Islam is not the only religion that has sought to take political
power, or believed that it should be possible to create a
theocracy. In the 17th century, Christians in the British Isles and
North America attempted to follow the examples of 16th century
European radicals of contrasting types, while attempting to learn
from their mistakes - first in Scotland, and then Cromwell tried to
impose just such a rule in the rest of the country. At the same
time, millenarian groups planned a religious, political and social
revolution to usher in the return of Christ; while others argued
for something akin to communism. And even after the Restoration of
the monarchy in 1660, there were sects, such as the Quakers, whose
faith had a radical impact on their politics. Nor is Christian
radicalism dead today - it has influenced politicians ever since.
