Who should worry us more?

Rarely a day goes by where more news is not splashed on our screen about religions fanatacism in some of the Islamic countries - countless news stories fill our papers about their wayward beliefs and dedication to destroy our civilised way of life (this, is also questionable I know).
All the while, little or no attention is paid to religious zealouts in America who, as we speak are:
Succesfully campaigning for creationism to be given equal footing with Darwinism in schools as viable theory
Succesfully campaigning against abortion through Pro-life groups, effectively outlawing it in some areas through threats of violence and repercussion.
Started sending modern day disciples around the world to spread its pro-life message/anti abortion
Are we blind to America's behaviour? The stories of the east fill our newspapers with horror and condemnation whilst the behaviour of the west slips neatly under our radar. We consistently repeat our disgust of nations who use religion to guide their politics whilst bizarrely remaining quite friendly with the worst perpertrator of all.
Who should worry us more? Both east and west have immeasurable influence on world politics - or should we just let em fight it out.
