I’m pretty sure they have been doing that for a long time. As I recall, there have been conferences in South America. There has also been a lot of uptake in islamic countries, some of which were involved in the Kansas Education Board hearings.
From the beginning ID has been about “Theism”, finding common ground with Islam, Judaism and Christianity. Especially in Turkey, there has been a lot of uptake, and it has spread. As I understand it, just like in the US, it is strongest among the more “fundamentalist” factions. Strange bedfellows, right?
