The Ratio

Juan Cole has an interesting post pointing out the similarities between Islamic Fundies and Republican Christian Fundies in the context of the Schiavo Case. I've felt for a long time that the Christian Fundies and the Islamic Fundies have more in common than they have differences, but thats not anything you don't know already I'm sure. It just highlights the extent to which "Culture of Life" talk is a cover for good old-fashioned Theocracy. I know I'm just stating the obvious but where is the concern for the living in the "Culture of Life." Are they really concerned about fetuses or about imposing their religion and ultimately the dominion of their religion over the world.
