He is right

It looks much better in the whole.

The problem is in the use of the term fundamentalist. That is like the term liberal or conservative. Many Christians consider themselves fundamentalist and would proudly acknowledge same. Others see fundamentalism as bad regardless of the degree that it is practiced.

Obviously, Zubrin was referring to the extreme brand of Islam that is practiced by a minority of Muslims but still has managed to permeate Muslim society to the extent that it has facilitated a dark age.

I compare it to the mild effect of religion in our society that requires nearly all politicians to express a belief in god and demonstrate that belief by attending religious services at least occasionally.

I liked the article and Zubrin's stock goes up with me.
