I guess it depends on where in the world we're talking about....I live in America and the dogmatists here aren't too bad, certainly nothing like how it is in the Middle East.
Second only to the Middle East. Here the fundamentalists are strongly connected to the white nationalists and it's become a real problem. Granted the the most problematic get most of the press, but that's also true in the Middle East.

Why do you think people with the same mindset as Trump would have no principles?
Two weeks ago: Can't wait for Trump to expose the Epstein files, boo pedophiles!
Today: There are no Epstein files. And if there are, Clinton and Obama wrote them. And if theyre not a Democrat psy-op and Trump is on them, he's still a great president and I'll just have to find a way to forgive him.
