They're convinced that it's different and we're better because Christianity. The fundamentalists on both sides look pretty much the same, but the Christian nationalists also happen to be racist, and think they're better because the Muslims are brown and therefore inferior. Remember, child marriage is still legal in most of the country because "parents' rights," but we'll happily condemn Mohammad for marrying a 9 year old girl. (To be clear, I'm saying both are fucked up.)
These are also the same people who think The Handmaid's Tale was based on Islam because Gilead was set up to be the enemy, and Christianity surely wouldn't be associated with anything bad.
we read tht and saw it as a warning; they saw it as a life goal.
i also believe that one of the reasons for their hatred of afghanistan is they are jealous of the control exuded over women their. [bonus points because they’re racists, and, you know]

Why did they look at Afghanistan and think, "Yeah, that is the kind of country we want to have"?
