Reply #1: A religious culture war is also taking place

all over this country. At our state prayer breakfast, Jewish, Muslims, and non-fundamentalist religious leaders refused to show up because the main speaker (preacher) was a converted Christian whose mission is now to go out and convert all Muslims to Christianity.

They felt the speaker was intolerant so they boycotted the breakfast. The breakfast ended up being attended only by the religious right who rallied around the speaker when he said gays were an abomination.
