Second opinion: this guy is insane, right? I mean, why else would you adopt the acronym SANE for your hatemongering mission "to map every mosque and Islamic day school in America and to index the Shari'a threat level

America is seriously getting fucked up... looking at things now, we persecute out most successful and fear anything that is different (quite contradictory to a land that is supposed to covet opportunity and freedom, respectively). What bothers me, is this is not just the Bush administration (incompetent as they are), its a national mindset. I've honestly almost lost all will to vote. We are forced to choose between two 'prepackaged' sides: the islam-hating, "my grampw wazunt no ape" (as you so eloquently put)right wingers who at least value american business, and the hippie liberal everyone is entitled to everything without working for it and, oh yeah, Wal-Mart is the devil lefters. While there are varying degrees of those sides (like the rather millitant 'gentlemen' you mentioned), both are national mindsets

* The parallel isn't between evangelical christianity and jihadism; rather, as noted above, all evangelical ideologies (secular western democracy included) are similar insofar as they would ideally like the whole world agreeing with them. The difference is that some of these ideologies advocate the use of force in this matter

>>I would say that the use of force is almost the difference between night and day.
Oh, for sure! I was speaking in the broadest of terms.

As to Arkansas this winter: tentative plans at this stage to stop over in the States in January before continuing on to Germany. Yay for corporate travelperks!
