On March 22, 2007, the Burlington Township High School conducted a mock terror drill using Right Wing Christian Fundamentalists as the terrorists. The scenario revolved around a family attacking the school after their daughter was expelled for praying before class. Disturbed by the fictional scenario, many Christian students went home and complained to their parents.
In the mock terror drill, the gunmen, portrayed by two Burlington Township police detectives, were members of a right wing fundamentalist group called the "New Crusaders". This group supposedly didn't support the separation of church and state and had entered the school, shot some students and took over the school's media center because one of their daughters had been expelled for praying before class.
Many sources are highly irate about this mock terror drill, stating that using "Christian" fundamentalists, instead of Islamic terrorists, makes no sense. The school Superintendent, Chris Manno, worked with Burlington Township Police Department to come up with the strange scenario for the mock terror drill. "You perform as you practice," Superintendent Chris Manno said prior to the exercise. "We need to practice under conditions as real as possible in order to evaluate our procedures and plans so that they're as effective as possible." Considering the fact that prayer before class is protected by the Constitution, the basis of the scenario was completely unrealistic.
It's OK to bash Christians. The media does it all the time in many ways.
However, nobody is allowed to say anything negative or non politically correct about:
Muslims
Homosexuals/Bisexuals/Transgendered folks
African Americans
A good example is the big ruckus about Don Imus.
He just said some things that are being sung about all the time in Rap music
and he got in trouble and had to apologize.
Racists like Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson can say all kinds of ignorant and bigoted things about "white" folks but that is a real "one way" street.
Why is it "hate speech" unless it is directed at white folks or Christians?
Why is it a more serious crime to kill an African American or a Homosexual than it is to kill a person who is "white" or heterosexual?

Then, of course there are the Crusades and the Inquisition. Also the settlement of the North American Continent and establishment of the United States by genocide and ethnic cleansing based on the "Christian" doctrine of Manifest Destiny.

Manifest Destiny was not a christian doctrine. it was a political doctrine akin to the Bush Doctrine of pre-emtive strike. (sp)
