American homosexual activists have taken their agenda to a new level of ‘domestic terrorism’ with acts of vandalism against Christian Liberty Academy in Arlington Heights, Illinois.
The violence, which resulted in damaged doors and windows having to be boarded up, occurred on the morning of 15 October, the day the school had scheduled a talk from Dr Scott Lively, author of The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality and the Nazi Party.
Dr Lively’s speech, sponsored by the Naperville-based organization, Americans for Truth Against Homosexuality, proceeded as planned.
One of the pieces of concrete thrown through the window had a note attached to it that read: “This is just a sample of what we will do if you don’t shut down Scott Lively and AFTAH … Quit the homophobic (expletive)!”
Other bricks had the words ‘Shut down Lively’ written on them in addition to obscene phrases.
Hours after the attack an email was sent to AFTAH President Peter LaBarbera by someone claiming responsibility for the crime and threatening more violence against the school. It read:
‘In the early morning hours of October 15th, we put two chunks of concrete through the glass windows and doors of the Christian Liberty Academy…. We did this because at 6 p.m. today they will be hosting an event organized by the homophobic hate group Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, that [sic] will be presenting an award to Scott Lively.”
‘These chunks of concrete were thrown through these windows and doors for two reasons: to show that there is a consequence for hatred and homophobia in our community and to directly cause this event to be shut down. If this event is not shut down, and the homophobic day trainings do not end, the Christian Liberty Academy will continue to be under constant attack.”
Peter LaBarbera, head of AFTAH, commented that if the vandalism had been against a pro-gay group there would have been a hate crime probe.
“We see the homosexual agenda is becoming so arrogant in its growing power,” LaBarbera commented, “but we’ve never seen this before, what we would call ‘homofascism’ being raised to the level of domestic terrorism.”
“A lot of Christians cower in fear before the power and influence of the homosexual lobby. It’s not helpful. If you demonstrate you can be intimidated, you reward the bully. The ‘gay’ bully has been rewarded enough times, so many times they think they can get their way. We hope more churches will refuse to be bullied and will stand up to tell the truth about the homosexual agenda.”
His words were echoed by Dr Lively who said, “I don’t want to be overly dramatic, but I believe this incident may represent a turning point in the culture war. The claim of responsibility and threat of future violence by the ‘gay’ militants, ala Islamist terrorists, is unprecedented.”
Dr Lively, the author of five books and president of the California-based Abiding Truth Ministries, has long been an object of hatred among militant homosexualualists.
PRAY: Thank the Lord for the courage demonstrated by Dr Lively and the AFTAH. Calvin Lindstrom, pastor of Christian Liberty, was asked how the church was responding to the attack, and he answered, “In prayer. The Lord is our ultimate defender, and we trust the Lord will give us safety and will bring whoever did this to justice.” Their example is worthy for us to follow. May we also turn immediately to God in prayer when faced with troubles.
