OPINION (CBN) – Democratic presidential hopeful and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg is taking his attacks on Christianity up a notch, comparing Christians to radical Muslims. The Daily Wire reports Buttigieg made the comments during a radio interview Friday with Hugh Hewitt. During the interview, Hewitt asked Buttigieg about the threat of Islamic extremism. “Do you find Iranians’ variant of Shia extremism to be more dangerous to the world than the Sunni variant that we see in the Taliban and perhaps in
Hamas and some of the more radical elements of Wahhabism?” Hewitt asked. “Well, you know, not unlike Christianity when it is motivating someone to do something extreme,” Buttigieg responded, “it can have a thousand different flavors.” Meanwhile, Buttigieg says he’s a Christian, but he’s been touting his homosexuality and his marriage to a man named Chasten Glezman as a campaign issue, lashing out repeatedly at Vice President Mike Pence over his conservative Christian views. On the campaign trail, Buttigieg has blasted Pence’s cultural and religious conservatism. READ MORE
