Fundamentalism in any form is the enemy

I'm not worried about Muslims. I'm worried about fundamentalism. Literalism, absolutism, extremism under the guise of faith. Any faith.

I mean, anybody who thinks fanaticism is a trait exclusive to Islam must not have heard of Eric Rudolph, the Christian terrorist who bombed the Atlanta Olympics, a gay nightclub and two abortion clinics. Some alleged Christians in rural North Carolina, where he is believed to have hidden for five years, consider this murderer a hero.
