I wish our journalists would be this curious and insightful about the bible-belt in the US...and the rising power of the neo-cons in Washington and of course the Grand Evangelist 10/40 plan! sigh! After all if some analysts are to believed the invasion of Iraq was strongly influenced by this fundamentalist force! If so, the World should be concerned as much if not more...look at the death and destruction...WANTON destruction of human life and dignity...and if unchecked this force can wreak further havoc! I certainly hope NYT will cast its objective and consciencious eye on this terrifying prospect as well.
As far as fundies in our homeland is concerned, why cant we have such articles about rising fundamentalism in Bangladesh written by our own journalists? Don't we have any insightful and vigilant journalists left? We need to wake up to the dangers that narrow-minded fundies pose to the fabric of our society.
