3. Because the uproar strikes at the heart of freedom of speech, the
values of the Enlightenment and separation of Church and State.

7. It's an important issue on many levels.
Classic freedom of speech, press, religion issues. West vs. Middle East. West insensitivities. ME over-sensitivities. Hypocrisy and much much more.

10. #5. We are really worried about domestic religious loonies

Yet as early as 1994, lone journalist Frederick Clarkson warned that Dominionism "seeks to replace democracy with a theocratic elite that would govern by imposing their interpretation of ‘Biblical Law.’" And this to eliminate " . . . labor unions, civil rights laws and public schools."

As to the citizenry, "Women would be generally relegated to hearth and home. Insufficiently Christian men would be denied citizenship, perhaps executed. So severe is this theocracy that it would extend capital punishment blasphemy, heresy, adultery and homosexuality."
