I watched the video and I was glad to see Mr. Federer referring to the Muslims who follow the Koran and Muhammed's examples as "Fundamentalists".

That's the word I have used here on FR instead of the the now popular "Radical" Muslims.

I figure practicing your religion as written is fundamental.
Radical to me, would be to practice it differently.

I guess the word choice of "Radical" is to incorrectly imply the Muslims who are on Jihad against us Kafirs are somehow doing something not encouraged by the religion. -Tom

Excellent observation and I will incorporate it into anything I write to newspapers, blogs or friends.

And Islamic Fundamentalism was the term used in the US media for a couple of decades from around 1980 forward, used to describe Iran and some of the early Islamic terrorists and kidnappers.

I recall foreign policy experts in the '80s saying that Islamic Fundamentalism would probably be our most serious problem in the future.

I think the term was dropped once and for all after 9/11 when our government and media decided no one could say anything bad about Islam.
