CHRISTIAN KNIGHTS TEMPLAR ON CRUSADE
Extremists seek war of civilizations

"... efforts of fundamentalist Christian churches... (seek to) turn our armed forces into a modern-day Knights Templar, fighting infidels on behalf of the Church... (But)... When an armed man seeks to share his beliefs with you, it is not about spreading enlightenment, but about domination and control. To go into other countries with a rifle in one hand and a Bible in the other, can only create fear, resentment and backlash... Even worse, the image of the soldier-preacher fits directly into Al-Qaeda's meme that Americans are engaged in a new Crusade to destroy Islam. And to the extent that these fundamentalist churches are allowed to exert influence in our military, our enemies are proven right. Both Muslim extremists and their Christian counterparts seek to ignite a war of civilizations, a zero-sum game in which their ideology will ultimately destroy their adversaries completely..."
