[but a strong Orthodox control of the Middle East is anyday better than a Moslem controlled one...]
Governance that secures the freedom of the Individual ala a 1st Amendment prohibition against state-established temporal punishments or burthens being imposed upon the Individual's relationship with their Creator is anyday better than EITHER of those.
Don't you agree?

Congratulations. You just supported the natural conclusion to Martin Luther’s doctrine of the left-hand and right-hand kingdoms.
To: TArcher
in the case of Moslems, no. What you quote is for civilised religions, not murderous philosophies like Islam
