RE:RE:Soft options

"Christians, Jews, Parsis, Sikhs, Buddhists and Hindus have the same value system in the 21st century; All of them have modernized."

Not all of them. Look at the Kmer Rouge inspired JVP in Srilanka, the orthodox fundamentalist (also Hassidic?) Jews, the Bhindrenwalaists, the Christian Phalangists, the RSS, and even some Parsis who want to preserve their purity by excommunicating inter-marrying Parsis.. the list is long.

The fact is that to us only the Islamists and the RSS sound fundamentalist because they are the loudest and the most violent. But no religious community is free from fundamentalism.
