This reads less like anti-catholicism and more like a typical "everyone we don't like is a Muslim-Socialist-Communist-Nazi-Space-Whale" deal.
X4 Well yeah, American Rightism has a cultural worship of the Puritans, who left Britain because they weren't allowed to burn Catholics at the stake anymore. So anti-Catholic sentiment is to be expected.
You mean, instead of being beholden to Big Business?

To be fair, quite a few heads of state(the Italian city states mostly) until about the late 1600's?(please correct me if I'm wrong) or so Were beholden to the Catholic Church.
But there's really no excuse for it in modern times, when Papal Authority don't mean squat.

Look upon my privilege ye mighty and despair.The far right globally have a weird issue when it comes to Jews, they tend to hate Jews and believe in the same kind of anti-Semitic bullshit that Hitler did, but they also really hate Muslims and see Israel as their best weapons against Muslims.
So they tend to try and act like they don't hate Jews, so that they can get Jews to kill Muslims and then presumably sweep in at the end and kill anyone left.
In the end though the far right are almost as bad as the far left when it comes to unity, in the end evil isn't one big happy family. So they don't always agree.
“And the Bunny nails it!” ~ Gabrael “If the UN can get through a day without everyone strangling everyone else so can we.” ~ CyranUsually, the American Right wants to protect Israel basically for religious reasons (what with it being the birthplace of Judaism and Christianity). "Jesus was a Jew, we should protect the Jews" is basically their logic.
Groups like Neo-Nazis hate Jews, so naturally their goals are in alignment with radical Islam.
