When you mix politics with conservative religious 'dogmatic socialism' you get intractable conflict. Who the hell ever heard of a legitimized political abomination like a Sunni Party or a Shiite Party? Does George Bush think there could be such a horrific thing as a Baptist Party or a Catholic Party or a Christian-Socialist Coalition Party under any legitimate form of Republican Liberty?
Liberty can neither be established nor maintained upon or around a foundation of tyranny."As the government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian Religion,--as it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquillity of Messelmen, --and as the said States never have entered into any war or act of hostility against any Mohammedan nation, it is declared by the parties that no pretext arising from religious opinion shall ever interrupt the harmony existing between them." - Treaty of Tripoli, 1797, Article XI, agreed during George Washington's second term and later ratified under John Adams tenure.
America's Republic of Liberty was built on the political concept of Liberal Socialism vs Liberal Privatism. Religious Conservative Socialism was both universally protected and yet banned from politics specifically to prevent the only possible result, which invariably becomes Fascism. The old Imperial tyranny of Conservative-Socialist Anglican Fascism was (supposedly) abolished. In England, established Anglican Fascist (Tory) Conservatism was on the wane, and Noble-Cabal (Whig) Conservative-Privatism, supported by multi-sectarian fundamentalist Christian Fascist Conservative-Socialist 'coalition-ism' was correctly seen as the new enemy of of both Sectarian and Individual Freedom.
The Nazi party of Germany was later to capitalize upon this same unholy neo-conservative "Whig" marriage of authoritarian Conservative Privatism with authoritarian fundamentalist Conservative Christian-Socialism to seize power.
