It's similar to the old Moral Equivalence. In Muslim countries, most people take their religion seriously. In America, most people take their religion seriously. Therefore, the US is a lot like the Islamofascists.

Of course, the Muslims like to stone pregnant women, behead artists, and blow themselves up while standing next to women and children. In America, Chrisitians help at food banks, travel to foreign countries with food and medical assistance, and provide shelter and counseling to people in trouble. The Christian approach vs the Muslim approach seems almost identical to writers on the Left.

As a Christian, I'm uneasy with some of the characterizations I'm seeing post-election.

I am not at war with secular Americans. Nor do I think Christians are the only Americans who try to live by "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you". I flinch when I see the map of Canada and assorted Blue States divided and then the rest of the U.S. called "Jesusland".

I am grateful beyond words that President Bush was re-elected, and have been celebrating in various ways since last Tuesday. I hope those of us who worked for and voted for his re-election don't become as pompous and self-righteous as did so many who opposed us.

Almost, but not quite. They will offer excuses for the Muslim approach, while only condemning the Christian approach, unless it is willing to forgo its principles to accommodate Leftist ideologies & causes.
