Weaponizing Compassion in Dallas

In September, the local Dallas-Fort Worth chapter of a global movement for compassion, Charter for Compassion Initiative, will be holding its annual conference. Presentations will range from making baby hats for premature infants and “Contemplative Painting” to more serious topics such as human trafficking and a presentation on “restorative justice” taught by a Richardson, Texas police sergeant.

The group, Compassionate DFW, is the local chapter of Charter for Compassion. The theme of the conference is “Compassion in Action: Applications in Today’s Times.” A flyer for the conference reads, “Download, Install and Run the Right Apps in Your Life.”

The Charter for Compassion’s unique “applications” for life might have something to do with its founder Karen Armstrong, a former nun who once identified herself as “a freelance monotheist.” She also has said in interviews that “Accepting doctrine is not important.” Her initiative is designed, she says, to create a “global spirituality.”

Some have called Armstrong an Islamist apologist. And the global Charter for Compassion has a number of ties to known Islamists with troubling records, including Tariq Ramadan, a Swiss professor with Muslim Brotherhood ties currently on trial for rape and sexual assault.

Compassionate DFW, like its parent organization, likewise has some concerning relationships.

Any globalist-movement is a bad thing. And “Charter for Compassion Initiative” sound like a Soros front group just on its face.

That’s way too creepy.

This is part of the takeover of Texas by the commies. They are leaving San Fransisco, NYC, and LA and contaminating Texas. They have destroyed their homes and it’s now infecting other places. Many of them aren’t smart enough to realize they are their own problem. All California would have to do is vote Republican for awhile and watch the change, but they can’t bring themselves to do it. So, they bring their money and idea’s to Texas to spoil it. They have money to buy and change anything and everything, so they come to Austin to make it into San Fransisco west. Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin are full blown copies of California. Only the country folk still have common sense.

“Compassion Fascism” is more like it.
