What Kind of Fundamentalism?

I somehow missed this in 2009:  Juan Cole's article about how similar Sarah Palin's views are to Muslim extremists.  It is the height of hypocrisy for someone to decry Islam and some of the extremist views that exist, only to insist on similarly extreme Christian views.  But then, most politicians rarely let facts stand in their way.  In a similar vein, Cole's post today on Palin and Sharia is also worth reading.
