I'd argue it'd be the exact same. Radicalism needs an ideology to cling to and it doesn't matter which holy book it comes from.
Second million dollar question. What will the US look like in 20 years? 50 years? With the rise of the Tea Party, racial and political intolerance, the religious right, anti-intellectualism and a growing trend of rejecting science in favour of dogma, could America become a hotbed of Christian extremists ready to attack those that don't share their zeal?
