Evangelicals' issue: Radical Islam

By ERIC GORSKI, AP Religion Writer
42 minutes ago



Following last month's Values Voter Summit in Washington, conservative Christian power-broker Gary Bauer sent an e-mail to supporters.


He ticked off the issues dear to activists in attendance. Opposition to "abortion-on-demand" and preservation of traditional marriage led the way.

Then the one-time presidential hopeful turned his attention to a different threat, one social conservative leaders hope will shake their constituents from their apathy about the 2008 presidential race.

"The war against Islamofascism is in many respects a 'values issue,'" Bauer wrote. "That may seem like an odd statement at first glance, but, as I have often said, losing Western Civilization to this vicious enemy would be immoral."

2. Oh, why doesn't someone just shove the Christian Coalition AND the radical Islamists...
on a desert island together, and let them get on together with 'opposition to "abortion-on-demand" and preservation of traditional marriage'. While the rest of us are left free to live in the real world of the 21st century!

4. Send them all to Iran
and bring all the persecuted Iranians out. It's a win-win situation: all the religious fundies get to live together and agree on everything, and everyone who wants to drink water rather than kool aid can live freely.
