Killer Jesus

The rise of Christian Fundamentalist Terrorism. 

Last week when Scott Roeder, the murderer of the Wichita Kansas abortion clinic provider, Dr. George Tiller, had his day in court, he spent much of his rambling self-defense quoting the words of another abortion clinic assassin, Rev. Paul Hill. In the 1990s my own research had brought me into conversation with others in the inner circle in which Hill and Roeder were at that time involved. So it was a chilling experience for me to realize that this awful mood of American Christian terrorism—culminating in the catastrophic attack on the Oklahoma City Federal Builiding—has now returned.
