Right-Wing Crusaders Militia Group Plotted Terror Attack On Muslim Immigrants, FBI Charges
WASHINGTON ― Three Kansas men who were allegedly part of a domestic terrorist group called the Crusaders were arrested by the FBI on Friday, charged with plotting to carry out an attack on Muslims living in the state.
The men are identified as Patrick Stein, Gavin Wright and Curtis Allen, and are all in their late 40s. They belonged to a group that espoused sovereign citizen, anti-government, anti-Muslim, and anti-immigrant extremist beliefs, according to an FBI agents affidavit, and allegedly plotted to attack Muslim immigrants, focusing on an apartment complex in Garden City, Kansas.
According to the Department of Justice, the trio allegedly stockpiled firearms, ammunition and explosive materials, and discussed parking four vehicles filled with explosives at the four corners of the apartment complex in order to set off a massive explosion.
The attack, which the men allegedly said would wake people up, was planned for Nov. 9, one day after the presidential election, according to the DOJ.

those politically correct republicans can say "Right wing Christian Terrorist".

There were militant groups a couple of decades back with roots in liberation theology.
I don't know calling them "left-wing Xian terrorists" would be very informative. Any more than calling their non-militant peers "reconstructionists".

Christian terrorist?

(35,784 posts)7. Sounds less like a religion problem
Than an anti-outsider problem. One not even couched in a very pro-anything rhetorical setting.
