She then said that “radical Christianity” is just as threatening as radical Islam. Addressing the 9-11 anniversary and talking about security, co-host...

While discussing the 9/11 anniversary and the war in Iraq on Sept. 12, O'Donnell compared "radical Christianity" to the Islamo-fascist beliefs of those who planned and carried out the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Advocates for traditional, biblical Christianity are not surprised by O'Donnell's attack.
