Is it really possible to separate politics and religion? Things are getting pretty hectic for both politicians and religious leaders alike. Leaders of Christianity are beginning to panic as things escalate. The pope was the first to shake in his boots as Saddam ceaselessly plays the 'non-muslim world against islam' tune. Unlike most religions Islam still has full control over the governance of some sovereign states where Islamic law is state law. Other religions? probably Jewish Israel alone and things there have been rather 'elephant'. The stakes are high. A likely scenario: Bush starts to kick ass in Iraq, radical islamic states gang up and support Saddam (who doesn't give a sh*t about religion anyway), this draws in the Jewish then christians then the rest of the other religious doctrines as they become targets and it ends up being an un-Holy war. Where does that leave the non-mainstream faiths and cults? Well, they exploit the chaos and get sponsored by rogue states like North Korea and try to seek some attention. Then we got ourselves a bloody third world war that only religious dominance can put an end to.
