Christian Nationalism

"Among liberals, there is always talk about fascism and there's a kind of agreement that you can't talk about it more publicly without sounding like a lunatic. You don't want to sound like you're comparing Bush to Hitler. We have no language to talk about the intermediate stages of this kind of thing. But there are these really unmistakable parallels to fascism, not as a government system, but to fascism in its early stages. Before fascism is a government, it's a movement. It's not born in power, it comes to power. I think it's time to talk about fascism or another word for it. Christian Nationalism is one way to talk about it. But there are things that are going on that are not normal, they're not politics usual."

The Growing Threat of Right-Wing Christians

Reactive articles regarding the Israeli maneuver in Gaza and Lebanon swarms the web nowadays. I was actually doing away from them when I was surfing a counterculture site when this came accross my eyes. I didn't take the article seriously at first until little by little i saw the point of the interviewee surfacing at each answer. The particular answer i quoted above highlights the alarm this article has brought to me. I believe this truly needs a serious examination not only by the citizens of the most powerful country in the world but also to the people influenced and affected by its policies.

Could there be any parallel to this 'Christian Nationalism' in the only Christian nation in Asia?
