Religious extremism is epidemic.
Is the anti-masturbation drive of a O'Donnell any less extreme than some of the Islamic whacks opinions about human sexuality?
Are the Muslim bombers any less brutal than the Jewish clerics calling for the eradication of all Palestinians? Are either less deadly than the American Christians who call for bombing Women's Health Clinics or for the murder of Gays?
Under the umbrella of all this ramped up hatred, lies the fact the we are losing the Class War; its pawns doing the dirty work of ensuring Peace Talks will not work, ensuring Populist ideas are disparaged, and most of all keeping the People of the Country and the World too divided to notice what has been done to them.
