Fundamentalism, to use the cliché of the moment, is the new fascism. This quote from the New Criterion pretty well sums up the Political Correctness of the war on terror. It is the left trying to tar all fundamentalist religions as dangerous. Our secular Left elite, always eager to ridicule anyone who believes in God, has chosen this designation well. It covers Orthodox Jews (the persecutors of the poor PLO), Bible believing Christians (who obviously sponsor the abortion mill killings, as well as George Bush), and everyone else with a belief system.

........it is an irresistible rhetorical triumph to be able to package together all the people of whom you disapprove in one nauseous bundle. Associating terrorists with fundamentalist Christians is, especially for some American Democrats, a deeply satisfying new take on the state of the world..........liberals, for all their airy talk of tolerance, are determined that everyone should toe their own line.
The fundamentalist label is an attack on the Koran, the Bible, the Torah, and every known religious text in the world. It's a very interesting read.
