"FUNDAMENTALISTS"?
In the Washington Post Alan Cooperman wrote about the NAE meeting where certain evangelicals were encouraged to govern their coments about Islam: "The conference at a Washington hotel represented the first organized effort by fundamentalist Christian groups to rein in their rhetoric and agree on guidelines about what -- and what not -- to say about Islam..."

Good job, Alan! You've managed to tick-off the evangelicals by equating them with fundamentalists -- and, of course, the fundamentalists want nothing to do with the evangelicals -- whom they perceive as liberal. So you've made them unhappy, too. This is one more indicator that much of the mainstream media is clueless about religion in America. See related story by Fred Barnes in the Daily Standard
