Entry: The Lie of Assimilation Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_lie_of_assimiliation#8917 Post contents: @Scott Be careful about defense of terrorism by mainstream Christians. While you will not find defenders of suicide bombings per se, you will find plenty of terrorist apologists from Irish and Irish Americans, who are very much mainstream catholics. And Latin America is full of mainstream catholics who defend terrorism, wether the subversive or the state kind (need I remind you of that military chaplain in Argentina who assuage the moral doubts of torturers, telling the that they are doing God's work?) When it comes to politics, religion is just another excuse to commit atrocities - or rather provides the vocabulary that allows you to feel virtuous for doing the unspeakable. Sent at: 2008 07 04
