Good luck Larry. You'll do great.

Fundamentalism can mean a lot of different things, and it's often a label thrown at people by a different kind of bigot, as a way of avoiding discussions. Sometimes all it means is people in a new country turning to their own religious traditions and recognising that they have things worth holding on to and passing on.

Here's a verse from a song I wrote once, with Irish immigrants in mind, which ties in here in a way:

They tell you when you land here that you're far behind the age,
They tell you you must learn to change according to their ways,
And they tell you what you must adnire, and what you must despise,
And you learn too late that what they say is a spiders web of lies.

There are aspects of the Hindu tradition, as there is of the Muslim tradition, and aspects which are in truth fundamental to it, which are the reverse of intolerant and bigotted. Gandhi's Hinduism was pretty fundamental to his message. And you could say the same for George Fox and his Christianity.
