Not mincing words. The Islamic powers co-exist with the Gov't in a live-let-live relationship. The Islamicists do not want ANY outside influences, Christian, individualism, liberty, etc. so it is not just a Christian thing. As long as the population is kept in line the Gov't will not interfere and the Imams do their part to keep it this way.
