Lawrence Davidson — The Dangers of Religious Primitivism

By stirring up the Middle East – from Western exploitation of oil to Zionist expulsion of Palestinians – Christians and Jews set in motion today’s “clash of civilizations” with Islam and launched all three religions on a path toward dangerous primitivism, a threat to humanity’s future, writes Lawrence Davidson.

I would not limited fundamentalisms to religious fundamentalism. Market fundamentalism that conflated market-based economics with a market state is also irrational and threatening.

"My way or the highway," and, "You're either with us or against us," are no basis for peaceful global integration. The tyranny of fixed ideas.
