Lets start there. If you are not aware of the religious underpinnings of the ruling party you have not been paying attention. You need to do some homework.
When the administration passes a law which permits the torture and indefinite detention of 'illegal enemy combatants' I take that personally. I assume, perhaps you don't, that what is being done, legally for now, to those already within the american gulag will be done to me when my time comes. I do not see a vast separation between Khalid Sheik Mohammad and myself. I listen to the rhetoric spewed forth from the propaganda machine, the drone that claims that we are doing Gods work in our Holy War On Terror, and that those opposed to this war are aiding the enemy. "A vote for a Democrat is a vote for bin laden." I believe that they believe this. They are on a mission from god and they view you and me as the enemy just as much as they view the Iraqi resistence as the enemy.
