Northwestern University Historian Claims Christianity Poses Bigger Threat Than Islamic Terrorism.

A scholar from Northwestern University argued recently that Christian Fundamentalism poses a greater threat to the United States than Islamic terrorism. Catherine M. Wallace, who is a faculty member at Northwestern’s School of Medicine and a Christian herself, argues that fundamentalist access to United States armaments is the number one threat to the nation’s security. Wallace argues that because radical Christians are in positions of power and control the nuclear codes, they pose a greater danger to American society than do Islamic terrorists. “If [anything Islamic] wanted to attack an American city, they had to hijack an airliner. If they want to blow up a concert, they need to put bombs on their own children and send young men in to kill themselves… that kind of radicalism [Christian fundamentalism] in control of nuclear codes was a much, much greater threat,” Wallace claimed.

The atheistic Christian Catherine Wallace is much like the heretics who deny Christ is God in the flesh, God is creator of heaven and earth and the hosts therein, and that Christians are sinners who know that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. She writes like a radical feminist Hillary supporter who calls evil good and good evil. Lord Jesus, save us from those who desire to destroy our families and who hate you.

The past 8 years, you can count the radical mooslums on Klownie the Kenyan’s kingdom in the White Hut. What Christians?

Supposedly all these years in control, and it only resulted in the most prosperous, and powerful nation in history.

Ms Wallace, are you stupid or just ignorant? Christians do not blow people up while saying ‘GOD is great’ or we don’t behead people. We don’t fly into skrscapers, either...
