“A U.S. Army training instructor listed Evangelical Christianity and Catholicism as examples of religious extremism along with Al Qaeda and Hamas during a briefing with an Army Reserve unit based in Pennsylvania,”wrote Fox News’ Todd Starnes in 2013.

It just seems as if Western statists must have had trouble with those primary school categorization questions and now, even as adults, could think that “bomb, cannon, mortar, rifle, pistol, and pen” all belong together.

Speaking of pens, there may be another man who is on a government watch list just for wielding one: anti-jihadism crusader Robert Spencer. “I’ve been informed that someone certainly is keeping tabs on me,” wrote Spencer last week at PJ Media.
