Whether or not a person agrees with the politics involved, "American Taliban" is in fact used to refer to Fundamentalist/Neoconservative Americans as outlined in this article. Autarkeia 21:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not currently a worthwhile article

1. "American Taliban" is not "generally" used to reference American Neoconservatives and Fundamentalists. I have never heard that use, and ran across this article searching for the one on John Walker Lindh.
2. I looked at the references, and they are opinion articles, titled that way for effect, and not out of "general" use. One of them doesn't even refer to the same things, instead talking about extremist hate groups and possible sources of terrorism in the US.

I'm reverting it back to the redirect. If someone can come up with something more NPOV, that's fine. Sxeptomaniac 21:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Maybe disambig to John Walker Lindh and the Christian right, while mentioning it as a derogatory term for the latter? Birdboy2000 00:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Since the left-wing POV has introduced a photograph from TomPaine.com, and a picture is worth a thousand words, I've introduced a few hundred words from LewRockwell.com to balance that photo and restore NPOV. Hope you don't mind. Kindest regards, as always -- BryanFromPalatine 19:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
