There's a lot of hubris in the assumption that "they" are fundamentally different from us. They're not.

Fundamentally different being the whole point, methinks.

Religious fundamentalist activists all share one belief: that they have a divine right to impose their religious practices and restrictions on everyone else--by force, if necessary.

I submit "they" have a name.....seems to me we need to identify, by name, as much as we can.
