'Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, [Ultra-conservative pundit Ann Coulter] offered this solution to the problem of global terror: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity." Her statement prompted the National Review to drop her column.'

'American terrorist Clayton Waagner, who in the fall of 2001 gained a place on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list after sending anthrax threats to abortion clinics across the U.S. What was most remarkable about the trial, wrote Clarkson, was the "near-complete lack of media attention that it attracted,"'

'"As cream rising to the top of the milk, so the Christian terrorist rises above the huddled masses of churchgoers and the many voices which denounce their violent attempts to defend the innocent from they're [sic] murderous assailants," Chuck Spingola wrote in a posting on the Army of God Web site.'

'â₠œThe Jews need conversion,ââ ¡Ã‚¬Ã‚ says Kay Arthur. †œThey need to know that the Messiah is coming. And the Bible tells us whatââ‚ ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s going to happen.ââ‚à ‚¬Ã‚ [...]
'The Christian fundamentalists believe the only Israelis who are really listening to God are the hard line Jewish settlers who live on the West Bank and Gaza and refuse to move.[...]
'They believe that God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people. [...]
'What about the three million Palestinians who live on the West Bank and Gaza? McAteer suggests the bulk of them could be cleansed from this God-given real estate and moved to some Arab country. Nothing can come between the Jews and their land.
'In fact, many fundamentalists believe that when Prime Minister Rabin signed the Oslo accords and offered to trade land for peace, it was not only a mistake, it was a sin.
'â₠œThey were going against the word of God. You cannot go against the word of God. And I believe that God stopped it ... by the things that happened.â₠¬Â says Arthur. She hints that God punished Rabin by assassinating him.'
And that's just a few examples a quick google finds. Just because we don't hear about them much, doesn't mean they don't exist.

Just because you call them bogeymen doesn't mean that some of them aren't a threat....communists for instance

Just because we consider the West to be the "Good Guys" doesn't mean that some of *them* aren't a threat either. George W Bush et al, for instance!
