<<<Be careful what you wish for; you might get it.>>> You put my point so much more succinctly than I did. Vouchers will permit many who are not now disposed, or able, to pay for private schools to found private religious schools for their own faithful. Muslim schools will proliferate greatly (even more than those of other faiths, would be my guess, but it's only, of course, a guess) as will those of other faiths. <<<It is no coincidence that the only current theocracies are Islamic.>>> I think, though, that it is not only Muslims who would impose theocracies elsewhere, if they had their way. You may disagree with this, but I see as absolutely theocratic in nature the position taken by a number of those I have met on SI that RU486 should be forbidden to American citizens and that all American women should be forced, against their will, by the power of the state, to gestate to term any fertilized ovum, even the zygote of a rapist, even that of an incestuous rape. Allah justifies many cruelties by zealots, and, in the minds of zealots, so can Jesus.
