Liberalism truly is a mental disorder.

Here’s the difference between Christians and Moslems, simplified so even the most deranged leftist might be able to understand it.

Compare the life and teachings of Jesus Christ to those of Mohammed.

If Christians ever committed acts of terrorism, they were doing so AGAINST the teachings of Jesus.

When Moslems commit acts of terrorism, which they do many times a day throughout the world, they are doing so ACCORDING to the teachings of Mohammed.

It should also be mentioned that the "anarchists" of the early 1900s were not anarchists in any practical sense but ideologically were socialists/communists who used the term "anarchy" shamelessly. It's the typical "freedom through slavery" concept of socialism but in this case it they just wanted to over throw the current government and take it's place. Of course this would usher in tyranny so I guess it could be characterized as a "Tyranny through anarchy".

I think it's an important point as the Democrat party is realistically a socialist movement, and as the author of the original piece is a Democrat, he wishes to obfuscate his own movement's involvement in terrorism by blaming it on others. This is in addition to his idiotic attempt at providing an imaginary contextual framework in which he can equate a tyrannical, barbaric, immoral ideological movement posing as a religion with the Catholic church.
