The correct, good comparison, American Christians in the Deep South are exactly like Islamic Fundamentalists. I was just reading about an organzied white group of men caught a black man named Mr. McIlherron in 1918 and, outside the confines of the due process rights guaranteed by all under the American constitution, not in a court of law, decided to execute him by tying him up, having kids put kindling under him, dousing him in oil and torching him alive in Tennessee. The newspaper reporter from The NY Times say, “The lower part of his body was burnt to a char, from the waist up the body was cooked to the bone.” Good lord, “cooked to the bone” with 2,000 whites watching, women and children. No white man went to jail for this extrajudicial killing, murder.
In May 1917, Ell Persons, a negro accused of something, convicted outside the law with no due rights process by an armed group of white men in Memphis Tennessee, ended up dead, executed by by the white Christian fundamentalist men burning him alive who decided Ell’s guilt not in an American court of law but outside it, then decapitated him, leaving his head on Beale Street. Some other whites came by, cut the ears and lip off for trophies, leaving the head there were it was photographed, the picture made into a postcard and sold for profit.
This type of white extrajudicial fundamentalist terrorism against black Americans was constant, with black Americans being tried by white men outside the American constitutional due process, finding one or a group of black Americans guilty, then executing them by castration, stabbing, dragging through the streets, often burning them alive and shooting them, or just shooting them up with bullets before handing them. I’ve read like over a hundred accounts so far like this and it is truly barbarism and human depravity of the worst sort. Fortunately, in 1981 in Alabama, the courts in those white southern states finally convicted a group of white men and sent them fairly to jail. After 150 years of slaughter of 10,000s of black Americans outside American laws and due rights process, with often thousands of white people from a county attending these black Americans outdoor public executions, finally a proper American verdict was reached and three white men were found guilty in an American court of law for slaughtering an innocent black man, Michael Donald, they picked up off the street. It’s exactly like Islamic terrorism, though it lasted a lot longer.
