I keep trying to tell people who insist they're a potential Taliban that, but do they listen? Noooooooo.
Never mind, BTW, that like pretty much every other branch of Christianity in the US, "fundamentalism" is so schismed and reblended and whatnot that to simply point at "fundamentalists" is to say essentially nothing, or prove your ignorance, same diff. The fundies I grew up with, for instance, aren't really fundies, they're fundie/charismatic hybrids who cause traditional fundies - Southern Baptists, say - to recoil in horror and throw accusations of heresy.
