But in response to what you said about them being the same it very much is the point.

No to the point of the comparison, firstly because Islamic fundamentalism isn't the only religous interpretation that has blood on it's hands, fundamentalism in Christianity and ultra-Zionism in Israel has also led to plenty of deaths and I've no doubt it would again if a member of the Tea Party ever came to power in the US. Plus Bush was a Christian, received support from the Religious Right and is responsible for far more deaths than Bin Laden. But secondly it's because I wasn't saying they were comparable in terms of death tolls anyway, I was pointing out that you can put Bin Laden and his interpretation of the Qu'ran on a similar level to the interpretation of the Bible by millions of Americans in the sense that both are fundamentalist readings.
