Fundamentalism is defined as “the practice of asserting the absolute truth of your own beliefs and practices to the deliberate exclusion of the possibility of truth in the beliefs and practices of others.” Based on this definition, one can conclude that Fundamentalism is nothing but bigotry and religious intolerance. Fundamentalism, of whatever shape of form, is a deadly poison in human relations – resulting in rancor, strife -- and in the extreme -- hatred, violence and genocide.
Who do you think is behind the war in Iraq?
Peace and blessings!

I am sorry to say that there really are some violent so-called christian groups in the US today. They go by varied names but usually are very militant anti-abortion groups and white supremacy groups.
Both groups are wrong and do not reflect the cause of Christ, or the person and work of Christ. Most of the groups out there now are very quiet and have been for the last 15 years or so. Randal Terry is someone you can google and that will lead you to more links to terrorist bombings of abortion clinics and the like. Most all in the south and southern states. As a christian this makes me sick and damages the cause of Christ and christians everywhere.

The first one that comes to mind, for me, is the Roman Catholic Church. The Crusades, the Spanish Inquisition, the medieval witch trials, and the "conversion" and "civilizing" of Native Americans are obvious examples of Christian terrorism.
My apologies to my Catholic friends... This was the medieval Catholic Church, not the modern one.
ADDED: Mark S should try reading instead of taking offense at a very legitimate question. He might learn something. Too bad there's not a way to advise Yahoo's staff that a flag on a message is invalid and the person who put it there is just wrong and trying to stop a legitimate and educational discussion. Oh, and KKK was a good answer! Do you think Mark S might be.... Nah...
