The war started in our schools when the secular humanists took over and are winning today. I'm not really involved in the argument which I see on FR on these types of post but don't really understand your rationale of yours trying to compare a war with Islam with letting parents having local control over their schools. How are you fighting the war on Islam, the institution of marriage and big government?
How are you fighting the war on Islam, the institution of marriage and big government? By supporting candidates that further those aims, by supporting the troops with donations, and by raising hell with the media every chance I get over the growth of government.

And was utterly lost when religious leaders didn't accept the obvious and compliment the school's teaching of evolution with creation as a compatible philosphy. Time is relative, a day for God can be millions upon millions upon millions of our world, this is proven fact. Fossil record and experimentation support evolution and yet evolution is not imcompatible with creationism, indeed Genesis is a remarkable telling of the big bang and the evolution which followed.
The fundamentalist creationists are no better than the people who pursecuted Galeleo despite the evidience because they wanted to bury their hand in the sand and pretend the universe rotated around the Earth all the while ignoring the sheer immensity and power of God's handiwork.
The universe is so vast, so incredible from the impossibly small to the incomprehensably large that it's intimidating to say the least to try and take it all in, but to deny the greater glory of creation that evolution reveals is to diminish not only God's great work but it is a diminishment of ourselves as well.
