I too admire Chris Floyd's writing, but even Homer nods: it just isn't so that 
"anxieties over fertility and sexuality are the chief engines driving the 
frenzied and increasingly violent fundamentalist movements now sweeping through 
the world."

That's a sentiment (un)worthy of Christopher Hitchens and his disquisition on 
Islamofascism.  In any case, I thought there was a consensus that AWARE should 
concentrate on its declared aims of opposing the US war and its attendant 
racism, while recognizing that there was a variety of views within the group on 
other issues, notably abortion.  --CGE
