The CC structure has plans to stay on top, and can achieve their goals through legislation and power of the pulpit.
Al Q= Outcasted, desperate
CC etc.= In power, has time to do what they want through more benign channels.

I don't believe Al Q is outcasted as the support for Bin Laden in certain areas of the Muslim world is massive. Swaggart's sphere of influence is far smaller and less likely to mobilize on any sort of large scale.
I have little doubt that Al Q has a long term survival goal as they can not possibly expect their goals to be met in the short term.
You're again insinuating that Swaggert is representative of the Republican party. I disagree completely just as I don't think Michael Moore is a good example of the Democratic party. They each hold a certain sway in a small area of their parties but neither can hope to push the national tenor significantly toward their distorted views.
