Reader comment on item: Islamic Fundamentalists are the New Big Threat to the West

Submitted by - (European Union), Oct 4, 2006 at 11:09

I think that it is very dangerous territory to make the statment: Most fundamentalists hate Western culture. Fundamentalists are people who follow traditional forms of their religion. It is generalisations like this that cause discrimination and only make situations worse. Terrorists acts are of a minority and are not connected to fundamentalism. Connecting fundamentalism to terrorist acts connects terrorism to islam as a religion.

i would be interested to hear anyone's comments and opinions.
