In Wake Of Church Shooting, Theodore Shoebat Says Atheists Must Be Put To Death

Extremist right-wing activist Theodore Shoebat responded to yesterday’s mass shooting at a church in Texas by posting a video on his website in which he said that atheists in America must be subjected to an inquisition and put to death.

Shoebat, who was featured in a radically anti-gay documentary in 2015 along with various Religious Right activists and Republican elected officials, declared that the fact that the man responsible for the deadly attack was reportedly an atheist shows that atheism represents a dire threat to Christians in America and must be dealt with harshly.

“Sodomites and atheists need to be purged from society,” Shoebat said. “Sodomites automatically need to be put to death, that’s a no-brainer because they have already committed the crime of homosexuality. Atheists, on the other hand, they need to be inquisited, bottom line. They need to be inquisited and I think that when you have atheist enclaves in society, when you have atheist strongholds in society, atheist establishments that are very influential and when you see how fanatic they are, how much they hate Christianity, how much they hate God, how much they hate the church, you really can’t tolerate people like that and those people need the death penalty.”

Reported that the shooter was an angry Atheist that posted threats against Christians on social media.

If they throw a person into water and that person swims (float like a duck to those snake charmers), that person is a goner for sure. If a person cannot swim, well not sure that they have thought that far ahead.

Prior to the advent of the internet, these extraordinarily paranoid people could not reach the numbers they do today; they were confined to a humbling soap box in some downtown square. Or they’d vent in a bi-weekly mimeographed memo, etc.

Now, when they spout off their anti-American, provocative bullshit online, off to thousands of tweets and Facebook pages it goes.

The worst part is his Dad (Walid Shoebat,) emigrated to the US from Lebanon, and is touted as a "terrorism expert" since he claims to have once been a Palestinian terrorist.
BUT...

People checked into Walid Shoebat's claims, and found that they were all (and I do mean ALL) simply just made up stories.

Yet Walid Shoebat still gets hired by police departments to "educate" them on "terrorists."
