"I think the christian should form a kind of underground Christian radical organization to fight back the Moslem radicals ASAP. We must make our stand in this holy crusade. I am sicked to see the Christian being slaugthered by the Moslem and there's nothing we can do about it. Don't forget in their holy book Alquran, they called us a sinner and deserved to die by their hand."
