Law & Order used to be a favorite show of mine.  Back when I was a kid my mom and I would watch it every night it was on.  It was usually pretty good because the “ripped from the headlines” plots were entertaining and sometimes thought-provoking.

But lately Law & Order is less “ripped from the headlines” as “ripped from the progressive play book.” Last night’s episode was apparently no exception as it depicted a church of Christian jihadists bent on murder and holy war.

Law and Order tonight was a full display of the New Blood Libel. It dreamed up an imaginary Church of jihad loving Christians, who were going to take up “war against the hypocrites”. A young boy is convinced to murder his mother for having an affair, with a Muslim no less, by his preacher. And an entire congregation calls him “God’s warrior”. As the police take the pastor away, you see perhaps a hundred children surrounding the police cars, threatening the cops with charges of “this is war”.

In the video they show, he asks the children, “What do we say to the Muslims who would face us? What do we say to the blasphemers who ruin God’s house?” Again the children chant “this is war!”

I’m not even a Christian and this comes off as absurd to me.  The world is facing a serious threat from extremist Muslims, and that inspires the writers at Law & Order to craft stories about extremist Christians.

What a joke.
