religious fundamentalists

i'm currently watching the newshour with jim leher and they are running a feature on president mahmoud ahmadinejad of iran and his latest comments against the nation of israel and a video that features the president drinking tea in a traditional manner with some fundamentalist leaders after giving a speech on his reformist political status.

so let me get this straight...

there is a religious fundamentalist taking over the presidency of iran... mmm... sounds familiar.

he also laid indirect accusations against the united states to the effect, "how dare you restrict us with accusations of biochemical weapons when you have the largest stockpile? when you have used them before?"

this ought to be interesting, although i'm not certain if many will draw the connection. however, one of the lines from the newshour feature stated this...

"just like fundamentalists christians... fundamentals muslims believe that the mahdi will come in the form of an apocalypse."
