The "weird" part is how the progressives seem to wish to ally
themselves with the Jihadists in order to prevent their imagined
"Christist Theocratic Take overy". The only reason that I can puzzle
out, is that the Progressives, not being too astute students of
history or much anything else for that matter, seem to believe that
the Mullahs of Iran, or the Immans behind the Muslim Brotherhood, are
just like the Episcopalians, only in more colorful ethnic clothing.
Wrong they are.

And now, Progressives are petitioning the Un to ask the another
third world country to conform to their western standards of behavior,
calling upon the Ansar Dine to not follow their own colorful customs,
but those of the decadent westerners, and save the hisotrical sites in
Timbuktu.

Yes but with people like Rick Santorum, who come right out and say
they want the law based on THEIR religion, Christianity, I think lots
of people want "sharia" style law in the US.

Funny, but I've never met a progressive who agrees with Sharia law.

Me neither. But I've seen a lot of progressives who seem a lot less
upset by it than they are by some imaginary threat of a Christian theocracy.

Sharia law is no threat to the US. But Dominionism is very real. There are
many current politicians, all Republicans, who support various levels of a
Christian theocracy.

Yep. If the US ever becomes a Christian theocracy, look for all the
different Christian cults to battle it out over which brand of Christianity
gets to rule the country. Be careful what you wish for, Repubs.

Catholics would be losing, too, if most immigrants were not already
Catholic.
