I thought of one other aspect that should not be forgotten here.  Our 
form of government is just that, government.  We have separation of 
church and state.  I'll grant you that it is a weak separation, but it 
is there officially.  However, in countries were fundamentalist, radical 
Muslims have taken over, there is no separation of church and state. 
Islam is both a way of government and a faith, and there is zero 
tolerance for dissention or other beliefs.
