Muslim Clerics are considered conservatives.
Republicans talk about protecting "freedom", except for women, gays and minorities.
I see so much down side for conservatism. Is there an "upside"?
Muslim clerics are statists....they believe....like the left, that the state should have unlimited power over the individual...that is why the left and muslims get along.....that and their mutual hatred of the West....
Conservatism.......or "Classical Liberalism" defends the rights of the individual....which is why the left and muslims hate it.....
Conservatism...Modern American conservatism.....believes in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights......and our founding document the Declaration of Independence......not one of these documents is supported by muslim clerics or the left...since all 3 limit the power of the central government......a secular all powerful government for the left....a religious all powerful government for the muslims......
Separation of powers, checks and balances, are meant to prevent both the left and muslim clerics from or achieving power .....so your post is completely wrong.....on all levels.....
I think that the neo cons envy the Muslim governments for their power to force the populations to accept their religion.
Not even close.....when you believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights you can't also believe in the left or muslim belief in an all powerful government......
The two belief systems are completely incompatible...........the left and the muslims have too much in common....the American conservative has nothing in common with them.
