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.

Works for me.
NAME ONE!
An unfair false equivalence.
It is a way to minimize the evil atrocities under Islam by cruelly equating it with far rarer Christians who commit offenses ...
It is a vicious smear, equating Christians who don’t want to pay for your abortion with ISIS sex slaves and the Taliban poisoning school girls.
Both lies allow liberal bullies to target Christians as wanna-be Taliban and try to shut them down as threats to public safety while giving Muslim fundamentalists a pass.
Hitler wanted to destroy The Ten Commandments.
All socialists do.
I get so dagumed tired of these people, no biblical knowledge taking pot shots at a huge relationship between God and man where their hostility is so palpable you just know if you sat down with the guy he’d attack, attack, attack. Jesus never prayed for the world, just His friends. Maybe this guy will be humbled enough to ask Jesus love, grace and mercy to anoint him with His Holy Spirit.
No, Aryan Nordic pagans led by their atheistic Fuhrer killed six million Jews.
Hey dumb idiot faggot
What is the last time some Christian stapled bombs on to themselves and walkex into A market Place and blew them selves up?
This is the same damn question I asked every stupid liberal that said that Christianity is violent too When I bring up all the atrocities that Islamists commit every single freaking day!
I think this is going to be the election when we really stick it to these dumb mothertricjers
He reminds me of Conlin Powell. Powell comes out as a Republican, and then spends EVERY MOMENT of airtime he gets attacking Republicans. For example, Conlin would say that the Republican Party is a ‘a bit rough around the edges’ and shit like that. Annoys the crap out of me.
In this case, Butterfingers comes out as a ‘Christian’ and then bashes everything about Christianity. Sorry a-hole, no dice.
Nothing extremist about hoping all the dumpster pumpers disappear and die...
This guy has no chance of getting elected.
But he’s planting seeds that will bear their rotten fruit down the road.
Now we know why the folks at Notre Dame love this guy.
There is one thing, however, that they both agree on, concerning abominations.
What about the KKK of the South during post-Reconstruction? Weren’t they Christians?
should have not used ‘post’
But I found this
“The Ku Klux Klan extended into almost every southern state by 1870 and became a vehicle for white southern resistance to the Republican Party’s Reconstruction-era policies aimed at establishing political and economic equality for blacks. Its members waged an underground campaign of intimidation and violence directed at white and black Republican leaders.”
They kept their identity secret Under their white hoods, didn’t they attend church?
Coming from a Marxist and pervert, who is at war with all moral boundaries, and all who espouse them, and who would eliminate with prejudice any Christian who would take a stand for their beliefs and freedom.
I missed the beheading commandment in the Bible...../s
“kill, kill, kill” was Mohammad’s motto.
