Not very big, as far as I know, the "extreme religious right" percentage wise, is smaller in Israel than it is the US. I am not sure about the percentage of extreme religious factions in Islam, but from their vocality and the fact that in some countries, the law of the land is the law of the religion (Sharia?), I presume that the extreme Islamic movement as a percentage of all Islam is also greater than that faction. IMHO, that whole business of extreme religious factions trying to impose religious "law" on societies, just because they happen to have a majority of the population sharing their faith, is a dangerous trend. It is not unique to any one of the three "Judea-Christian" faith. The funny thing is that the same elements that today are so extreme, were once staunchly against the formation of the state of Israel, under, the religious tenet that until the Messiah comes, there should not be an attempt to create a Jewish state. It is not a trend unique to the Israeli society, and I think it took a lot of its "moral" strength from our own home bred "Christian coalition". Zeev
