Seymour Hersh on Christian fundamentalists in the military

I don't find Hersh's claims about a 'crusaders mentality' in the U.S. army to be far-fetched at all especially when one considers Jeff Sharlet's cover story of the May 2009 Harper's entitled "Jesus Killed Mohammed: The Crusade for a Christian Military."

Also, see this earlier post with a quote from Sharlet's book The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power

"McChrystal denies claims of secret military crusade against Islam"

'11 faith-based predictions for 2011'

A new generation of Muslims will bust out of their culturally and politically isolated cocoons and passionately reclaim their voice and narratives; one that has been stolen, used, abused and hijacked by extremists, terrorists and fear-mongering propagandists. Watch out for a major cultural renaissance as a new generation of Muslim artists and storytellers grab the mic, enter the arena and speak their voice with a revived passion and purpose.

–Wajahat Ali, Muslim playwright and attorney

"Religion,

however, like art often consists of a dialogue with the past in order to find a perspective from which to view the present. Tradition provides a jumping-off point which enables men and women to engage with the perennial questions about the ultimate meaning of life."

Prominent British Muslim Assails Prejudice

Stirring a potentially explosive debate over faith and politics, the first Muslim woman to serve in the British cabinet said on Thursday that prejudice towards the country’s Islamic minority is so prevalent that it is seen by many as normal and uncontroversial and has “passed the dinner table test.”

“It seems to me that Islamophobia has now crossed the threshold of middle-class respectability,” Baroness Sayeed Warsi told an audience at the University of Leicester in the English Midlands. “For far too many people, Islamophobia is seen as a legitimate, even commendable, thing.”
