So what if the Minnesota political assassin had been a Muslim, who attended a mosque instead of Christ for the Nations?

The claims of Trump and of the sycophants around him that Christianity is discriminated against and persecuted in the United States are patently false, and this is just one example among many. We'll see where this goes. But it is highly likely that Boelter will not, in any way, receive the same treatment or sentence that any radicalized Muslim in the United States would receive for doing exactly the same thing.

Wanna bet on it?

Let's observe, carefully, exactly how this specific conservative Evangelical, Vance Boelter, who is now the prime suspect in a political assassination which also included the homicide of a spouse, two attempted murders, one a political assassination, and a conspiracy to commit more assassinations, will be treated. The lies and distortions, and defending what he did, are already pouring out of the far right. Let's observe how his religious background is handled, and whether terms like "radicalized" are tossed around by the media. Ultimately, the test will be the plea deal that he makes with the prosecution, and how they will handle this particular case, compared to what we have seen in similar situations where the defendant has not been white, or Christian.

I am going to conclude, in advance, based on observation of the world in which we live, that the grievances of the Evangelicals referenced in the Baptist News Global article linked above are completely bogus and false. The premise for which Trump's religious liberty commission exists is that Christians are discriminated against and marginalized in American society, and that is an absolutely false contention. White Christians are the single most privileged group among all Americans, and while the decline in their numbers, and some court rulings from the sixties pushed back against that, it is still a fact. And this incident, and the manner in which the media is already handling it, is proof of that.

1. Slight correction white MALE Christians are the most privileged group

Women are now baby factories as evidence by the brain dead woman on life support that 'incubated' the baby until a c section.

They are trying to make it very difficult for women to vote if they changed their last name from their birth certificate. They will try to eliminate the 19th amendment.

They already killed the ERA and laws requiring equal pay for equal work.

They want trad wives barefoot and pregnant.

Now, this wackadoodle is a white male claiming to be a Christian. So, yes he will be treated with kid gloves

2. I use the term "pseudo-Christian" in referencing groups like this.

They use language and have some characteristics of traditional Christian practice, but their doctrine and theology is way off track and leads to much more of a gathering pot for money and the free labor of constituents for the benefit of the organization than it is any kind of genuine Christian experience.

The fact that there were multiple graduates, former students and former leaders of this institution present on January 6th is an indication that its theology does lend itself to the kind of right wing radicalization that is found in the New Apostolic Reformation movement, which is a cover for white supremacist neo-nazis.
