Homegrown Terrorism: When Christians Attack, the Press Keeps Quiet

[McCamy Taylor]

On the other side of the world, a group of Muslim doctors in Great Britain staged two amateurish acts of political theater which experts have said would likely have caused little real loss of life (had not one of them managed to set fire to himself. The result? The news media here at home stages a three ring circus of terra.

Meanwhile, at our own back door, in Burleson, Texas, just a few miles from Dallas, several young men were apprehended as they were attempting to detonate a bomb. A real bomb, capable of doing real damage. This all happened on Wednesday. They were also members of a religious cult which advocates violence to purge the world of sin. The difference? These boys are good ol' boys from Texas. They are named Dayton and Michael, and they are Christians--which is why you probably haven't heard a word about them.

Burleson police arrested two men Wednesday and one Thursday who cited religious beliefs in attempting to detonate a bomb at Victory Family Church in Burleson.

According to reports, the suspects — Dayton Lee Calaway, 19, of Burleson, Michael Philip Plaisted Jr., 18, of Burleson, Jered Michael Ragon, 18, of Burleson, and an underage boy — twice attempted to detonate the device before being interrupted by a deacon. Police discovered the device propped against the church door.

About the bomb:

Although Burleson Police Cmdr. Chris Havens declined to elaborate on the bomb, he said it was a simple, homemade device, the plans for which could probably be easily found on the Internet. Had the device detonated it would have caused a substantial explosion and probably led to a fire in the church, he said.

About the Christian cult:

Although the name of the group the three associate with is unknown, Havens said the men identified themselves as radical Christian activists who oppose government and organized religion.

“They said the act at the church was a test of the device itself and to get the attention of the community,” Havens said.

Group members share common beliefs about the demise of society, which they believe has become too focused on self-improvement and self-gratification and lost it’s focus on the glorification of God, police said. The group is attempting to wake up society by committing destructive acts, according to reports. Group members further believe there are too many denominations and churches, and there ought to be only one.

Today, this story finally filtered into the mainstream media. It made it to the Fort Worth Star Telegram! That is 15 miles in three days. At this rate, the papers in DC and New York may pick up the story some time around 2010.

Why is the mainstream media so obsessed with pretending that religious fanatics are all Muslims? Only two of the terrorist attacks on US soil have occurred at the hands of Arabs. All the abortion clinic terrorists are Christians. The Branch Davidians were a Christian sect. The Oklahoma City bombing was not committed by anyone named Abdul. A Christian recently was caught with napalm at Jerry Falwell's funeral (note how CNN, which loves to magnify the scope of Muslim terrorism, downplays this crime):

"Mark David Uhl's intended target is unknown, authorities said." Since when has our law enforcement hesitated to assign the most atrocious motives to the terrorists it captures? If this were a Muslim, we would have been told the napalm was clearly intended to murder innocent women and children, "Because they hate us for our freedom."

After the napalm story penetrated the national news, the mainstream media was careful to get the conversation back on the subject of Muslim terrorism by releasing the results of one of the silliest polls ever, in which young Muslim men were asked if they ever felt sympathy for Muslim terrorists. When a small number admitted that they did, this "fact" was circulated all across the country as proof that all Muslim men were powder kegs just waiting to go boom.

I wonder what would happen if they asked young Southern Baptist men the same question.

The Department of Injustice under Ashcroft and Gonzales has done its part to aid the mainstream media in creating the impression that terrorism is a Muslim disease. We are told that Arabs with cameras are dangerous, but anyone else with a camera is just a tourist. We are told that a bunch of guys who videotaped themselves at a rifle range shouting jihad are a threat to our way of life (I think they are a threat to tasteful film making) and that another group of guys were going to blow up the Sears Tower, when in truth they did not even have a clue much less a plan.

Funny thing about the Justice Department. They actually did have one honest to god terror cell that they broke up and prosecuted. You probably can not recall where it was or what happened, because they do not like to talk about this case in east Texas. That is because no one involved was named Mohammed and none of them prayed facing Mecca. They were all home grown American criminals, who had a good old fashioned home grown cyanide bomb.
