From the BBC, Saudis lash out at Christian extremism:
One newspaper, Watani, said the international media had concentrated only on Muslim fundamentalism, forgetting that Christian fundamentalism was just as dangerous.
The paper said the influence of Christian extremists in America had increased since the attacks on New York and the Pentagon last year.
The paper said Christian fundamentalism in the US was particularly dangerous because it was capable of influencing American foreign policy to further its own interests which, the paper added, were identical with Israeli interests in the Middle East.
Another newspaper, The Saudi Gazette, said Christian fundamentalists in the US were raising what it described as “dust of hatred” about Saudi Arabia, and it called on President Bush to rein in elements whose agenda was to initiate a clash of civilizations.
Lunatic Christian fundamentalists are happy with current events. They expect armageddon any day now. This is scary, especially since Bush is one of these ‘born-again’ uber-fundamentalist Christians. Since I grew up as a Southern Baptist I can tell you that Bush really scares me. I went to a church full of ‘born-again’ hypocrites every week who treated religion like a ‘get out of jail free’ card. There’s nothing more sickening than being surrounded by insincere, stupid, creepy, self-righteous, and hateful people who think they belong to God’s special club of true believers. Growing up with religious fundamentalists can really make you feel insane. I still remember being about 11-12 and obsessed with the Rapture and Armageddon. I was terrified that the Anti-Christ would come and my family would be beheaded for being Christians while I would be branded with a ‘666’ on the forehead for not believing in God. I would often lie awake at night just absolutely petrified and anxious. I’m not sure how much I really believed in all that, but people around me were certain it is was going to happen, and it scared the crap out of me. To know Bush believes something similar is terrifying.
