Neither conservatives nor conservative extremism are limited to the U.S., and certainly not religious bigotry. Long before the Americas were discovered, blood had already been flowing in the ME for thousands of years. It is a cradle of "civilization," after all. People have lived and died continuously where Damascus is now for 5000 years.

Reality is, around the globe in probably 150 nations the new billionaire classes are encouraging and using people's worst character and intellectual weaknesses to inflame them in their service. To tear down their own governments so new, very bad ones can replace them.
