I think it's a shame WW2 wasn't more like Wolfenstein 3-D. Zombie Nazis (or Nazi zombies, depending on how you look at it) are still cooler than any alternate history WW2 game to come out in the last decade.

is forcible conversion, murder, rape, marauding, etc in the name of your god not extremism?

I'm quite certain he's saying that IS extremism, but that a christian taliban would be practically the same. It's why angry militant theocracies are a bad idea.

Yes and yes. People who think that religious extremism is not a big reality in our country as well have yet to open their eyes. They are one of the most powerful influences on Washington, unfortunately.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

my point is more about his time frame than what is or isnt extremist. he mentions a progression happening over the past couple hundred years, but those things i mentioned go back to its founding.

Lol @ vagabond.
@ MrBubbles
You could say the same things about Christianity by looking into the Catholic Church's prescience in the Middle Ages and before as well as the resurgence of fundamentalism with the Calvinists and their American brethren The Puritans and later the Evangelicals.

i couldnt really make the same point, a similar point about a history of it within the faith perhaps. but for it to be the same i would have to say those things about jesus...
