Five-term Washington state Rep. Matt Shea has been circulating a manual for holy war in the United States. In the manual, he writes about killing non-believers and establishing a Christian theocracy. The four-page document, titled Biblical Basis for War, gives a step by step guide on how a Christian theocratic movement could, and should, exterminate its opposition in a battle to win a hypothetical holy war.
The document details actions which would not be permitted, such as same-sex marriage, abortions and communism. A failure to agree to these 'demands' would lead, it says, to the death of all males.
Just My Opinion
The fact that an American citizen could be free from imprisonment, after writing and distributing such abhorrent material is disturbing. It seems so obvious that such incitement to commit crimes, and the spreading of hate speech, should lead to a prison term or committal to a psychiatric hospital.
For such an individual to be able to seek re-election as a lawmaker in Washington state, when he is already on an FBI watchlist because of the document, is astonishing.
Surely, he must be forced to relinquish the role and should instead be subject to a full investigation and, if justified, prosecution.
