The left-leaning media is quick to denounce extremism that occurs on the right, as indeed they should be.
No true Christian, however, takes matters of justice into his own hands, for the Word of God is very clear in the matter: "VENGEANCE IS MINE, SAYS THE LORD, I WILL RECOMPENSE." Romans 12:19
The Lord is not oblivious to evil. There will be a day, indeed, there
will be an eternity, of retribution for the one who chooses evil.
No one who is a Christian takes it upon himself to do the work of God, for only God can see and judge men's hearts.
Of course, the true Christian is appalled at the evil he sees around him. He anguishes most over the wickedness that is done in the name of the only holy, sinless Man who ever lived--the Savior Christ Jesus--but he does not presume to take upon himself the execution of justice against the perpetrators of evil. He knows God has a prescription for how justice is to be meted out and he leaves God's prerogative with God.
If the BIBLE is true, as Christians claim to believe that it is, then whether evil is done in the name of Jesus or in compliance with the admonition of the Quran that a Muslim should slay the infidel where he finds him, (see Sura 2:191) that person has done evil in the sight of the One True Living and Holy GOD.
Although there is no sin too great for the LORD to forgive, if the sinner dies without repenting of usurping the prerogative of GOD to be the AUTHOR and FINISHER of LIFE, Acts 3:15, Hebrews 12:2, that person has relegated himself to a Christ-less eternity.
The unrepentant sinner has condemned himself to the flames of hell forevermore.
