The threat from religious fundamentalists is nothing new and it is not merely coming from the Islamic world, it is also emanating from many other parts of the world, the United States and Israel included. The strongest supporters of the Bush administration in the United States are Christian fundamentalists who believe in the biblical prophecy that Jerusalem needs to come completely under Israeli occupation for the second coming of Christ. This religious fundamentalist belief is helping to fuel the conflict in the Middle East and around the world. If you look back in history, pretty much all of the wars and human suffering has been caused by religious indifference. The fighting has been going on for thousands of years in the Middle East. The reasons are old, but the weapons are new and more deadly.
