72. It's a pretty unimpressive list

Only a few nut jobs were actually calling for anything close to a theocracy. Quite a few are dead. Many are barely know to probably 99 percent of America. A significant number are simply stating opinions that some may find offensive. In short your concern that parallels exist with christian fundies to the radical muslims that want to burn a child for blasphemy and have whole communities fleeing for their lives is hardly convincing. In fact it's downright laughable if the article was not so horrible.

A complete fail.

It's somewhat amusing that the John Ashcroft quote in your link echo sentiments quite similiar to the Kennedy quote in my signature line.

Ashcroft - "Civilized people – Muslims, Christians, and Jews – all understand that the source of freedom and human dignity is the Creator."

Kennedy - "The belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." John F. Kennedy Inaugural address January 20, 1961"
