...only a facade. You can smell the disgust they feel in mouthing their new rhetoric." Sometimes it expresses itself plainly. Says Jordan: "We have noticed lately in influential mosques the imam has condemned terrorism and preached in favor of tolerance, then closed the sermon with 'O God, please destroy the Jews, the infidels and all who support them...
...problem--one that all armies have faced when confronting guerrilla forces--is that search-and-destroy missions in urban areas run the risk of losing local hearts and minds, which is the last thing the U.S. needs in Iraq. U.S. officials may say, in the words of one White House aide, "We're more than happy to have the [2004 presidential] election become a debate on whether or not it was the right decision to go to war in Iraq," but an endless drip of American casualties might knock the edge off that bluster.

The church argues that gay love is not even "remotely analogous" to heterosexual love. The Anglican Church asks a celibate, newly elected bishop in England to give up his post simply because he is gay. Even the leading Democratic candidates refuse to support equality in marriage. Senator John Kerry, who has no biological children with his current (second) wife, says marriage should be reserved for procreation, and, with few exceptions, the others toe that line too.
