In MY 'book,' ANY theocracy is bad. As the theocrats on the American right wing engage in the annual whine about the "War On Religion" (in which THEY are the sole combatants against everything not 'fundamentalist' Christian), we're treated to our national delusion that it's only 'bad' if it's in a Moslem country.

Fucking insane.
