Fanatics do not have faith - they have belief. With faith you let go. You trust. Whereas with belief you cling.
I'm intrigued by fanatics - people who are seduced by the promise, or the illusion, of the absolute.
Lebanon, Israel, Ireland, South Africa - wherever there is a bleeding sore on the body of the world, the same hard-eyed narrow-minded fanatics are busy, indifferent to life, in love with death.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, and wiser people so full of doubts.
It is dangerous when you start calling people from one part of the world terrorists or fanatic, and you reduce them to some abstract notion. If evil has a geographical place, and if the evil has a name, that is the beginning of fascism. Real life is not this way. You have fanatics and narrow-minded people everywhere.
