Fundamentalism is not a disease of the ignorant, the mindless, and the dumb. It is in fact brought about by highly organized and intelligent beings who are set in their ways and are too damn certain about everything. They polarize and ostracize, refusing to move beyond their own comfort zone even in the face of oppressing evidence. So ensconced in their cocoon of certainty that any threat to the status quo, however slight, is dealt with harshly until resistance is efficiently eliminated. Why? Because they are afraid of change. They are afraid of uncertainty that is beyond their control. They are afraid of taking the blame should they fail.
