In seriousness, though, I personally regard a guy like him in the exact same category as I do Bin Laden, the key determinant being fundamentalism, regardless of the religious strain it infests. I don't. There is a difference between fundamentalism, and violent fundamentalism. Its one thing to support a inflexible version of religious belief. Its another to beat someone's head in because they don't support your belief like the Taliban. Its still another to kill thousands of innocent people because of some twisted rational that is somehow linked to religious belief like Bin Laden and Al-Qaida. Falwell might be a pompous windbag but he isn't a terrorist. Falwell might have opinions that you think our obnoxious, but you are free to disagree with him and he won't target you for death. The people in the WTC were not given the option of peaceful disagreement, or even a chance to agree. They where just killed. The key determinant is violence directed against innocent people. Tim
