When was the last time a Christian terrorist made people recite the Lord’s Prayer to separate Christians from non-Christians who are then executed.

During CNN’s “Legal View with Ashleigh Banfield” on Dec. 15, the host repeatedly compared an Islamic creed, the Shahada, to the Lord’s Prayer recited by Christians. To “make a connection” for viewers, Banfield emphasized how people shouldn’t fear the Shahada – even if terrorists “use [it] to separate Muslims from non-Muslims” for death.
The topic was the Sydney gunman who held hostages in a chocolate store. “He demanded an ISIS flag, and he posted a black flag in the shop’s window,” Banfield said. Showing a picture of the flag, she translated the writing on it: “There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the prophet of God.’”
Peter Bergen, CNN’s national security analyst, explained the writing as “the essential doctrine of Islam” that appears on ISIS flags, Al Qaeda flags and even on the Saudi Arabia national flag. Agreeing with him, Banfield identified the writing as the Shahada. “[A]nd,” she continued, “I think if you wanted to make a connection, it would be maybe considered equal to what Christians consider the the Lord’s Prayer.”
