"Christian" Militias Raided in Michigan

This weekend the FBI raided several locations of "Christian Militia" groups. As I have been warning for a while, the right wing is getting increasingly militant and wacko. These latest "Army's of God" were in Michigan. One was a group called Hutaree which quotes several Bible passages on its web site and then states: "We believe that one day, as prophecy says, there will be an Anti-Christ. ... Jesus wanted us to be ready to defend ourselves using the sword and stay alive using equipment."

Funny, I have read the Bible cover to cover and Jesus never says anything about violently defending yourselves. I believe he was the "Prince of Peace" and specifically instructed his followers to "turn the other cheek". I have to really wonder what Bible these guys are reading?

Like the group in Amarillo, these guys have perverted the words of Jesus and wrapped them around their own extreme beliefs. Remind you of some other fundamentalist radicals? Look at what the fundamentalist extremist Muslims have done to Islam.

UPDATE: Indictments were unsealed and the details are astounding. They include conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. These guys were very dangerous and had explosives, guns, and more. From CNN:

A federal grand jury in Detroit, Michigan, indicted six Michigan residents, two Ohioans and an Indianan on the conspiracy charges, plus attempted use of weapons of mass destruction, teaching the use of explosive materials and possessing a firearm during a crime of violence, U.S. Attorney Barbara L. McQuade and Andrew Arena, FBI special agent in charge, announced.
