During an appearance in 1986 on CNN`s Crossfire: The biggest threat to America today is not Communism. It`s the turning of this country into a Fascist Theocracy and everything that`s happened during the Reagan Administration has put us right down that pipe!
- Frank ZappaNo matter how many troops we have in place or how long they stay, we cannot impose a parliamentary democracy there any more than the insurgents can impose a theocracy.
- Nick ClooneyWe do not want to live in a theocracy. We should maintain that barrier and government has no business telling someone what they ought to believe or how they should conduct their private lives.
- Robert ReichThe constitution is not only a disaster for a lot of the people who share the secular democratic perspective, whether Sunni, Shiite or Kurdish. It`s also leading to some version of a sharia state . . . not necessarily a theocracy but certainly a state where there is a dominant role for Muslim clerics.
- David MackI think the Shiites want a theocracy.
