Talking Islamic fundies give BJU a bad name

The God-fearing folks at <a href="http://www.bju.edu/aboutbju/aboutbju.asp?section=president" target="_blank">Bob Jones University</a> no longer want to be called "fundamentalists" -- even though they are. They'd rather be thought of as "preservationists" -- which are basically fundamentalists without the killing, in their view. And that's not what BJU is about, see.

It's the media's fault, really:

Quote:
Bob Jones University is unashamedly Fundamentalist, but the term is beginning to carry an onerous connotation with the world at large because of the media's penchant for lumping Christian Fundamentalists in the same heap as Islamic Fundamentalists.
