Praderasaid,
As I said - you should listen to them. It's hard to describe, really. Well, consider listening to Bin Laden for a few hours and replace all references to 'Allah' with 'Christ', and all reference to US with EU... and maybe they're not yet ready for bombing, or at least they hide it well. As I
they're just developing. Actually, if you didn't find them scary after meeting them, I'd start to be afraid of you...I agree with you - fundamentalists belonging to any religion are dangerous hatemongers, whether one is talking about Catholics, Protestants, Muslims, Hindus or Jews. And of course, the basic grudge the Muslim fundies hold against the USA is not its support of Israel (thought they hate America for supporting Israel too), and even less is it "economical injustice"; the basic beef against the US is that it is "atheistic" and "immoral" - that is to say, it stands for the modernist, secularized project. Even so, improving social and ecnomic conditions in Third World countries would probably reduce the recruitment pool for Muslim Fundies. I believe the US government is aware of that and is acting accordingly, despite all the strange rhetorics of George W. Bush, Jr.
