Is that it is actually what I thought you would say.
The fear of many about this new law is that it opens up the avenue to make the US a theocracy. Which begs the question - who's religion.
I have read that there are many in the neocon far-right-wing religious movement (a small fraction of Americans) that believe the end-of-the world is coming, look forward to it, and want to help speed it up. And that this is why they want to keep things stirred up in the middle east.
It isn't too far a stretch to think that some of them might also think that a Christian vs Muslim fight would be the beginning of the end.
Like I said, I thought you would answer the way you did - I didn't see you as part of this fringe group.
