#Religion: Allah is in control, not this judge!’: Capitol terror plotter receives 30-year sentence

A federal judge has sentenced a man who plotted a Capitol terror attack in January 2015 to 30 years behind bars.

Christopher Lee Cornell, 22, was arrested last year in connection with a planned massacre in the nation’s capital involving pipe bombs, 600 rounds of ammunition, and a semi-automatic rifle.

Monday’s sentencing in a Cincinnati courtroom comes four months after he pleaded guilty of attempted murder of government officials, support for a terrorist organization and a gun charge.

“Allah is in control, not this judge!” Cornell screamed as he was led out of the courtroom, The Associated Press reported Monday.

Cornell, who had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group, wanted to attack President Obama during the 2015 State of the Union address.

FBI Acting Special Agent in Charge John Barrios noted in court documents last year that the American public was not in danger because Cornell was unwittingly working with law enforcement as he hatched his plot.

#Healthwire: Castor oil.

Another possible solution to your wart problem is to rub castor oil on the wart. The oil can help moisturize the skin until the wart breaks apart and disappears.

Using undiluted tea tree oil is not recommended as it is quite strong but mixing it with carrier oil like almond or olive oil can be rewarding especially when it comes to removing warts.

#Religion: Congratulations, American “missionaries.” This is the fruit of your heresy in Chiapas.

The unifying theme between both of these stories is the propagation of heresy. Heresy throughout Christian history is traditionally punished severely because it propagates false ideas about the nature of God and His revelation. I speak not of mere disciplinary disagreements, or cases when charges of heresy were falsely used to silence public criticism since both are sins and there are many examples of people abusing this for their own ends. What I speak of are clear cases of heresy, such as Arianism. Arianism is the heresy that Jesus is a superman but not God. Spread originally by the Libyan priest Arius, his heresy infected 75% of all Christians and 80% of bishops. Coming at the dawn of the 4th century, Arius’ teaching endured for centuries after his death and provided the basis for Islamic theology’s denial of Jesus’ divinity. Arius the heretic being devoured in hell while Melchizedek the righteous looks on. But if he were alive today, Melchizedek would be called an “intoleran...
