Islamic Fundamentalist or "Christian" Social Conservative? Can you tell?

[ProfessionalLeftist]

Spot the difference between the Christian social conservatives and the Islamic fundamentalists.

This week, Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock became the latest in a string of Republicans to say really, really stupid things about women while campaigning for office in 2012. In a debate with Democratic opponent Joe Donnelly, Mourdock sought to explain his abortion stance by saying that “even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that is something that God intended to happen.” Prior to that, Pennsylvania Senate candidate Tom Smith compared rape to having a baby out of wedlock, saying if you “put yourself in a father’s situation” it’s a similar kind of thing. And we all remember Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin telling an interviewer “if it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

What do all these men have in common aside from the fact that they are GOP standard-bearers for the U.S. Senate? To one degree or another, they are Christian fundamentalists.
The sheer number of these types of quotes that we’ve seen in 2012 got us wondering: Who says more antiquated things about women and families, Christian fundamentalists or Islamic fundamentalists? Here are nine stupid, backward, and often misogynistic quotes from nine different Islamic fundamentalist and Christian social conservative leaders. See if you can spot which one is which:

"Bring up your daughters with manners, otherwise they're going to be divorced in the first week of their marriage."

Islamic Fundamentalist ---OR--- Social Conservative

1. Virtually indistinguishable.

Fundamentalism in ANY religion is a cancer.

[Teamster Jeff]

2. They are the same yet hate each other

and both groups don't understand what irony is.

3. The GOP has sold their soul to fundamentalist which will haunt them.

The fundamentalist was unable to grip this nation and then went to GOP who needed votes to tilt the voting results in their favor and the GOP does not have the will to stand the fundamentalist down. If the remarks coming out is the best education the crazy candidates have then we don't need them in places of authority. When Newt started talking about sharia laws some years ago I could not believe it would happen and the more the crazy laws are coming in different states o am convinced sharia law will rule us in a few years unless someone steps up to the plate and stops this crap.

5. I recently commented that if Romney won't stand up to the American Taliban...

....what makes anyone think he'll stand up to any Taliban anywhere else? He won't.

[Thinkingabout]

8. Romney is part of the American Taliban

The Mormon religion is very similar to Islam religion. We also have the fundamentalist which are running game like the Taliban, they want to bury women in "laws" which suit their sick idea of control.

10. +1

That would explain it, as much as he tries to hide it.

4. I missed one!

"[A girl] can read a useful book, prepare her homework, join a charity, and spend her time doing things that are useful to her in this world and the world to come, instead of thinking about satisfying her urges."
– Yusuf al-Qaradhawi, an Egyptian Islamic theologian on the risks of female masturbation in a lecture for Qatar TV

Thought it would be a "Social Conservative."

And why are we using the term "Social Conservative?" Why not use the call it for what it is? "Christian Fundamentalist"

"Islamic Fundamentalist" vs. "Christian Fundamentalist"

[Angry Dragon]

6. The spelling is different .......... nothing else

[meow2u3]

7. There IS no difference between Islamic Fundies and Christianist fundies

except for the religion they identify with.

They're virtually identical in their rank misogyny, intolerance of dissent, and violent-mindedness.

[Initech]

9. I've been saying for years that our religious fundamentalists are no better than the ones we're fightin
