Letter: Many kinds of extremists

Thursday, Sept. 20, 2001 | 9:10 a.m.

In this stressful time for America caused by religious extremism we need to remember that extremists are not confined to the Muslim faith.

American extremists such as Pat Robertson and Jerry Falwell are using this tragedy in an attempt to advance their agendas of bigotry and discrimination by blaming such diverse groups as liberals, gays, abortion supporters, the American Civil Liberties Union and People for the American Way for the devastation which is on all our minds. Everyone needs to remember that extremism in the name of any cause is destructive.
