Well, when 'whatever you call them' are collectively promoting a cause which is dangerous to Constitutional society or detrimental to the religious traditions they claim to be preserving, -- it's hard to find a non-pejorative term for them, imo.

I don't ask that you abstain from using pejorative words for bloody-handed fanatics. I only ask you not to call them "fundamentalists." It tends to give thousands of innocent, peaceful fundamentalists (i.e. normal religious folk like your practicing Jewish and Christian neighbors--- and others --- ) a bad name.
