The Fundamentalists Spread Their Poison into the nation

Reports from the field indicate that cells of religious fundamentalists have inflitrated the nation in a concerted effort to sway the population there back to a more traditional lifestyle - one that no doubt stands in staunch opposition to our secularist ideals. Charismatic clerics and dashing protest leaders have led the charge in converting the population of the nation over to their way of thinking, and so far attempting to force them out using soft power has failed. We have been presented a dilemma: we seek to support the popular will of the people, yet if we do not intefere through a more direct course of action then we will almost certainly lose the state to the fundamentalists. We have tried again and again to enlighten the population of our nation to try and build popular support for secularism, and yet at every single turn the fanatics have and continue to fight us tooth and nail. We must choose if we are ready to accept the will of the people of the nation, or if direct action must be taken by our government to thwart the aims of the fundamentalists.
