Is the Bible Belt much different than Islamist countries?

If there is, the gap is closing fast. I mean look at Texastan trying to religify science textbooks. These people are not substantially different from our terrorist enemies in the world:

"You separate religion from your policies, contradicting the pure nature which affirms Absolute Authority to the Lord and your Creator. You flee from the embarrassing question posed to you: How is it possible for God Almighty to create His creation, grant them power over all the creatures and land, grant them all the amenities of life, and then deny them that which they are most in need of: knowledge of the laws which govern their lives?"

-- Osama bin Laden; from 'Letter to America'

The music is better

Sure. There is order.
