Dear Mr. Prashant

Happy new year greetings.

The greatest enemy of all free countries is religious fundamentalism and the countries that refuse to acknowledge separation of church and state.

What do you exactly mean by this ? I am not at all sure. In your choice of greatest enemy you are essentially broadening the field.

There are many Christian evangelists in the USA (Franklin Graham , The Tea Party etc) who say the US should be a Christian state. There are many Rabbis and politicians in Israel (Israeli Pm Mr. Netanyahu for example who almost every press conference demands that his country being recognised as the Jewish state)

So do your rant against those "he countries that refuse to acknowledge separation of church and state" include these two countries ? I would love to know your answers on the same.
