I think a fundamentalist is somebody who believes something unshakably and isn't going to change their mind.

One of the reasons why fundamentalists are so aggressive in trying to promote fundamentalism is because deep down they know it's arbitrary. If you're comfortable with your belief you don't need to convince other people to agree with you.

The whole concept of negotiating is intimidating to many people.

I truly believe that fundamentalism stems from unemployment. A man without a job is desperate; he doesn't want to live anyway.

Negotiating in the classic diplomatic sense assumes parties more anxious to agree than to disagree.

At least the fundamentalists haven't tried to dilute their message. Their faith is exposed for what it is for all to see.

Simple logic dictates that if you cannot even conceive the possibility of leaving a negotiation, then it is preferable never to enter one.

I'm opposed to fundamentalism in any form.

Fundamentalism is such a pejorative word and immediately evokes images of angry extremism. In my experience, that's not usually what it looks like. I was a fundamentalist in high school.

I cannot comprehend fundamentalism. It's fundamentally wrong.
