I don't think I've ever seen anyone from ISKCON make the
claim that you state above. Have you?
As for the use of the term "fundamentalist", I merely stated
that you used it only in conjunction with Islam, and that I
found it interesting that you did so. After all, the stereotype
of the evil "Fundamentalist Muslim" is a pretty widely used
one in the Western media, and whenever I see someone using the
term, I have to wonder to what extent they've bought into the
prejudice.
So I would contend that I was merely making observations about
your post that you perhaps don't find amusing. So be it. If you
want to call it "assuming an amazing amount of 'between the lines'
information", go ahead, but consider the possibility that there
is something to the observation.
