We should change the War On Terror to the War On Fundamentalism

[tavalon]

Because really, the problem is with fundamentalism of any ilk. Not Muslims or Christians or even Pagans, fundamentalists of any ilk are the bumfuck crazies who send their followers around with bombs strapped to their bellies and their brains washed clean of anything but their fucked up fundamentalist ideas.

1. Good Idea

Then we can fight them over here so we don't have to fight them over there.

2. Yeah, and we have plenty of easily found fundamentalist terrorists right here in the US of A

Pat Robertson who gets updates regularly from God on who is going to be decimated for this or that sin. And then there's Jerry Falwell. I mean really, we should be able to get these folks more easily than Osama. I don't think they're hiding out in the caves in Tora Bora.

6. Have you ever met a fundamentalist Pagan ?

They get really weird when you explain that the Goddess is yet another aspect of the grand myth. They don't care to know what is meant by that - they hear myth and think you are saying it's a lie. I've had a pentagram waved in my face and spittle on my forehead for daring to question the Pagan fundie line. And you should have seen what happened after I broke into uncontrollable giggles. I don't think that guy will ever be okay again. Not that he was okay when I met him, but, well, you know.

7. Good idea -- too bad we're really fighting the War on Brown People with Oil

Fundamentalism or Terrorism has no relation to what our military is doing in the Middle East, other than as a propoganda tool. Rest assured that Venezuela is somewhere on Bush's target list once he's through killing off all the "A-rabs".

8. Sssshhhhh!

I know it's the War On Terror because Jeebus, er, Bush tol' me so! So there! I was just trying to expand the mandate, donchya know? :evilgrin:

9. There are Wars For Oil, Water and other resources.

Religion is merely a tool to get support for the killing.

10. Talking about irrationality. . . . . .

Fundamentalism is a threat wherever it rears its head.

11. But the "War on Terror" is SUPPOSED to be a war

on Fundamentalism (just not ours)
