American believers bitch that the New Atheists display a heat and hostility towards their opponents that makes them deserve the label "fundamentalists."
Really?
Bunch of sissies, compared to the real thing, I think.
A publisher of secular books has been hacked to death in the Bangladeshi capital, police have said.
In a separate attack in Dhaka, police said two other writers and a publisher were stabbed and shot at a publishing house.
Fears of Islamist violence have been growing in Bangladesh after at least four atheist bloggers were murdered in the country this year.
The attacks have been linked by police to domestic Islamist extremists, while Islamic State has claimed responsibility for three other attacks.
And in any case the charge ignores the meaning of the word, "fundamentalism."
Much as liberal discourse so often ignores the meaning of "fascism" while conservatives ignore the meanings of "socialism," "communism," and "Marxism."
