"So which part don't you understand? "
I did understand the part about the Evangelicals, I was actually going to omit that part, I probably should have. I didn't understand what he was talking about re: a religious revival on the eve of the 2004 election. I know it is just an aside, and may have been mangled in some way. Like you I wondered did he mean the Islamofacist "religious" wave; or was it something else. Plus he talks about this vague event as happening "on the eve" of something that happened exactly 1 month ago. If it's OBL and co, they've been at it for a while longer than that; ditto the American Evangelical revival. So, I'm sorry, I still don't know what the guy is referring to. MAYBE he is talking about the Christian revival that is about to sweep Europe as they realize it is the ONLY thing that will save their culture from destruction by the Muslim terrorists and totalitarians, maybe he's just far sighted.

I believe the "religious revival" he was referring to was China and Africa, both of which have seen pretty huge revivals in Christianity lately.
China's is truly impressive, actually. Yes, the Christian percentage of the population is still a minority, but looking at the trend line is downright shocking, considering that professing such faith there is a virtual invitation for the government to come to your house and crack your skull open. I'm unsure as to whether it's a legitimate revival or a bunch of always-weres coming out of the closet, but I'm inclined to believe it's both, and eiher way it's definetly noteworthy at this point in history.
