I was more speaking of the al Qaeda and ISIS camps. I'm sure this former congressman passed through some real churches in his life, but this latest one seems like a fraud. Just as many would say any religious services these groups hold at their camps are not real mosques.
Well I am not gonna dispute whether he has come across an Ahole or two in his life. Or if his history of churches have led to his blood thirsty desire to murder.

I would agree. But then would that make "radical" churches/mosques not legitimate? That's basically what they decided to do in Egypt and shut those down.

Like whatever this church he was a part of was. Or some ISIS training camp having a "mosque" on site. Or, to get away from terrorists, any random polygamist church that tries to say it is a form of Mormonism.
Yeah my only concern is who decides what's radical and what's not.... By even a normal persons definition obama's and Oprah's church would be radical. So As easy as it aeems for you and I to pIckey out radical churches what happens when you get someone deciding who has an agenda....

I wonder if that works for other religions.
It does
not apply to other religions... Only Christianity.
I'm gonna break every record they've got. I'm tellin' you right now. I don't know how I'm gonna do it, but it's goin' to get done.
