Or maybe you haven't heard about another "Christian" gentleman called Jerry Falwell, the guy has a national TV show called the 700 club , he's the guy who told America that Katrina was Gods punishment to New Orleans for being a city comparable to the cities on the Plain ( Sodom and Gommarah)

Lets not forget to mention brother Jimmy Swaggert (cousin of Jerry Lee Lewis) he's the one who preachs on Sundays and spends the rest of the week with $10 hookers .
I wont bother to mention Americas favourite preacher , Billy Graham and his views on Jews (check the released Nixon tapes)

I guess Mormons qualify as Christians , so how about the guy recently arrested in Vegas after being on the FBIs most wanted list, for forcing young girls into polygamous marriages and sodomy

I've just checked my OED and a zealot is described as .."an uncompromising or extreme partisan, a fanatic"
ergo ...Taliban = Fanatic = Zealot .........

would be interested to hear/read your views on the latest news out of Georgia where they are trying to ban from a public library the childrens books by British writer , J K Rowling (Harry Potter series) for being too Satanic

Class......
