Fundamentally Wrong
Why does western left liberal rhetoric in effect support Islamic fundamentalists? Its because they are more afraid of Christian fundamentalists than they are of Islamic fundamentalists. They are more afraid of Bush than they are Ahmadinejad. They have no real affection for Islamists. They just hate Bush more.
Why are they more afraid of Christian fundamentalists than Islamic fundamentalists? Because the Islamic fundamentalists run backward, 3rd world countries and have pitiful excuses for militaries. On the other hand, the Christian fundamentalists (i.e. Bush & Co.) run the most powerful country in the world with the strongest military in the world. They hate the fundamentalists they believe have the most power and that's the U.S. under Bush.
They are mistaken of course. With the inevitable exception of a few nutcases, Christian fundamentalist are fundamentally impotent. Christian fundamentalism was tamed in the protestant reformation and Christians are only Christians for a few hours on Sunday mornings. When is the last time you heard of a Christian fundamentalist beheading someone?
Reality check for Western left liberals: get some perspective. Christian fundamentalists have virtually no chance of turning the U.S. into a bloodthirsty theocracy akin to those in the middle east. Islam is our real enemy, not Bush and the Chrisitian fundamentalists.
