American Taliban

Maybe someone can explain to me what the difference is between American Christian fundamentalists and all other types of fundamentalists. Because I just don't see how they are all that different, just change some choice words in this story:

Today was a historic first for religion in America's civic life: For the very first time, a Hindu delivered the morning invocation in the Senate chamber — only to find the ceremony disrupted by three Christian right activists.

The three protesters, who all belong to the Christian Right anti-abortion group Operation Save America, and who apparently traveled to Washington all the way from North Carolina, interrupted by loudly asking for God's forgiveness for allowing the false prayer of a Hindu in the Senate chamber.

"Lord Jesus, forgive us father for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight," the first protester began.

"This is an abomination," he continued. "We shall have no other gods before You."

To this:

Today was a historic first for religion in Pakistan's civic life: For the very first time, a Christian delivered the morning invocation in the Parliamentary chamber — only to find the ceremony disrupted by three Muslim activists.

The three protesters, who all belong to a fundamentalist Sunni sect, and who apparently traveled to Islamabad all the way from Karachi, interrupted by loudly asking for Allah's forgiveness for allowing the false prayer of a Christian in the Parliamentary chamber.

"Forgive us for allowing a prayer of the wicked, which is an abomination in your sight," the first protester began.

"This is an abomination," he continued. "We shall have no other gods before You."
