'''American Taliban''' is a derogatory term used by [[liberals]] and [[atheists]] to describe conservative [[Christianity]] in America. Because of their opposition to [[gay marriage]] and [[abortion]], liberal extremists categorize this as being equivalent to the Afghan [[Taliban]] who controlled Afghan society and forced [[Sharia|Islamic law]] at gunpoint. Specifically, the term is most often used in reference to [[pro-life]] activists who attempt to disrupt the abortion industry in America.

The title was first used , in an unrelated fashion, in reference to [[John Walker Lindh]], a [[California]] man who joined the [[Taliban]] in early 2001, was captured on the battlefield in Afghanistan while in opposition to American forces in October 2001. Lindh was subsequently returned to the United States where he received 20 years in federal prison.<ref>CNN Programs, People in the News - [http://edition.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/people/shows/walker/profile.html John Walker Lindh]</ref>
