Darren, [Your emails always come to me as attachments, so I've copied just the bit that provoked the most reaction from me.]
I always find the lumping together of various expressions of religious belief together under the label of 'fundamentalism' incredible. To lump various different beliefs across religious divides even moreso. To do what you've done, and equated 'fundamentalism' and 'orthodoxy' is mind-boggling. Then to use the following disputes Ireland: Orthodox/Fundamentalist Protestants and Catholics Sudan: Orthodox/Fundamentalist Muslim groups Palestine: Orthodox/Fundamentalist views on land Iraq/America: Orthodox/Fundamentalist Christian and Muslim as evidence for your argument defies belief. Of these four examples, only the Palestinian issue is very much exacerbated by Jewish and Muslim extremists. Extremism is certainly a factor in the Iraq and N. Ireland examples, but the issues are very much more complex than that, and to see Darfur as a dispute *between* Muslim fundamentalists is extraordinary. Finally, to use these examples to explain what is going on in the UCA is... words fail me.
