood from space and Obama was talking about The Crusades. Which were 1000+ years ago.
oh hell yeah it does, “Christians” that like to beat their children to a pulp, “Christians” that demand female submission, “Christians” that refuse to support their families because God will provide, “Christians” that hate Jews, “Christians” that hate gays, yeah, real nice folks.
Yup. Like most of the ridiculous Democrat rabble “running for President,” he’s just running to scam big bucks from deluded donors.
I can’t tell you whom I would appreciate most in the White House. It’s just such a difficult decision.
I guess it’s either AOC telling us she can’t save us but we have to adopt the Green New Deal or we’ll all be dead in 12 years....or maybe it’s Lizzie Warren telling us we didn’t build that....Buttegieg preaching to us with the anal sex in the Lincoln Bedroom, or maybe it’s Bernie and the felons voting. Or maybe Kamala Harris promising to restrict our rights via executive order, or it could be Beto with the combination haircut/colonoscopy. Tough choices.
#mostdifficultchoiceever
Pete, I don’t believe Christians ever flew a plane into a building, beheaded other religions or throw gays off rooftops...
Ya know, there are some things I’d just rather not know.
Yeah, whole groups of them organizing into terrorist organizations. I see that all the time. I don’t recall the names of them however.
