Islamofacist Jihadists!

Across the sea, into the continents of old, halfway to the east there lies nations with which contact is infrequent, trade is light and our perspectives biased. This Middle East, as you might name it, has become a turbulent land in recent times. Terrorist organizations and insurgents seek to form regimes so unpleasant and oppressive that few could survive under its harsh laws. They innocuously named it Islamism. Religion controlling the state; a form of government apparently baffling to Americans.

Yet, on the very podiums upon which candidates speak of freedom and justice, American politicians are the same who bring God into the daily discussions of lawmaking. The hallowed halls of the United States government are abound with references to God, not only for the mere symbolism but in earnest belief that it is integral to government. In the same country that speaks out fear against Islamism the constituents demand Christianism.

History has shown us time and again that human institutions holding to the belief that they are the manifestations of God's work are dangerous. The rise of secular government came about because the ability to question authority leads us to a society wherein which individuals need not fear the institution. Instead, questioning leads to a liberal and free society.

These governments as one may state, are two sides of the same coin, leading to oppression and authoritative regimes. The construction of this religious paradigm threatens the very basis of thought and expression. A people can be religious but a state cannot.
