LOL. I don't. Congratulations. There is a difference between fundamentalism, and violent fundamentalism. Maybe to you. But there is nothing that makes me believe that Christian fundamentalists of the fervor of their counterparts in the Taliban and elsewhere are in any way above, beyond, or otherwise incapable or unwilling to undertake the same actions as Islamic fundamentalists do and have. 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. Uh-huh. And where does bombing abortion clinics or killing abortion doctors and supporters with sniper rifles fit into your little dissertation? 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. Well, if this is what you're getting at: even though it hasn't happened yet, I don't put it even remotely past a Bible-thumper to take upon him or herself an attack of 9/11's style or magnitude anywhere in the world, including domestically. The key determinant is violence directed against innocent people. That's right. Wake up. LPS5
