An\u00a0 evangelical website speculates that King Abdullah of Jordan might be the Anti-Christ<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Another example of how Christians are allowed to interpret their scriptures in the most apocalyptic terms\u2013terms which pretty much eagerly promise Muslims, Jews and other heathens a bloody end\u2013but neocons and even mainstream observers feel they have the right to police Muslims\u2019 theological beliefs<\/a>.
\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Another interesting thing about the worldview laid out in that article is how it explicitly justifies from the outset all that Israel does as the will of God and casts Arabs and Muslims as the minions of the Devil, whom will eventually have to be exterminated (a la the \"Left Behind\" series). <\/p>\n

Given that mindset\u2013which long existed within the GOP and is no long even controversial in many quarters of American society\u2013 even the neocons\u2019 most extreme policies make perfect sense. <\/p>\n

All this talk about imposing reform on the curriculum in madrasahs in Pakistan and elsewhere.\u00a0 How about \"draining the swamp\" in our backyard, too?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
