Wow, it’s like one long cliché. I’m not saying there aren’t arguable points to be made in favor of keeping religion out of the public sphere. But the who Wahabbi = Christian Right thing is so old and the comparison is so forced I’m amazed they ran the piece. I mean the comparison falls apart on so many levels. Saudi Arabia was never a secular society overtaken by religious fanatics. Wahhabism considers other forms of Islam to be illegitimate. The Ten Commandments are intended — and defended — as being ecumenical so as to include not only Protestants, but Catholics, Jews and Muslims. Again, I’m not saying you can’t have a reasonable disagreement about all of this but invoking Saudi Arabia almost automatically makes it an unreasonable disagreement.
