Descriere magazin:
On September 11, 2001, Americans witnessed horrific carnage inspired by religious extremism. We saw religious fundamentalists will stop at nothing to reign terror on those they regard as their enemies. In our response, we began to focus on the oppressive treatment of women and children in other parts of the world where religious fundamentalism rules. But we failed to acknowledge the impact and similarities of Christian fundamentalism. Even now, most Americans fail to realize the magnitude of problems posed by our own country\'s Christian fundamentalism and Religious Right. We regard such dogmatism as odd but non-threatening.

At least one has never been examined and exposed nationally. The Fundamentals of Extremism is an absorbing exposé. It urges mainstream Americans to recognize and oppose the encroachment of Christian fundamentalism on our secular society. It\'s a stirring appeal for religious freedom and the protection of civil liberties for all--including for the extre
