I have always thought that Muslim fundamentalists, and American Christian extremists (aka, the GOP) have more in common than they realize, from hating gays, to subjugation of women, to loathing of western liberal democracy, to denial of basic scientific tenets.
But having met innumerable numbers of decent and cool ass Muslims and Christians in my life, I wonder if it is even a question of theology. To become fundamentalist, rightwing, and conservative maybe one just has to be an insufferable asshole?
