In response to Why is a Muslim Scary? posted by Binte:

Hi Fatima,
Don't fall for the politics of the name calling game (labeling and branding). Fundamentalists and Extremists are polar opposites. Unfortunately, people want to label something, when in fact, they are only fear-mongering and attaching labels.

Those who blow up buildings, etc, are extremists.... Those who hold to tradition, are fundamentalists.

Of course, the neo-liberal's will attach a political name to something that means nothing, in the end....

As you will find, they will attempt to claim 'what you are' (or what I am) - according to their ignorance.... Its best to just ignore it and move forwardsmile

The only ones I find scary are those who want to use force to control people. And those who want to silence those to whom they may not agree with....
