This particular professor is German, and I don't know if he's ever been in the U.S.
So, if there were no more fundamentalism in the world, would 9/11 have happened? BTW, he said this about five years ago, and was predicting that fundamentalism was getting too strong, and that something very big would eventually have to happen.
Christians who believe that the Bible is the absolute word of God, with Islam and the Koran is either ignorant,
But the Koran is the absolute word of God too. At least that's what about 100 million or more people think.
Sloppy and absurd posit. Shall we also be asking the Professor: "If there were no 'Nazism' in Germany in 1933, would WWII have occurred? And were all Germans, Nazis??"
Ok Q, let us briefly first define "fundamentalism". Is it fair to say "fundamentalism" is based upon a strict, literal and absolute belief of a particular philosophy, and thus not subject to change? If so, is there such a thing as a U.S. Constitutional "Fundamentalist"? Mathematical "Fundamentalist"? Bad things? Is there is any word that has been subverted and coded more by the Left than "Fundamentalism"?? Oh year -- there is the word, "discriminate".
Anyway, taken in the context of its absolute, "fundamentally" speaking, the Koran clearly addresses "Infidels" as an entity subject to "elimination" at worst, while Christian "fundamentalism" teaches the quite the opposite, unless your "conservative German" professor could prove otherwise scripturally. But perhaps it is easier for the Professor to lump all "Fundamentalists" of the world together, as they though they were ONE BIG CAMP. If so, that is a very sloppy understanding and teaching of the word "fundamentalism."
