Today's Word : fundamentalism

fun·da·men·tal·ism /‹fndŠmentl‹izm/
*N. a form of Protestant
Christianity that upholds belief in the strict and literal
interpretation of the Bible, including its narratives,
doctrines, prophecies, and moral laws.

- strict maintenance of ancient or fundamental
doctrines of any religion or ideology, notably Islam.

- Modern Christian fundamentalism arose from
American millenarian sects of the 19th century, and has
become associated with reaction against social and
political liberalism and rejection of the theory of
evolution. Islamic fundamentalism appeared in
the 18th and 19th centuries as a reaction to the
disintegration of Islamic political and economic
power, asserting that Islam is central to both state and
society and advocating strict adherence to the Koran
(Qur'an) and to Islamic law (sharia), supported if need
be by jihad or holy war.

DERIVATIVES:
fun·da·men·tal·ist N. & ADJ.

*Definition quoted from The NEW OXFORD AMERICAN Dictionary

V for Vendetta


Check out V for Vendetta, I worked on the movie special for MTV and got to see a preview screening. It was great! Good story, nice effects, and a bald headed Natalie Portman -- what else can a viewer want in a movie!

Check out the scary similarites to the oppressive government in the movies and our current administration. Frightening!

Freedom! Forever!
