RE:Rise of radicals?

"religious fundamentalism". Bad term. Religion is based on "beliefs".

The meaning of "belief" is
"a feeling that something exists or is true, especially one without proof."

So only a fool would "Believe" or entertain
"beliefs".

"Beliefs" sow the seed of fundamentalism. Some "M" appears in India and say that caste should be birth-based. Someone appears outside India and say he has been sent down by Almighty and humanity should be divided as believers and non-believers and only what I say is true.

A believing mind is the fertile field in which charlatans sow seeds of religion by claiming taht they r divine. They tell big lies(people r accustomed only to telling small lies). When they hear a big lie, they "believe" it.
