Your posts tell me that you are unwilling to acknowledge that the gripe many have is with Neocon POLICIES
and has nothing to do with religion.
JMHO
I have an old habit: I do not acknowledge what is not true.
Groupthink neocon players forming US strategy of preemptive war (invasions without provocation) include:
Richard Perle, Eliot Abrams, Robert Kagan and William Kristol.....Michael Ledeen of the American Enterprise Institute.......former CIA Director James Woolsey; Bill Bennett (Catholic author of Book of Virtues); Frank Gaffney; Protestants Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and Fred Barnes.........plus others too numerous to mention.
Many neocons---who invariably end up in highly visible positions of influence in the US government-----trace their status back to Prof Leo Strauss (U of Chicago).
Paul Wolfowitz (former US Ambassador to Indonesia, US Deputy Secy of Defense, President of the World Bank) got his PhD under Strauss. Strauss authored "Thoughts on Machiavelli"---NOT a condemnation of the evil Machiavelli philosophy on how rulers get power by manipulating the little people.
.........modern-day neocons emanate from the far left---they were Trotskyites who left the Commies when Stalin assasinated their hero...........
===========================================
The godfather of modern-day neo-conservatism is Irving Kristol, Billy Kristol's daddy, who set the stage in 1983 with his publication "Reflections of a Neoconservative."
Daddy Kristol (who was Giuliani's foreign policy advisor) notably said, "The historical task and political purpose of neoconservatism is.....to convert the Republican Party and American conservatism in general, against their respective wills, into a new kind of conservative politics suitable to governing a modern democracy."
