Muslims

I mean come on, they base all of their foreign policy decisions on what they're doing
Also, I'd argue that their fundamentalism most mirrors Islamism more than any other segment of Americans does.

Definitely. And I wouldn't say their foreign policy is based on Muslims as much as it is based on a cultural caricature assigned to represent all Middle Easterners.

The idea that a religious group has control over the GOP is farcical. It's the other way around.
Indeed.  The fundies may be pulling the sleigh, but it's big money that is holding the reigns.  Sometimes the churchy people might pull the sleigh in a direction money doesn't want, but money can handle taking a non direct route to their goals.

Isn't religion the biggest cash-cow of all? But really, I think you could be right. There's probably just as much (if not more) politicking in churches as there is preaching on the campaign trail.
