How Do Christian Nationalists Spell Fatwa?

The Christian Taliban isn't hiding its religious fanaticism anymore (Recording at the end)

"Wilson's remarks at the Pentagon assured the audience that their battles were God’s battles, that God would be their protector just as he was for figures from scripture like Noah and David. He suggested that God’s people, having searched for the enemy, now realize they are surrounded—the implication presumably being that the real enemy is other Americans."

"They would limit the ability of believers of other faiths—including non-Protestant Christians—to publicly practice their faith; Wilson recently said on a podcast that the theocratic society he envisions would ban mosques from broadcasting calls to prayer and prohibit Catholic parades honoring the Virgin Mary."

"not merely condoning a form of women’s submission in marriage that has been common in evangelicalism, but also severely limiting leadership roles in the church and in government and society to men only. …

Wilson & his followers would deny not only women but also non-Christians the franchise and the right to pursue public office."

"Wilson and other Christian nationalists draw on a framework known as 'sphere sovereignty' to interpret and apply the Bible to every area of modern life. ...

The government would advance a view of the world that is deeply patriarchal—" (continued in /5)

"For them, a Christian nation would be governed directly by biblical law, and in every area of of its common life and culture it would be shaped by a comprehensive 'biblical world and life view.'

A Christian nation, in his account, is a nation in which there is no area of life and culture where the Bible is not the ultimate authority."

"Proponents of America as a Christian nation are often somewhat hazy about what the end state of a 'Christian nation' would look like specifically, but Wilson and his followers have carefully laid out a detailed vision."

What Pete Hegseth’s Spiritual Mentor Wants for America

Pastor-theologian Douglas Wilson advocates theocracy, the restriction of the franchise from women and nonbelievers, and much else—and he is closer than ever to real power.

“Schlapp is repeating an unfortunately common trope in the U.S., particularly among conservatives: Muslim and Arab lives are cheap, especially when we are at war with them. To these bigots, Muslim societies are backward and if the U.S. government inflicts something bad on them, it’s their society’s fault.”

Spoken like a true abuser in a cult of abusers.

To them, girls are not people but property.

"The rest of us, our rights, our lives, become collateral damage in this gruesome fantasy.

Christian nationalism and the Christian patriarchy that comes built in are direct threats to our basic freedoms: freedom of religion, freedom (for women) to vote, freedom for all of us to make basic choices about our own lives."

"It is usually assumed that young people are more liberal than older generations. Not according to startling new research carried out in 29 countries, including the UK, that suggests that almost a third of gen Z men believe that a wife should always obey her husband. A similar number say a husband should have the final say on important decisions."

As a boomer, I’m shocked by gen Z’s attitude towards women – something has gone very wrong

New research suggests older people have more progressive views on women’s rights than younger generations. This direction of travel is deeply concerning, says Joan Smith, former co-chair of the Mayor of London’s VAWG Board
