When religion is used to construct a black and white worldview, such an oversimplification can spawn radical ideologies, as the extremist evangelical fringes of Christianity and Islam have proven. Mainstream Muslims and Christians have expressed great alarm at the President?s closeness to the Christian Right?who voted in their millions for President Bush?s re-election?and particularly at evangelical leaders such as Reverend Franklin Graham, who sees Islam and Christianity destined ?to fight each other until the second coming of Christ.?
With God on Our Side provides a critique of the neo-conservative movement and explores the nature of their unholy alliance with the evangelical Christian Right. It examines the political consequences of this renewed evangelism in relation to Israel and the impact for peace in the Middle-East. It also attempts to understand the current manifestations of Muslim extremism in the world.
