Quote of the Day - Jenkins on Fundamentalists

No, not Jenkins from the much maligned 'Left Behind' series, but Philip Jenkins author of, "The New Faces of Christianity". Here is one that caught my attention bringing a smile to my face (just cause I thought it was funny)....

In the US and Europe, the term [fundamentalism] usually suggests a bull-headed obstinacy in the face of scientific facts, a tendency outwards repression, especially directed against women or the sexually unorthodox. If that is in fact the future of Christianity, then it is not just theological liberals who have cause for concern, since the new face of Christianity's would look disturbingly like the worst stereotypes of radical Islam.

This is the part where fundamentalists out there in blogosphere call Jenkins a heretic and post back comments how their interpretation of Scripture is the only trusthworthy interpretation and all others should go to hell :P
