Disturbing parallel with Christian Coalition

Submitted by Michael M. (United States), Sep 26, 2004 at 02:18

Thank you, Dr. Pipes, for helping to reveal those seeking the establishment of Islamic theocracy in the US. Everyone who values freedom should pay close attention.

However, I am also appalled by similar statements from the Christian Coalition, as reported by the AP Wire service today, in exhorting Christians to push for their own agenda in the elections:

'"Never allow the enemy to block you," [Christian Coalition national field coordinator Bill] Thomson urged them. "Get around them, run over the top of them, destroy them — whatever you need to do so that God's word is the word that is being practiced in Congress, town halls and state legislatures."'

Is there much difference between these two movements?
