I wish I'd know that. What's the appropriate keyword now that google
has 'improved'? :)

Actually, I think that what is referred to as "fundamentalism" in
mainstream English usage is far from true fundamentalism.
Fundamentalism means going to the roots of something. Mainstream
English usage has the word confused with extremism. I consider myself
to be fundamentalist. Therefore I do not wear the traditional Jewish
skull cap: that is not a commandment from God but rather a custom.
However, I make an honest effort to keep all the commandments (not
just the 10 known ones). And, being a fundamentalist, I do not kill my
enemies||neighbors||other believers. Quite the opposite, I help my
Muslim neighbors and friends with absolutely no thought about their
religion. Extremists are dangerous, in any field (computing included),
but not fundamentalists. A computer fundamentalist might be considered
one who only programs in assembly :)
