Is There An Islamist Attitude In The U.S.?

Not to forget the Westboro Baptist Church which demonstrates at funerals of deceased US military, saying that God killed them because the US tolerates gays. This might be the most unpopular group in the whole country. In a way its nice they're there, they show people the depth and insanity of prejudice. In fact, in San Diego when a human rights ordinance was being considered by the city council, grotesque testimony by anti gay witnesses pushed the ordinance through; they proved protection necessary.

The US had the misfortune to have been founded by the pilgrims, to whom everything fun and human was sin. Thats the original public morality and you see it in everything from Prohibition to the War On Drugs to obscenity laws to prostitution laws and of course making a moral issue out of swimwear. And its a free country.

Disgraceful homophobia also stirred up by government in Uganda
(its origin? - way back to British colonial law)
India is thankfully more enlightened.
Off topic however - CD's post was Islam and the USA , not worldwide
muscular Christianity.
