evangelical protestantism was among the fastest-growing social movements in the southern hemisphere over the past 20 years---the information i am thinking of (which i have notes about somewhere, but would have to find again...) is maybe 5 years old, but the numbers were amazing.
i had this idea at one point that you could link the shift into a somewhat more militant posture on the part of islam in certain areas to the suddent expansion of the evangelical reach---a factor that tends for whatever reason to be filtered out of american medialogic maybe because protestant ideology is like dirt here in that you walk on it all the time without giving it particular notice.
