The Crusade against Christians

Those who have declared war on the West are telling us who they hate.
Somali-born U.S. citizen Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was just nabbed by the FBI for trying to murder thousands of people at a Christmas-tree lighting ceremony the weekend after Thanksgiving in Portland's central square. "I want whoever is attending that event," the would-be mass murderer said, "to leave either dead or injured." His choice of a Christmas-related event was no quirk.
Last year, Nigerian citizen Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, attempted to detonate plastic explosives stashed in his underwear during Northwest Airlines Flight 253, en route from Amsterdam to Detroit. The date of the foiled attack? December 25. A video by al-Qaeda in Yemen last year shows Abdulmutallab justifying his attack against "the Jews and the Christians and their agents."
Are you starting to sense a pattern?
Then there's Nidal Malik Hasan, a U.S. Army major and psychiatrist who murdered 13 people and wounded 30 more at the Fort Hood Army base on November 5, 2009. Hasan earlier had told an associate that "you're not supposed to have alliances with Jews or Christian or others, and if you are killed in the military fighting against Muslims, you will go to hell."
Next we come to Osama bin Laden, who characterized U.S. troops in Lebanon as "crusader forces." Crusaders, of course, were the fighters of Christendom during the Middle Ages who ignored the teachings of Christ and attempted to forcibly regain control of the Holy Lands from Muslims-often brutally. Whether out of ignorance or malice, bin Laden frequently conflates that ancient mob with the highly trained armed forces of the United States, many members of which would not claim to be Christians.
