This text, thus far, has introduced many to a systematic type of religious foul-play.

Karen Armstrong goes far enough to explain that fundamentalism, however it may be
described or used, is not a benevolent force of nature. She implies that extremism can be part
of fundamentalism and the lifestyles that persist therein, but that fundamentalism is much
more than killing for Christ (or whatever violent religious extremist actions might occur
within a religion.)
Fundamentalists have no time for democracy, pluralism, religious toleration,
peacekeeping, free speech, or the separation of church and state, is the quote that I feel best
sums up the idea of fundamentalism in its entirety and the platform upon which
fundamentalists proudly stand. I feel as if fundamentalists are the Uncle Sams of religions.
They instill and fully weave a sense of patriotism, of sorts, to ones religion. That their religion
is, in fact, fundamental to the quality, quantity, and continuation of life as we know it. They
believe that their religious texts, however allegorical and anecdotal they may me, can be and
tend to be based on science. Most people that practice their religions tend to be surreptitious
in their pride and their beliefs that their religion should be woven throughout the fabric of all
existence. Fundamentalists, however, are not this clandestine.
