His call urging students to arm themselves was met by thunderous applause from the far-right student body in attendance, which included roughly 13,000 of the 14,000-plus students who live on campus, since the three times weekly convocation is mandatory to attend, reported NBC News. Thousands more of Liberty University’s 95,000 online students also watched Falwell urge students to arm themselves.
Despite the support Falwell received from the student body, he met with backlash for his comments from others, including a Liberty University student on social media, which prompted him to take the defensive in a Twitter response.

Still, Falwell remained largely unrepentant after making the inflammatory comments and he retweeted a variety of tweets that supported his views, including one that said “SUCK IT, Muslim extremists” and also provided a link to the weapons course at Liberty University.
That apple fell right dead square under the twisted tree.
The clincher, highlighted in this report -
“Jesus said ‘Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s,’ and part of that was to go to war, protecting whatever nation was under control of the king.”

Isn't that what IS is doing, only with a minor difference, go to war for the Caliphate? Reader comments distinguishing one from the other are welcome.

So, how does Junior differ from the old man? That one is easy. He tweets.
FURTHER: Junior's been photographed with something of a beard.
Anything else worth mentioning?
