I don't see this as being the much vaunted "toleration" worshipped by so many.

Fine then I'll clarify my point about "fundies", "fanatics", "nutbag/job", and "bible-thumpers" - to me they are all the same thing, but the last being more faith specific... I only used the term "bible-thumper" because Christian fundamentalists are the standard fundamentalist you deal with here in North America - however I should also point out that they very few "Torah Thumpers" and "Koran Thumpers" almost as annoying.
Basically I'm interolerant (just for you KSig RC) of fundamentalists/fanatics of all flavours - be they Muslim, Jew, Hindu, Asstru, Wiccan, Christian, or heck even Atheist... I have no problem with those who are strong in their faith; just those whose faith is blind - or more to the point: those who feel that their particular brand of faith is the only right one - and all others are damned.
