A Christian legal expert is calling for an
investigation of a number of homosexual activists for advocating
violence against supporters of traditional marriage.
Matt Barber of Liberty Counsel checked
blogs of homosexual activists in the aftermath of Election Day and was
shocked at the response to three more states -- California, Arizona,
and Florida -- approving constitutional amendments declaring marriage
to be between one man and one woman.
"A number of homosexuals and homosexual activists are actually calling
for violence, calling for churches to be burned to the ground --
churches that supported these amendments," he explains. The call for
violence includes killing Christians.
In a written statement Barber quotes from several blogs --
-
"Can someone in CA please go burn down the Mormon temples there, PLEASE. I mean seriously. DO IT."
-
"I'm
going to give them something to be f--ing scared of....I'm a radical
who is now on a mission to make them all pay for what they've done."
-
"Burn their f--ing churches to the ground, and then tax the charred timbers."
-
"I hope the No on 8 people have a long list and long knives."
-
"I swear, I'd murder people with my bare hands this morning."
-
"Trust me. I've got a big list of names of mormons and catholics [sic] that were big supporters of Prop 8....As far as mormons and catholics...I warn them to watch their backs."
According
to Barber, this amounts to more than just people "blowing off steam"
because they are dissatisfied with a political outcome.
"This is criminal activity, and federal authorities need to investigate
this immediately," he asserts. "These are hate crimes under the
definition of hate crimes." The activist believes it would be "national
front-page news" if Christian websites were advocating violence against
homosexuals.
Barber says he finds the blog postings "ironic" because "homosexual
activists are the first to decry hate and intolerance." He is calling
on groups such as the Human Rights Campaign and the National Gay and
Lesbian Task Force to call immediately for an end to the threats of
violence against Christians.
Thirty states now have constitutional amendments defining marriage as
the union of one man and one woman; 40 have a Defense of Marriage Act
on the books.
