Is the OP serious? Serious as a panic attack. ---

With the proper breeding techniques and a ratio of say, ten females to each male, I would guess that they could then work their way back to the present Gross National Product within say, twenty years. ---

> [@stpauler](#): > > [Would that mean that my credit card and home mortgage rates would drop to 0%?](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_banking) Because that would be awesome. Actually, if the Christians do turn the U.S.A. into a theocracy, we could also have this result, as the OT also prohibits usury, or the charging of _any_ amount of interest on loans (that’s the OT definition of usury). But something tells me that Christians are not interested in enforcing that part of the OT, as it’s not the part about hating gays. ---

Yeah, it’s perfectly easy to imagine that a group that makes up less than 1% of America’s population and who most Americans regard as being on the same moral level as pedophiles and Nazis would be able to gain enough political influence and power to take over the country and impose Sharia law. ---
