Between 1945 and 1950 [after WWII] ~ Europe witnessed the largest episode of forced migration, and perhaps the single greatest movement of population, in human history.
Between 12 million and 14 million German-speaking civilians—the overwhelming majority of whom were women, old people, and children under 16—were forcibly ejected from their places of birth in Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, Yugoslavia, and what are today the western districts of Poland.
Deposited among the ruins of Allied Germany to fend for themselves, thousands died as a result of starvation, disease, beatings, or outright execution. Conservative estimates suggest that at least 500,000 people lost their lives in the course of the operation.
This took place by order of the United States and Britain as well as the Soviet Union, nearly two years after the declaration of peace.
Now, some sixty [60] years later we read:
Homeland Security's National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism categorizes a racist hate group as part of the "Christian Identity Movement."
Extreme Right Wing terrorist groups are defined as those who "believe in the need to be prepared for an attack either by participating in paramilitary preparations and training or participation in survivalism. Groups may also be fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation), anti-global, suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty, and believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty.
"Christian Reconstructionists" (politically active Christians) and "Islamists" are listed as the same religious terrorist threat. Groups opposing
abortion are also considered a terrorist threat.
Are true Bible believing Christians next in line to experience expulsion, extermination, execution or…. at the hands of ‘Allied forces’?
"...they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations [perhaps even our own] for My name’s sake." Matthew 24:9

Well, the Christian Identity movement certainly is racist and some of them have preached violence. The certainly are cultic and not Christian in their racist teachings, and in fact most hold to bizarre ideas of British Isrealism, and are downright heretical in the majority of their teachings. I have no problem whatsoever with having members of this cultic fraternity being seen as dangerous. What disgusts me is that the government would associate this bunch with real Christianity.
ReplyDelete...and then they came for the Christians.
...and there was no one left to speak.
