This is from an email from a US resident who posts under the name of The Atheist Camel.

"I do not need convincing of the threat Islam represents to Europe and potentially the US. However, Europe is not the US. We have people here, Christians, who are distorting our Constitution for religious purposes … people at the highest levels of the Judiciary and Legislative Branches that hold first allegiance to their God and Bible and second to the Constitution.

Laws are being passed in states making official prayer days; a Supreme Court decision declared corporations have religious rights- just like individuals- that permit them to refuse providing contraception coverage to their employees; Justice Thomas of the Supreme Court says he believes the states are allowed to set up their own state religions. There are tons more such examples of religious activism at state levels. All are frightening.

Add to that a 20-25% vocal and armed minority of fundamentalist Right Wing Christian extremist nutters, FOX News devotees one and all, largely itching for a reason to instigate armed rebellion, and the danger of fundamentalist Christian fanaticism to this nation becomes magnified exponentially.

We have 0.8% Muslims in the US. Compare that to the UK at almost 5%, France at 10% and other European nations in high single or low double digits. They are nations who have largely thrown off Xtian fanaticism. Their greatest threat now is the growing Muslim population that seeks not to assimilate but to displace European culture. But, the US is still THE focal point of Christian fanaticism in the Industrialized World. We still have to battle that which has already been largely defeated overseas. That is a fact, pure and simple.

SO… while I appreciate the threat that is Islam to the US and the world as a whole, the clear and MOST PRESENT danger to the US are far Right Christian fanatics, of whom there are five on our Supreme Court appointed for life, dozens more in elected positions, millions roaming the streets.

Speaking as an American and with all due respect to your knowledge of my country - the threat of a Christian controlled Executive branch, coupled with the Legislative and Judicial branches that they currently control is the greatest danger to secular freedoms in the United States, at least for the immediate future.

I held that position when we first met ... I maintain it now."

I am also an American and agree with the above.

david f, you sprout a lot of bigoted nonsense from ignorance, as if anyone would believe your rantings.

PROPOSAL: If parents decide to privately educate their children and it is not financed by the Government; then parents should be allowed to deduct such expenses from their taxable income. My daughter pays just over $10,000 each year in school fees this would rise to about $20,000 p/a if parents funded the lot. This would reduce her taxable income substantially, this might be worth a look. That way parents of private schools do not pay tax that would fund public schools and parents of children attending Public schools would be responsible for their children's education. Sounds Fair!

Dear Josephus,

Insults are unnecessary. One can disagree and be civil. One can disagree and not be civil. In general I prefer civility.

david f

your pathetic ranting is not going to make God go away. You have a twisted view of history and if you thought just for a moment, if the idiotic Europeans and especially the British had not spent so much time trashing and misrepresenting Christ they would not have the muslim terrorist problem they have. It is secular fools who ignored any commonsense who have produced the probblem.And yes the church has been half the problem especially when they jump into bed trying to appease the god deniers with pseudo science and socialistic garbage.

You seem paranoid that somehow the right to kill the unborn, promote pornography and perverted lifestlyes ( all secular dogmas) is under threat. If you have not worked it out yet it is obvious that God is not about to dissappear. Many of the dogmas you hold dear to will be done away with(where they belong) but His word will remain forever.
