I am accustomed to it after 4 years.

I am very concerned about mindless groupspeak, however, and the idea that there is an "approved" opinion on any given issue. Sad and pathetic, really, to be so eager to conform that one would post plaintively asking for the "approved" opinion to hold, so as to avoid the risk of thinking for oneself.

As for me, I have no problem with rejecting the validity and values of fundamentalist islam, just as I reject the values of fundamentalist christians here at home. The rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the middle ages ruined an advanced cutlure and plunged it into a dark age it has never recovered from. It deserves no respect, it is a malignant thing which destroys civilizations.
