Since RW'ers fear "radical Islamists" so much

Why did they support knocking over Saddam, who also could not stand to share power with them and actually hunted them down?

Or, are wingers so stupid that they thought, "they are all the same over there"?

3. Agreed
Didn't even occur to or matter to the PNACers that Saddam was a SECULAR tyrant.

2. beats me. Why is Bush making waves about Syria, too?
Assad hates Islamic fundamentalists as much as anyone, yet Bush seems to have a hard-on for getting rid of him. He also pissed off Turkey, which is as pro-secular as a government can get in a Muslim society. Yet he cozies up to the Saudis, who are so crazy fundamentalist, they're regarded as a nutty abomination even by other fundamentalists.

Maybe deep inside, Republicans don't really care which religion you are, as long as you're a crazy fundamentalist bigot. That seems to be the message they're sending to me.

4. They're a bunch of racist bigots

They all look the same to rethugs. The assume that any Arab or Muslim country who doesn't kowtow to the US must be an "Islamic extremist" country.
