This should be important if you are Christian, the authorities may now declare you to be an "extremist" threat, and under the law, particularily American law, it could even result in the fullest extant of law (NDAA, etc)
A U.S. Army training instructor listed Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism along with Al Qaeda and Hamas during a briefing with an Army Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania, Fox News has learned.
The incident occurred during an Army Reserve Equal Opportunity training brief on extremism. Topping the list is Evangelical Christianity. Other organizations listed included Catholicism, Al Qaeda, Hamas, the Ku Klux Klan, Sunni Muslims, and Nation of Islam.
The military also listed “Islamophobia” as a form of religious extremism.
A redaction has been made by the Army:
Army spokesman George Wright told Fox News that this was an “isolated incident not condoned by the Dept. of the Army.”
“This slide was not produced by the Army and certainly does not reflect our policy or doctrine,” he said. “It was produced by an individual without anyone in the chain of command’s knowledge or permission."

Overall in America and the world we are seeing a significant change in the previaling thought and actions of the public and the political authorities. Of course we all know America and the world have some nutcase churches out there, (Westboro..), and some Christian sects are surely closed minded and even intolerant and nasty towards those who do not share thier ideology. We know that some Christain churches and sects can be very controlling and even flirt on the edge of the Western legal system, impeding personal liberty. (Scientology, JW, etc).
For the rest of the normal Christains out there, this trend could be dangerous. I wonder what the GB think about these things. (I really wonder if they really have half a clue about the world around them, I doubt it because even the great majority of the public seem to be unaware of many many serious things)....
