Well, I know your great shibboleth that you're going on about is Christianity. But that poses a negligable threat.

ISLAM, on the other hand, is a whole lot closer to what you're talking about, because it's much, MUCH more than a religion. ALL things are subordinated to their silly little fairy tale, while Christianity reserves its beliefs for the spiritual sphere. Islam has no such compartmentilization.

But I bet that isn't what you wanted to talk about, is it?

Well, rave on about the grave threat posed by the Religious Right, as that seems to be the only thing that hides under YOUR bed.
