BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The hosts of the popular radio show “Rick & Bubba” teed off on critics of the “religious right” who have placed the blame on Christians for the Orlando gay night club shooting.
“See, there’s nothing in the Holy Bible that tells a Christian to use a gun to kill people because they’re gay,” co-host Rick Burgess quipped.
Among the groups critical of American Christians is the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
“The Christian Right has introduced 200 anti-LGBT bills in the last six months and people blaming Islam for this. No,” ACLU staff attorney Chase Strangio wrote on twitter.
The 29-year-old man now identified as Omar Mateen killed 50 people and wounded 53 others in a terrorist attack had pledged allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, NBC News reported. Such reports of the influence of radical Islamic terror have been confirmed by CNN.
Burgess asserts that it is those who subscribe to an ideology of Radical Islam that really hate gay people, not Christians.
“If they get their way in Sharia law, if you’re a homosexual you will be eradicated,” he said. “Now we may stand up and say Biblically we don’t think that marriage should be condoned, but we’re not coming to find a group of you in one room to see if we can slaughter you like animals.”
