Brian: how does support for Israel against Lebanon equal belief in the ability to trigger Christ's return?



At the moment, Islam, unlike every other world religion, has the absolute wacko fundamentalists firmly in charge. It's a shameful thing, so to mitigate that shame, one looks for comparison to the other religions, citing their absolute wacko fundamentalists. It makes the whole thing seem less shameful.

Then again, only in Islam are the fundamentalists firmly in charge.

Still it must be a hard thing to come to terms with, like waking up one day and finding one's culture run by an Odin-cult seeking Ragnarok.
