The beginning of the end (times)
Looks like they're opening up a Creationist Museum in Kentucky. I have no clue what might let the average schoolchild know the very important difference between this and an actual natural history museum, which is I suppose the point.
It astonishes me, the zeal with which the Religious Right wishes to demolish the Enlightenment.
It's also astonishing how easily everyone looks the other way and ignores that religious fanatacism is religious fanatacism, and the people in America with the most in common with Islamofascists are the Christiofascists in our own backyards.

Well, Christofascists aren't decapitating aid workers and ramming planes into buildings, so I think your moral equivalence is a bit misplaced and hyperbolic. I still say that the people who have the most in common with radical Islamists are Europe's radical Left (the whole "Hating Jews" thing). But yeah, Creationist Museum? Stuuuuuupid. There's also a Creationist Dinosaur Theme Park in Florida.
"the people in America closest to..."
I'm certainly not saying they're exactly the same. I'm just pointing out the obvious similarities. And the irony that the people in America most likely to pin terrorism on Islam rather than, say, socio-economic factors, are also the ones most likely to align themselves with the religious extremists at home.
