Sure, the born-again general and Bush too probably sees this as somewhat of a holy war, but so what? That doesn't mean they would be doing anything differently than if they were total non-believers. Do you think the motive in Iraq is religious?

The idea that there is this large group of people secretly plotting to bring back slavery or stoning women for adultery is just plain idiotic. Now, there may be some calling for punishment of homosexuals. I sort of think that is true, but you lose credibility by making wild claims that aren't true.

Isn't there enough credible differences between the camps that we can focus on them instead of diverting arguments to wild speculations? I mean your post reminds me of the Palestianians who insist Jews secretly eat babies in ritual sacrifice. Why bring up nonsense?
