But I think the main reason it appears that Liberals are "afraid" of religious politics in power is the very shady, and rife with murderous acts, history such power has. This "war on terror" could very well be looked at as an extension of religious political power campaigns of the past. (<Unintentional aliterative tongue twister ) "We are with Israel, you are against Israel, we are against you" seems to be a big part of deciding who the US puts in the Axis of Evil.
I want to buy my own island and create my own country. My economy would be based on pot farming!
