To those who always mention McVeigh as an example of "Christian" extremism...

WHAT? Are you seriously comparing McVeigh with the Sept 11 terrorists?


I will respectfully add to the always intelligent words of my wife...

Every so often, someone will, after a Google search and a quick perusal of Wikipedia, run with the "McVeigh was raised Catholic" statement. That may be true, but he never once stated that religion was even a minor motivation. Sept 11 was a planned attack against America and her ideals by radical Muslims who did and continue to profess their hatred for all who do not share their beliefs. What does it matter that Mcveigh was raised Catholic? Hell, so was Madonna. I don't dislike radical muslims because they are radical muslims or because they do not share my love of Jesus Christ. I dislike them because they flew airplanes into 3 buildings in my beloved America. My dislike extends from the the actual 911 terrorists to all radical muslims who condone, celebrate, and continue to plan such attacks.



I challenge anyone to show a single word from McVeigh asserting the fact that he acted for any reason other than to gain revenge against the federal government for the Waco raid, which BTW happened 2 years to the day before the OK City bombing. His stated intention was to cause a revolt against the gov't. From his arrest in 1995 to his execution in 2001, he never once mentioned the Bible.

The day before he was executed, in a letter to a Buffalo newspaper, McVeigh said he was an agnostic but that he would "improvise, adapt and overcome", if it turned out there was an afterlife.

Furthermore, his last words consisted of a reading of the poem "Invictus", which ends (and thus his final words were)

I am the master of my fate,

I am the captain of my soul.

Those don't sound like the words of a highly religious, and certainly not Christian, man.
