At Least She Made It Home Safely

I've been following this story about the British school teacher in Sudan pretty closely, and thankfully it recently had a happy ending. One thing really stood out to me, however... if this is the way people behave in a society predominated by a patriarchal fundamentalist belief system, why are Americans so eager to allow fundamentalist Christians to have such unfettered access to OUR government? Is this kind of narrow-minded reactionary persecution really what the American people want in their own country?

Take a good look, folks... each step we take to abolish the line between church and state brings us closer to this kind of society.
