‘Christian Terrorists’
Anti-Abortionist Calls for Violence, Says It Is Religious Duty

By Dean Schabner

Jan 22 — An anti-abortion activist, calling for a new wave of violence
against clinics and doctors, is following the example of violent Islamic
fundamentalists, telling those who share his views to become "Christian
terrorists" and promising them a reward in Heaven. (and 70 virgins?)

"As cream rising to the top of the milk, so the Christian terrorist
rises above the huddled masses of churchgoers and the many voices which
denounce their violent attempts to defend the innocent from they're
[sic] murderous assailants," Chuck Spingola wrote in a posting on the
Army of God Web site.

"Regarding abortion the separation is clear. The CT [Christian
terrorist] has the Word of God and a testimony of loving, albeit
terrifying [to the wicked], actions," he said.

Spingola declined to discuss the statement with ABCNEWS.com without
stipulations, but said he stood by the posting.

There is some question among academics and others who follow extremist
movements in the United States about how seriously to take the rhetoric,
particularly because none believe that such views are shared by more
than, at most, a few hundred people.

"The hard-liners have become more and more hard-line, and I think
they've lost most of their appeal even with the Christian right, which
might share some of their views," said Mark Potok of the Southern
Poverty Law Center, which monitors extremist movements.

It is not a view likely to be shared by more than a handful of the
thousands expected to march today in Washington in the March for Life,
an annual protest on the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v.
Wade decision that made abortion legal nationwide.

Mainstream anti-abortion groups such as the National Right to Life
Committee have praised the arrests and convictions of people involved in
violence against abortion providers and released a statement that the
group "strongly opposes any use of violence as a means of stopping the
violence that has killed more than 43 million unborn children since
1973."

Spingola's language is shocking, particularly when he seems to express
solidarity with people such as members of Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda.

Hussah!

Another "true christian" to use as an example in arguments about how
religion provides people with a good solid moral compass.

"Religion controls the weak, stupid and criminal-minded in ways that
threat of jail or community service cannot. If a vision of endless fire
and brimstone or torture at the clutches of horny dragon-beast with a
12-inch spiked ***** keeps even one person from putting a bullet in my
head, religion can't be all bad." - TMB
