Why Rioters Will Eventually Turn Their Rage On Christianity If Not Stopped

The outrage over statues and the 'white' depictions of Christ is meant to detract us from the real endgame: the 'canceling' of Christianity itself.

Towards the end of his reign, Tuthmosis III of Egypt ordered the destruction of all the public monuments to his aunt, Hatshepsut, the former leader of Egypt. It wasn’t the first instance of iconoclasm that the world had seen, but it has become one of the most memorable.

Iconoclasm — the deliberate destruction of images — has existed almost as long as man has walked the earth. When it took place, there were usually deep and profound reasons for these planned destructions. Rulers sought to erase the memory of their rivals.

Leaders like Leo III of the Byzantine Empire believed chopping statues was a good way to get God on their side at the next battlefield. Sometimes, images were destroyed simply because it was believed icons needed to be smashed since they represented an evil to be defeated. Such was the motivation for Protestant sects who destroyed Catholic statues in the Netherlands and Muslim populations who destroyed Christian icons in the Middle East and Africa.

Recently, Shaun King, a champion of the Black Lives Matter movement, called for the destruction of Christian iconography, statues, and stained glass, if they represent Christ, His mother, or any of the apostles as white. This, according to King, makes the iconography nothing more than a “gross form of white supremacy” and “racist propaganda” created to be “tools of oppression.”

Not surprising in the least.  Antifa and company make no secret of their adherence to Humanism.  They are proud of it.

I suppose this will help identify who are the wheat and who are the chaff.

They are communists, or otherwise backed and instigated by communists.
It's to be expected. It's part of the plan.

Once the statues are pretty much all torn down, expect the attacks on churches to increase, including arson, vandalization, destruction of icons, perhaps disruption of church services.

After all, Christianity (and perhaps Judaism) are "white supremacy" enforced through the ages...

(One wonders what kind of reaction this will receive from Hispanics...?)

They already have.  Churches, christian schools, clergy and anyone who wears a cross around their neck or has a religious tatoo of any sort will be targeted.

I was wondering the same thing about the Hispanics.  77% of U.S. Hispanics are Christian; 48% Catholic.

Question:   Would we be allowing ISIS mobs to wreak havoc and destroy private property, government property and our historical monuments?   No?   Then why the HELL are these commie cretins being allowed to? 

Answer:   Because the rabid, radical leftists (Democrats) are just that desperate to find something... ANYthing they can blame on Trump so they can finally get rid of him.

Wait.   Don't hispanic gang members wear crosses around their necks?   Cross tats?   Coulda sworn...

Yes .... I believe so .... didn't even think about that.

A large number of (actual) white supremacist types do, too.

"A large number of (actual) white supremacist types do, too."

Well, that settles it.
Another Fishrrman fearless prediction:
Won't be much longer until the moniker gets changed to "White Christian Supremecists"...

It doesn't matter. If you are to the right of Engels, Marx, or Lenin, you are "far right" to the media. Mention Jesus or the Constitution, and you are an "Extremist", and mention YHWH, and they go batsh*t, frothing at the mouth.

If you are really for any of the things that made America great, in the strictest sense, as originally intended, you are the enemy of the Communists and their fellow travelers. The useful idiots are just pawns who don't have a clue what they are in for, from either side if things get hot.
