Man that's scary. Who got it in their head that the way to fight Islamic religious extremism is to counter with Christian religious extremism?!

Very, very dangerous. Remember, these kids if they don't die in a religious fervor represent the future of this country. And that's a scary thought - that they'll someday be in positions of power and authority. You might want to consider emigrating to Canada or Australia while you can before they take over. They are going to be much more dangerous than the Hitler youth ever were since there are those who will blindly follow them right into the trenches against all those who don't believe as they do.

Well let me think...... Hitler's Youth was brain washed into thinking what they did and so are these kids, so I would say the kids are innocent, but the adults should be stuck in a nut house until they become sane enough to lead a normal lives. Being a priestess (or Preacher whatever you wanna call this nut job of a holy woman) is no excuse for her actions no matter how far you can stretch your imagination to fit the topic. I would personally call what she did as emotional child abuse, but that is just me.
If I have offended anyone I apologize, but I am exercising my freedom of speech, as well as, my freedom of religion. So peace out.

Very dangerous... this is a key strategy element in the christian fundamentalist 'Dominionism' conspiracy. Christian 'Dominionists' (Reconstructionalists, Theonomists) have largely usurped the local level political apparatus of the Republican Party, and are engaged in a sub rosa process to politically motivate moderate Christians under the false cover of religious issues such as morality and family values, under cover of front organizations like the Christian Coalition, the American Family Association and the Promise Keepers. The goal is nothing less than the takeover of all elective offices in the USA.
Their doctrine comes from the Bible, starting with the term 'dominion' at Genesis 1:28... “And God said unto them, [Adam and Eve] Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; and have DOMINION… over every living thing.” They interpret DOMINION as: “... a supremacy in determining and directing the actions of others or in governing politically, socially, or personally.”
They want to remake the USA as a theocracy... and they are succeeding.
Its most common form, Dominionism, represents one of the most extreme forms of Fundamentalist Christianity thought. Its followers, called Dominionists, are attempting to convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children via home-schooling and in private Christian religious schools. See: JESUS CAMP http://www.apple.com/trailers/magnolia/jesuscamp/trailer/ Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order. One of the first tasks of this order will be to eliminate religious choice and freedom. Their eventual goal is to achieve the "Kingdom of God" in which much of the world is converted to Christianity. They feel that the power of God's word will bring about this conversion. No armed force or insurrection will be needed; in fact, they believe that there will be little opposition to their plan. People will willingly accept it. All that needs to be done is to properly explain it to them.
All religious organizations, congregations etc. other than strictly Fundamentalist Christianity would be suppressed. Nonconforming Evangelical, main line and liberal Christian religious institutions would no longer be allowed to hold services, organize, proselytize, etc. Society would revert to the laws and punishments of the Hebrew Scriptures. Any person who advocated or practiced other religious beliefs outside of their home would be tried for idolatry and executed. Blasphemy, adultery and homosexual behavior would be criminalized; those found guilty would also be executed. There are two conservative Christian pastors in Texas who have advocated the execution of all Wiccans. Ralph Reed, the executive director of the conservative public policy group the Christian Coalition has criticized Reconstructionism as "an authoritarian ideology that threatens the most basic civil liberties of a free and democratic society."
By failing to openly confront this insidious agenda, we have sown the seeds of our own destruction, while these religious wing-nuts are paving the way to Armageddon with gleeful anticipation.

I think any kind of fanaticism (especially religious) is bad. When adults try to mold young minds to think in only one direction, it's dangerous...i.e... KKK, Taliban, Al Qaeda, the republicans, LOL!
