I'm a Christian, but not a fundamentalist or Bible literalist like Fallwell or Dobson and their ilk. I get concerned when the term "Christian" is used to identify that sort of fundamentalism. To me Christian fundamentalists concern themselves with the conduct of others rather than their own. It's like my religion is getting hijacked.
Obviously Muslims have the same problem, only worse. Many people now identify the term "Muslim" with someone who will strap on a bomb and kill innocents in the name of Jihad. Like Christian fundamentalist leaders, the words of fundamentalist imams are those that are most reported, especially if they call for violence.
What do we each do to reclaim our respective religion's truth from fundamentalists?
