> But in the US we have too many Christian fundamentalist pointing fingers at the horrors of Islamic fundamentalism If your political opponents speak the truth, you still shouldn't lie! If you do, you are the one who actually motivate otherwise moderate voters to vote for those who actually speak the truth, even if their hidden (or less visible) goals are much worse. People still don't want being too openly lied. > I don't want American Christians to take us where Islam went 750 years ago. Well there are already enough (enough to be dangerous for the whole world, again because of the influence and money, just like Saudis and other rich entities in Islam world) American Christians that are anyway at least 350 years behind Europe with their ideas, denying effectively everything that the science discovered since Galileo: that's how much they have to deny to be able to claim that the Earth exists only 6000 years. As far as I understand, any European Christian believer that claims something like that got his Kool Aid from across the Atlantic. If Ataturk would be alive today in the US, he would be declared by the right and as the left atheistic extremist for enforcing secularism and by the left as the pure right extremist for trying to limit the unquestioned expansion of influence of the political Islam. Awful, as he achieved almost 100 years ago what today in the US looks impossible only because of such partisan thinking like the one you displayed: "but the other side says that, then we can't, even if it's true." Really?
