Seriously, that's like me asking "what's the difference between Ward Churchill(professor who compared 9/11 victims to nazis) and the average center-left American?".
No that would be the same had I asked "whats the difference between Pat Robertson and the average moderate Christian."
Further can you cite the comparison of nazis to 9/11 victims? If I recall correctly he attempted to justify the 9/11 attacks by looking at the average Middle eastern Muslim's point of view. I personally could care less what a powerless Communist in Colorado thinks he has no power. He isn't on a so called "Family Channel" on television and plays a major role in American politics.
No I'd say that the average American liberal doesn't hold the views of Churchill's politics. Infact I'd say that if the average American liberal held Churchill's politics the native American community wouldn't be treated like it is and was.
Conservative Muslims and Conservative Christians differ little from each other other than the name of the religion they pretend to advocate for.
Only in their eyes. Just like when Conservative Christians scream against intolerance against "Christianity" when someone critisizes them.
Conservative Muslims in the United States would probably be attempting a power grab if they had a remote chance of not being crushed. Look at Europe where Conservative Muslims essentially did just have a violent power grab.
I have no problem with the idea of evangelicalism nor with orthodoxism (which are the two major groupings of traditionalism in religion). Do I have a problem with the "Evangelical Movement" yes. There are sane people within the movement who truely want to bring the word of God to as many people as they can. When conversion = eternal life in heaven and failing to convert is eternal torture and hellfire I think it is a positive for people to be evangelical. Infact I'd say that it is clearly the more moral position when compared to orthodoxy.
However the "Evangelical Movement" clearly has scary religious and political leadership. Why? Because it isn't about bringing people to their way of thinking religiously anymore. It is about using the government to force their way of thinking on everyone. There is a segment of the evangelical movement who while not being mainstream are not the vile people that are represented by Pat Robertson/Jerry Falwell/George W Bush theocrats but they are infact a minority.
