Those who rail against the Muslim world as a seat terror perpetrated by ‘Muslim fundamentalists’ not only besmirch nearly a billion observant, mainstream members of one of the three great monotheistic faiths, along with Judaism and Christianity; but adherents to that stereotype also seem to be blind to the Christian fundamentalist extremists among us.
