| Fundamentalism
is often involved with militancy and sometimes with terrorism. What Hindu minorities in
the world are violently agitating for their separate state? What planes have Hindu
fundamentalists hijacked, what hostages have they taken, what bombs have they planted?
What terrorist activities are Hindu fundamentalists promoting throughout the world? What
countries are stalking down Hindu fundamentalist terrorists who are plotting against them?
The Ayatollah Khomeni is regarded in the Western World as a typical example of an Islamic
fundamentalist militant leader. Many Western people
consider him to be a terrorist as well. What Hindu fundamentalist leader has a similar
record? Saudi Arabia is usually regarded as a pious or orthodox Islamic country, and
is usually not called fundamentalist even by the news media of India. No non-Islamic
places of worship are allowed to be built there. No non-Islamic worship is allowed in
public. American troops in the Gulf War had to hide their religious practices so as not to
offend the Saudis.
Traditional Islamic law, including mutilation for various
offences, is strictly enforced by a special religious police force. If we apply any
standard definition of fundamentalism, Saudi Arabia is a super-fundamentalist country. |
