I feel the influence of the "Christian Taliban" in the ranks of the US government gets underestimated.
"Since 1977 there have been eight murders, 17 attempted murders, 42 bombings, and 186 arsons targeted at abortion clinics and providers across the United States."
It's not on the same scale, but the faction clearly exists that would do it if they could get away with it.
There's really no similarity, and pretending otherwise is just trivializing the Taliban.
