Digby is right on so many things, it feels criminal to link just to this post, but her point that extremist Christianity in this nation has as its primary goals well, quite a bit similar to other authoritarian religious extremists around the globe. The term "Christian Taliban," while hyperbolic, is out of bounds if and only if the extreme wing of evangelical Christianity shares nothing or very little in common with Islamists in Afghanistan. That test is not met.
