If I take you at your word, well, religious fundamentalism is definitely a part of conservatism in the US, so I guess it fits tin this thread, although not in the way you think it does.
I recall back when Louis Farrakhan, along with many, many other people, organized the Million Man March. It was around the time that murder and domestic violence were at an absolute peak among black Americans (and the developed world in general, as an aside), and people really wanted a strong cause to show one another that we could do better than that, that we could *be* better than that. Even from Boston, it was understood that everyone who did go (I did not, but knew people who did, as literally their first trip outside the reach of Boston's Public Transit) were to be at their best - no violence, no drugs, nothing of that nature. ANd yeah, Farrakhan did speak at the event, among many other people.
But, it may have changed the lives of, at least, a few of the guys who went there, and that is important.
One could say the same of, say, the Tea Party rallies, and Glenn Beck back in 2010 or whenever.
If you want to see what I have to say of Farrakhan, and of the Nation of Islam as a religion, can do a forum search, the detailed breakdown would take a while. If you'd rather not, just understand that I generally despise them, *but* I do think that they serve a good in reforming criminals and, on some neighborhoods, providing security when nobody else does.
I'm unconcerned with who Sarsour is, or what her personal beliefs are, as far as the Womens' Marches go. They're simply not important. If she stays or goes, it makes no difference in what the people who attended the rally, who found their voices, who decided to run for offices are doing. Same as Farrakhan or Beck, both scam artists and conspiracy theorists at best, do not reflect the people who went to the Million Man March or the Tea Party rallies.
