A Christianist For The Islamists

Who is Mark Siljander? Dinesh D'Souza's dream Republican, a creature of the Christianist right, a lover of Mel Gibson, a devoted enemy of the gays ... and enmeshed in funding Islamist terror:

As the veteran-diplomat-turned-amateur-scholar implied, once the original teachings of the two religions are properly understood, the differences between them are no greater than the differences between the multitude of different Christian denominations.

Siljander touted these notions as "paradigm crashing," and said he hopes they will "create a movement, a dynamic" resulting in small groups throughout both the Christian and Muslim worlds who will meet to study these ideas and advance them.

It all makes sense in a sick way, doesn't it?
