American fundamentalism
-----------------------
The Netzkraft Movement
Invitation to a network of persons and groups who commit them-
selves socially, politically, ecologically or spiritually
Dear people of the African Networks for Health Research & Devel-
opment (AFRO-NETS),
the American fundamentalism has become dangerous:
- The United States are striving for the world domination and
therefore developed the doctrine to wage "preemptive" wars.
- They violate the human rights and break their own and interna-
tional laws (Guant�namo, Abu Ghraib, phosphorus gas attack on
Fallujah).
- They ignore international agreements on the protection of the
environment, law and peace (agreement on climatic protection,
International Court of Justice, arms control agreements, Geneva
Convention).
There is only one way to defeat fundamentalist ideologies: in
the heads and hearts of the people. Where is the liberal Amer-
ica? The Islamist terror is a perversion of Islam, the American
fundamentalism a chauvinist perversion of democracy, law and
freedom.
This is why your work is so important, even if sometimes it
seems to have only little effect: your commitment also serves as
a good example and moves the heads and the hearts of those who
hear about your work. As a result, you are multipliers and your
activity is a contribution to fight against fundamentalist ide-
ologies and to keep the belief in justice alive. Please carry on
with it! We wish you strength and a long staying power for this
purpose.
Organizations like yours have joined together in the Netzkraft
Movement: a network of socially, politically, ecologically and
spiritually active people and groups who support each other, who
pursue global goals together and who appear together in the
internet. We would be very happy if you joined us! You will find
us here: http://www.netzkraft.net
Best wishes for you and your work -
Yours,
Jo and Gertrud
