They're fanatics.

They are fanatics!

Fanatics, Charlatans, and Economists

Are the Saudis Fanatics?

Everything has two sides. Fanatics only see one.

Everything has two sides. Fanatics only see one.

Smaller groups of fanatics will always be present everywhere.

We're not all angry fanatics who want to kill the infidel.

Things are usually janus faced. And these fanatics only see one side.

Ja. But this is a direct result... of a handful of completely insane fanatics

Sometimes, it's necessary to eliminate the fanatics, the crazy ones for the common good.

Mortar fire and heavy machine guns protect the small army of outlaws and separatist fanatics.

My parents were fanatics about learning, and I'll come back to that a little bit later.

Last night a bunch of Israeli fanatics burned Bab Al Ghawanima, one of the gates of Al Haram Al Sharif.

It's not because a few fanatics try to sow fear that we should abandon our faith, our beliefs, our way of living.

The Alliance seeks to give a central role back to people of goodwill, rather than to fanatics and extremists who foment division and hate.

This is yet another in the long history of acts of desecration by Israeli fanatics, which were not prevented by the occupying Israeli authorities.

The Israeli authorities had done nothing to prevent that act, which must now be added to the already endless list of desecrations committed by Israeli fanatics.

Your Excellency on this day, the eve of our national feast of Bayram Armenian fanatics have dared to set fire to the National Turkish Bank in Constantinople.

We must pit all our strength against the cynics who advocate violence, the fanatics and ideologues the dead of Omagh, Nairobi and Dar es Salaam serve as a warning.

Adopts the observance of the World Week of Mosques to begin on the 21St August of every year, anniversary date of the burning of the Al Aqsa Mosque by Zionist fanatics

Moreover, during the night of 13 May, another criminal act had been committed in the holy city of Jerusalem, where a band of fanatics had burned Bab al Ghawanima, which was a part of the Haram al Sharif.

Moreover, violent militancy has now spread into Pakistan proper. Southern Punjab is seeing a rapid growth in the number of religious fanatics, and rooting out the problem there is much more challenging than acting in the Pashtun tribal areas.

But Brazil s government has also begun to criticize, albeit weakly, Iran s performance on human rights. At first, Lula minimized the seriousness of the incidents that occurred after Ahmadinejad s re election and went so far as to compare them to a dispute between football fanatics.

To conduct this struggle effectively, Russia must abandon two hoary stereotypes that all terrorists are bandits, and that they somehow are acting under some Western intelligence supervision to weaken Russia. The base of world terrorism consists of daring fanatics who believe in a sacred, fiery destiny.

These fanatics also believe that a return to the gold standard is inevitable as hyperinflation ensues from central banks debasement of paper money. But, given the absence of any conspiracy, falling inflation, and the inability to use gold as a currency, such arguments cannot be sustained.

This is the only path that promises both less corruption and more economic growth. Combating corruption through increased punitive action, while leaving intact a bloated and discretionary public sector, will only paralyze public officials, delay important decisions, and play into the hands of cynical demagogues and political fanatics.

Despite the horrific violence of Islamist fanatics, it should not be forgotten that the mosque can also be a legitimate basis for resistance against the mostly secular dictatorships in the Middle East today. In a world of political oppression and moral corruption, religious values offer an alternative moral universe.

The Republican Party is in danger of being taken over by fanatics who see compromise in government as a form of villainous treachery. Forcing the archconservative John Boehner to quit as Speaker of the House for being too soft was an act of war by Republicans against their own party.

Candidate Romney was so cowed by his party s obsession with low taxes that he never put forth a budget that added up. It was left to his spinners to explain, as The Economist put it, that this was necessary rubbish, concocted to persuade the fanatics who vote in the Republican primaries.

The ills of two decades in South Asia can be attributed to the Afghan jihad years the rise of the Taliban, the dominance of Pakistani sponsored religious fanatics within the Kashmir freedom movement, and the eventual spread of sectarian conflict within Pakistan. In Afghanistan, Pakistan s military and intelligence agencies sought strategic depth against India.

Yes, the existence of religious fanatics eager to kill large numbers of innocent American civilians warrants strong measures in response. But the Supreme Court's rulings affirm the fundamental principle that even grave dangers do not warrant the sort of blanket deference to which the Bush Administration believes it is entitled whenever it utters the words war and terrorism.

Even right wing fanatics who want to dismantle government institutions turn to them when facing a crisis like that caused by Ebola. Governments may not do a perfect job in addressing such crises, but one of the reasons that they have not done as well as we would hope is that we have underfunded the relevant agencies at the national and global level.

The West needs Russia as much as Russia needs the West, the thinking goes, whereas no one (to say the least) needs a sanctuary for Islamist fanatics in the heart of the Middle East. That is why Russia must be persuaded to change course through a combination of economic sanctions, strategic unity, and diplomatic engagement by contrast, the Islamic State s ambitions cannot be contained, so they must be suppressed.

One result of this global monetary policy activism has been a rebellion among pseudo economists and market hacks in recent years. This assortment of Austrian economists, radical monetarists, gold bugs, and Bitcoin fanatics has repeatedly warned that such a massive increase in global liquidity would lead to hyperinflation, the US dollar s collapse, sky high gold prices, and the eventual demise of fiat currencies at the hands of digital krypto currency counterparts.

We live in an age in which many people are disillusioned with secular politics, and are turning to religion instead, not only throughout the Muslim world, but in the core of Western civilization, Christian Europe and Evangelist America. Nor is the Jewish state of Israel, where Messianic fanatics and religious nationalists have embraced a political theology that questions the very legitimacy of the democratic institutions, immune from this phenomenon.

On the contrary, any proper understanding of ideologies must reckon with their power to seduce and even genuinely convince people who care little about their emotional appeal whether to pride or to hate but who think they actually offer rational policy solutions. We must remember that Mussolini and Hitler were ultimately brought to power by a king and a retired general, respectively in other words, traditional elites, not street fighting fanatics.
