SRS....I think you will find that Islamists and Evangelical Christians have more in common than you appear to think.

You misunderstood my statement, Ake. I'm not surprised, because you have so many preconceptions about Americans.

I said And just as the undifferentiated sea of muslim faces seems to scare many Western Europe and New World types, many in the muslim world find the undifferentiated face of American modern evangelical christianity just as frightening.

I didn't say anything about what they had in common or not, I said (in essence) that cultures aren't able to look at the Other and differentiate the players. This means that I understand that not all christians and not all muslims are alike each other in their respective groups. But I do think that the zealots in each group are very similar to other zealots with their dogma as they proscribe for the rest of the world.
