An Oklahoma man has been arrested after authorities accused him of throwing a pipe bomb at the headquarters of a group in Salem, Massachusetts, called The Satanic Temple.

Surveillance cameras showed a man walk up to the building soon after 4 a.m. on April 8 wearing a face covering, tactical vest and gloves, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI. The man then ignited an improvised explosive device, threw it at the main entrance then ran away. The bomb partially detonated, resulting in some minor fire damage, authorities said.

      Weaponized Christian terrorists strike again. Most of them didn’t get this far without a lot of pushing from right-wing talk radio, cable propaganda channels, YouTube attention algorithms, corrupt pastors trying to stay relevant, and many other types of poisoning.

    And conservatives say liberals are pioneers of virtue signaling…

    Imagine coming to secular AF Mass to do your little performance and then give the MA state police something other than their own corruption to focus on. You’re absolutely going to get a knock from the Federales! Enjoy preaching in prison!

    If it was the other way around, it would be on the news/talk shows for about a week about how it’s an attack on USA.
