The Religious Right and Neo-Wahabist Islamic-Facists
These two groups have become the new facist powers to worry about. Instead of facists like Franco, Hitler, and Musselini who all shared enough common views as to allow them to agree with each other and not focus their hatred against each other we have two groups, with power, numbers, and money who have openly declared war on each other.
Both of these groups are leading to the destruction of their parent groups through the war they have declared on one another. The Religious Right is destroying the reputation of American Christiams, portraying them as ignorant crusaders while the Neo-Wahabist Islamic-Facists are destroying the reputation of Muslims, portraying them to be Jihadists. The schisms forming among American Christiaans and Muslims grow each time one of those groups does as the other claims they will do. Since many American Christians and Muslims are smart enough to understand that the stereotypes are just that, stererotypes, but those on the fence belonging to the parent groups are more easily persuaded to join the facist elements of their larger parent group when the opposing facist side carries out another act that portrays the stereotype. For instance, before September 11 the religious right was going on doing there thing preaching hatred of non-Christians and claiming that other religions were inherently "evil" and after September 11 those American Christians who may have had the slightest bit of agreement with the religious right on their view of other religions and who weren't mentally equipped to reason their way through the propaganda of the Religious Right joined them. Then when the Religious Righ pushed for the Iraq war and lied to the American public to get us all on board for the war you see some of those Muslims who were on the fence in regards to how they felt about American Christians now see them as invaders and crusaders just as the Neo-Wahabists would have them believe.
Facism is alive and kicking and if these groups are not stopped this will lead to the next world war. The "War on Terror" will be construed as a "War on Islam" by the Neo-Wahabists and the resistance to the "War on Terror" will be construed as a Jihadism by the Religious Right and they will preach their typical "If you aren't with us you are against us!" when speaking of nations or groups that don't support their methods in the "War on Terror." We must hope that one of these groups falls out of power and falls out of favor with the population that supports them.

Ever read the Quran? I didn't think so, because if you had you'd know exactly what Islam is: a religion of hatred. It certainly isn't of peace. Here are three statements pulled straight out of their "Holy" book:
"5:51 O YOU who have attained to faith! Do not take the Jews and the christians for your allies: they are but allies of one another
Asad(5,72)
[72] and whoever of you allies himself with them becomes, verily, one of them; behold, God does not guide such evildoers.
Asad(5,73)"
"4:76 those who have attained to faith fight in the cause of God, whereas those who are bent on denying the truth fight in the cause of the powers of evil. Fight, then, against those friends of Satan: verily, Satan's guile is weak indeed!
Asad(4,90)"
"8:12 Lo! Thy Sustainer inspired the angels [to convey this His message to the believers]: "I am with you !"
Asad(8,13)
[13] [And He commanded the angels:] "And, give firmness unto those who have attained to faith [with these words from Me]:
Asad(8,14)
[14] `I shall cast terror into the hearts of those who are bent on denying the truth; strike, then, their necks, [O believers,] and strike off every one of their finger-tips!"
Are you so sure it's a stereotype? Or maybe you just didn't research their religion before you made ignorant comments about it.
No I haven't read the Quran, Middle Eastern mythology isn't my thing. Yes there is hatred contained in the Quran, I understand that without reading it, but it seems that the 3 big Middle Eastern Monotheisms are very much for hatred or intollerance in some form.
For instance I woud consider it pretty evil and hateful to kill all the first born children of a group just because those people were doing something wrong.
Exodus 11:5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts.
Intollerance of people who don't believe the same thing..I guess that is ok also.
Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
Killing all the people in a city and burning it is ok?
Judges 1:8 Now the children of Judah had fought against Jerusalem, and had taken it, and smitten it with the edge of the sword, and set the city on fire.
So stoning people to death is acceptable?
Lev 20:27 A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.
Just keep looking around, there are plenty of statements esspecially in Leviticus about killing people and torturing animals. All through Acts there are references to Jews as basically being trouble makers and how they seem to keep trying to get Paul into trouble, in one case trying to get a mob to stone him to death. The list goes on. I suppose Christians think all those things mentioned are ok to do just based on the religious texts? Nope instead I base it on what people actually do. With the exception of fundamentalists people of any religion are not going to kill for their religion. Fundamentalists and Extremists of any religion (that doesn't put an outright ban on violence) may resort to violence.
