He also has less of a point on other issues, as he wants to replace "Fundamentalist" with "religious extremist" in the broader sense outside Evangelical Fundamentalists who actually have sth directly to do with The Fundamentals or Chicago Statement of Faith.
Calling it, in general "religious extremism" is obviously a Commie or Atheist move. It's more of a prescriptive "don't do that, it's extreme, normal people don't do that" than descriptive. It's clearly an exonomym from people regarding themselves for some reason as non-religious.
"Fundamentalist" DOESN'T mean that!

1:33 You mean* the polar opposite of Evangelical Fundamentalism.
A Lutheran or Catholic "Fundamentalist" in the broader sense would obviously not rely on Scofield and therefore not necessarily be Zionist.
I quit Zionism over, as a Catholic seeking out fellow "Fundamentalists" (the actual term would be Traditionalists, Lefebvrians or ... as to laymen ... "faithful of the SSPX" ... SSPX as such is just the priests and religious: there are other Trad groups, like Conclavism too). A man outside St. Nicolas du Chardonnet sold a tract saying Palestinians are Israelites, which is correct on purely historic grounds.
Not sure exactly where the "Fundie" Augustana synod or Missouri synod stand among Lutherans on this issue, I was a sympathiser with them and without direct access too short to find out, but mainstream Swedish Lutherans have a connection to the Haredim (a modernist "priestess" mentioned she had been Sabbath goy and lit cigarettes for some), since Lutherans nowadays believe in cosplaying the OT as part of theological and sometimes catechetic education. A certain Greta Thunberg whose grandfather or greatgrandfather was a Swedish clergyman is famous for not being Zionist.
2:00 Your term "religious extremism" is also used about drastically different groups and on top of that more a term of rejection than of description.
It comes from a place I could describe as "religious extremism" in the religion of Evolutionism (which in its pure form, without syncretism with Christianity or Islam is called Atheism). But thanks for clearing up a Catholic Trad, an Evangelical actual Fundie, a Haredi Jew, a Salafi Muslim are NOT the same.
* He had mentioned Haredim often opposing Zionism.
