That's something I hear asserted often, with no evidence offered to back it up: that moderates shield or enable fundamentalists. Generally speaking, neither of them even considers the other group to be genuinely part of their religion, whether you're talking about Christians or Muslims. I mean, what exactly is the scenario supposed to be here? Joe Pentecostal wouldn't be a fundamentalist if it weren't for the Quakers shielding and enabling him?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
