    You mean to tell me the guy whose spiritual leader, Douglas Wilson, who delivered sermons sprinkled with military-themed jokes about putting Jesus Christ first, what Jesus can accomplish through believers, repealing women’s rights, homosexuality should be a crime and that it’s the job of Christians to exercise dominion over the whole world… That guy is raising red flags now? Crusades in the middle east will continue until morale improves I guess.

    3 countries driven by religious extremism. What could get wrong? I had thought that this type of thing was well behind us. Seems history has to repeat.

      How are you surprised? No country has even banned child mutilation on religious grounds.

      Religion also gives one near total immunity from laws preventing other people being hateful regressive bigot agitators.

      In the eyes of the law the religious are the UBERMENCH above society, of course they maintain power, they’re degreed our infallible GODS beyond earthly morality or secular judgement.
