From GetReligion, which watches news coverage of religious issues.
Once again, we have the f-word [fundamentalist] used in a news report in a way that does nothing to add factual material to the story… Can we all agree that the subways in Moscow were not attacked by bands of very conservative Protestants who are willing to sign the Fundamentals of the Faith documents of the early 20th century? Note that the usage of the f-word in this story clouds another issue. What do the rebels actually want? Is a “fundamentalist Caucasus Emirate” the same thing as an Islamic republic? What kind? What form of government, rooted in what approach to Sharia?
