The mobs in the US are not after disabled 11 year olds for blasphemy. Please read the word "fundamentalism".
This mob would like to have the US ruled by one faith, probably not Mormonism, and all kinds of behaviour proscribed and forbidden and persecuted and prosecuted. New Gingrich addresses Ralph Reed's Faith and Freedom Coalition in Tampa Sunday:
The Faith & Freedom Celebration was an event produced by Ralph Reed's Faith & Freedom Coalition that in addition to Reed, featured Newt Gingrich; Phyllis Schlafly, the 88-year-old conservative political commentator gamely addressed the audience; Mike Huckabee; and Texas U.S. Senate GOP nominee, Ted Cruz.
Cruz, a 41-year-old Cuban-American conservative, was by far the most effective speaker on stage. He's young, but it's easy to see why he turns on the conservative base — he's energetically conservative.
He invoked Tropical Storm/Hurricane Isaac saying he was blessed — this was a heavily religious affair — and that "We can be thankful for Hurricane Isaac. If nothing else, it kept Joe Biden away." These comments elicited huge cheers from the audience. {...}
Cruz called ObamaCare an "abomination," blasted President Obama for being against traditional marriage, and said that under the current administration, freedom was under assault.
