Don't know who you are or what your game plan is here, "Warrior," but you're bordering on anti-Christian rhetoric. It appears your aim here is to divert attention from foreign-inspired, Islamic-based terrorism in the U.S. You would have done well to have gone to the Heritage Foundation website and researched terror plots in the U.S. since 9/11. You would have found this:



You also "conveniently" left out details of the Boston Marathon bombing and the multiple violent attacks on what is essentially U.S. soil -- U.S. embassies and consulates, including Benghazi that left a U.S. ambassador dead, as well as his PIO and security detail.

So forgive me if I take your post with a grain of salt. I sense a deep underlying ulterior motive you don't want anyone to glimpse too closely.

Dear Viligant _Warrior,

There is nothing anti-Christian in my thread! Do not manipulate my name because I can say the same about you, Warrior!

Hadassah is Hebrew! Twisting words is unbecoming behavior, lack integrity and honesty! I am not spewing hate towards anyone because that is not of Jesus Christ. I am curious of your reaction because it does not make sense to me.

[h=1]Isaiah 54:17English Standard Version (ESV)[/h]17 no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed,
and you shall refute every tongue that rises against you in judgment.
This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord
and their vindication[a] from me, declares the Lord.”

Dear Viligant _Warrior,

There is nothing anti-Christian in my thread!
Then perhaps you can explain how it is you chose to focus on what you claim is "Christian extremism" (a direct cut-and-paste job from this Wikipedia article) that is obviously slanted and leaves out huge chunks of American history that would equally impugn liberal ideology as it gives great attention to Christians, Southerners, and conservatives who have committed acts of violence, but barely mentioning, for example, Sara Jane Olson or Kathy Boudin, women still imprisoned for participating in radical leftist groups that planted bombs and killed people?

Perhaps you can explain why that article lists so-called "Christian terrorists" separately but does not have the same type of categorization for radical Islamic terrorists? Perhaps you can explain why you chose an article that pads U.S. terrorists statistics with serial-killer data?

And then tell me about your name. You think people on here don't know who "Hadassah" is in radical Zionist cults? You abrogate the true, godly bravery of Esther and turn her into some kind of armored warrior. So, forgive me, but ...

Do not manipulate my name because I can say the same about you, Warrior!
... demand denied. I am a warrior, both past and present. I was a warrior for my government, and served honorably. I am a warrior for Christ, carrying not a sword, but His word. What can you say to justify your use of the name?

Good Morning,

I have been waiting for you to ask those questions!! If you would had click on the sites that they are very lengthen in nature. I did not purposely leave out Boston because it is on that second website! I do not understand your ATTITUDE towards ME! Self Reflection is very important in ones journey of life. Do not falsely accuse someone because that means you are speaking about oneself(subconscious).

Have a beautiful day in the LORD with peace, compassion and love. Please, pray for nations throughout the earth! Thank you for serving your country!

Ah, so you're an "amateur psychologist" as well. Wonderful, just what this site needs. Not.

You didn't answer a single, solitary question I asked. So you go on and have a nice life, and thanks for revealing yourself. God bless.
