The Muslim religion radicalizes more American Christian conservatives than it does Muslims.

Why else are they so ready to eliminate freedom of religion, due process and the search and seizure laws?

1. Da Fuck did I just read?

So your saying "The Muslim religion" is the only religion that can be radicalized? Um, no the "Christian" right are just as radicalized as radical Muslims. All those would be terrorists attack abortion clinics in the name of Blond Haired Blue Eye Jesus Christ. They don't just want to eliminate freedom of religion to stop "Arabs" but also to stop other Christians who don't subscribe to their particular extremist faction of Christianity.

2. Fear of Muslims radicalizes more Christians than being Muslims radicalizes Muslims.

that's my point here.

3. I think you misread the OP.

It mentions that Islam radicalizes Christians more than it does Muslims.

Where some Christians become radicalized due to their fear of Islam, anything related or sounds like it.
Saying that there might be more Christian radicals than Muslims due to Islam.

Which pretty much is your point that the "'Christian' right are just as radicalized as radical Muslims."

I don't have much of an opinion on this one since I have no hard numbers to back up that assertion. So, I am just going to clear up the possible misunderstanding and go my merry way.

5. I hadn't thought of it that way

But it's probably true.

7. Stupid Islamophilic nonsense, I'm afraid.

At any centile from right to left, Muslims are far more right-wing than American Christians.

That is to say, if you pick 100 Muslims from around the world and 100 Christians from America, ask them questions about things like women's rights, gay rights, abortion, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, the use of violence to promote religion, and so on, many of the Muslims will give more liberal answers than many of the Christians, but the nth most liberal Muslim will be much, much less liberal than the nth most liberal Christian, especially in the middle of the lineup.

Just because conservatives want you to believe that Islam is a major cause of horrible attitudes on all sorts of issues doesn't mean it isn't true, unfortunately. Sometimes the enemy of my enemy is even worse than my enemy.
