Re: The essence of fundamentalism. (none / 0)

To clarify, I don't think he meant "offshoot" to imply that Christianity is "nothing but an sect/faction" just that this is the main monotheistic family in the modern world, and the roots of both Christianity and Islam can be traced into the Judaic tradition. By contrast, other religions are not related in the same way to Judaism (e.g. Hinduism, Buddhism) but may be to each other.

I agree. And please don't shut up.
