I think it is an attitude in many cultures that is fundamentally damaging. Fundmental Islam or fundamental Christianity are both two glaring examples of the lack of desire to let others have differing beliefs while living harmoniously with these differing beliefs.
My own rancor against fundamental Christians stems from being forced, coerced or legislated to act in a way that "they" feel is the right way, completely dismissing my own beliefs, as if I'm not American enough to matter. Islamic ideals influence my world in much lesser fashion, but usually on the greater world stage (and certainly presented in a more "evil" light).
