Amos ...Im afraid you are not correct in your statement that Islamic fundamentalists are much the same as christian fundamentalists.
The difference is in the two separate cultures.
Islamic society is not at all "Democratic",and I dont necessarily mean that as a bad thing in itself. But if Western so called Democracy spreads through the Middle East,it will eventually mean the end of Islam and the end of power for the Mullahs.
Every one of these Mullahs is a potential Osama,if they are squeezed into a corner,and they seem to be able to convince young Arabs of the glory of Martyrdom,therefore they are different and very much more dangerous than our own relatively harmless loonies.
By the way Iv no particular axe to grind on this question,as I think it would probably be quite a good thing ,inthe long term, if the Western economies collapsed and we reverted to the Stone age.
Maybe we would start treating "Mother Nature" with some respect, second time around.....Ake
