Quote by: grandpa  I think these Muslim countries illustrate the fundamental proiblem not just with religion, but with religion merged with political systems.
Gary North indicated something like this about Christianity as well:
"...let us be blunt about it: we must use the doctrine of
religious liberty to gain independence for Christian schools
until we train up a generation of people who know that there is
no religious neutrality, no neutral law, no neutral education,
and no neutral civil government. Then they will get busy in
constructing a Bible-based social, political, and religious
order which finally denies the religious liberty of the
enemies of God." ("Failure of the American Baptist Culture") Gary North - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This also illustrates why basic secular principles are so important.

Well, since it's from Wikipedia, it is not to be taken seriously. Maybe if you had cited a valid source...
Gary North (son-in-law of R. J. Rushdoony, whose Chalcedon Foundation is primarily responsible for starting the Christian Reconstructionism movement) most definitely wants Christians to take political control of the American government (and, indeed, of all governments).
