Army, it’s about lumping folks together under the label “fanatic”. If the big mushroom cloud appeared over Mecca do you think we’d see hundreds of thousands of Christians cheering in the streets like we saw Muslims cheering when the towers went down? I don’t think so. I’m sure the Pope takes religion very seriously. Does he fit your definition of fanatic? |
WIKIPEDIA: Fanaticism is an emotion of being filled with excessive, uncritical zeal, particularly for an extreme religious or political cause, or with an obsessive enthusiasm for a pastime or hobby.
Although some would argue the point... I wouldn't say the Pope and Catholics are an extreme religious cause.
Doesn't the Klan operate with a religious undertone..sort of the super protestant thing?
While executing someone via beheading while taping or not taping is a horrid act I think that there are a lot of other groups and peoples that fall into religious zealots or fanatics. Wasn't DR. Gunn executed by an anti-abortion "super christian"?
