But that\u2019s obviously a crock. You can\u2019t honestly tell me there was ever a time when human beings were less complex, less passionate or afraid or unpredictable, less wonderful than they are now.<\/p>\n<p>For me, all this was a revelation on the level of learning, as a kid, that Allah and JHVH and the christian God were the same thing: that all Big Three monotheisms worship the God of Abraham and don\u2019t even bother hiding that fact. The idea that \u201cfundamentalism\u201d was a logically tortured appeal to a beautiful pure world that never existed, and that Al Qaeda and Juniper Creek are essentially parallel movements with the same agenda and arising from the same confusion and fear\u2026 Revelatory.<\/p>\n<p>Things are confusing, lots of stuff coming at your face all the time. Sex keeps getting less and less kind, and we keep blaming more and more shit on our parents and our kids, and technology is overwhelming and even the hippest among us can sometimes feel like the world is changing so fast and flying by so carelessly without giving us more than a glimpse of itself, much less a place to grab hold. I can\u2019t say they don\u2019t have a point. But then, terrorists usually do. If they didn\u2019t have something to say (even if it\u2019s usually a crock of bullshit), they wouldn\u2019t feel silenced, and they wouldn\u2019t pull the shit they pull. They wouldn\u2019t feel the need to scream so loudly that the whole world must listen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Al Qaeda und Juniper Creek (evangelikaler Fundamentalismus)\u00a0 entstammen allerdings nicht &#8222;der gleichen Verwirrung und Angst&#8220; im Angesicht der Moderne. Von einer <em>&#8222;gleichen Agenda&#8220;<\/em> mal ganz zu schweigen. Das mag ein tr\u00f6stlicher Gedanke sein f\u00fcr einen \u00c4gypter, der sich mit Schrecken dem Fundamentalismus im eigenen Land gegen\u00fcber sieht (Al-Zawahiri ist ein \u00e4gyptischer Arzt).
