2011 the political religious combustion

Some topics to chew over in your mind, if you're so inclined to reflect on that soon-to-be-ignited (if not already burning) collision in the title above.

As a label, it is at least as loaded with implications as sharia law is for Islam.

Finally a commnet:  (paraphrasing)  Sitting inside (going to) church makes someone a Christian / attending services at a mosque makes someone a Muslim, / as much as sitting inside a garage makes you a car.
