Following their polite conversation —and not knowing that the microphone was still on— the prime minister calls the elderly woman he just met bigoted and complains that his staff should have kept her away.
Die Eerste Minister het so pas ’n beleefde gesprek gevoer met ’n bejaarde vrou wat hy kort tevore ontmoet het. Onbewus van die feit dat sy mikrofoon nog aangeskakel is, noem hy haar verkramp en kla hy dat sy personeel haar moes weggehou het.

I had no idea that he was a self-proclaimed bigot.
Ek het geen idee gehad dat hy ’n selferkende rassis is nie.

But it is not just bigots, extremists, and fanatics who are to blame.
Maar die skuld lê nie net by godsdiensdwepers, ekstremiste en fanatici nie.

16 The answer was: “No; otherwise Jesus Christ was a bigoted persecutor of the Jews, . . . and all of Jehovah’s prophets of ancient times [including Jeremiah] before Jesus were persecutors and bigots, for they all exposed the false religion of apostate Jews and of the heathen nations.”
16 Die antwoord was: “Nee; anders was Jesus Christus ’n dweepsieke vervolger van die Jode, . . . en was al Jehovah se profete van die ou tye [Jeremia inkluis] voor Jesus vervolgers en dwepers, want hulle het almal die valse godsdiens van afvallige Jode en van die heidense nasies aan die kaak gestel.”

It was not this, however, that distressed poor old Corky, for he was not bigoted and had no objection to the man going on living.
Dit was nie, maar dat benoud arme ou Corky, want hy was nie bevooroordeelde en het geen beswaar teen die man aan die gang op die lewende.

Many humane and sincere scientists have been horrified by the way that some violent bigots have used the evolution theory to support their racist aims.
Talle mensliewende en opregte wetenskaplikes was al geskok oor die manier waarop party gewelddadige fanatici die evolusieteorie gebruik het om steun te verleen aan hulle rassistiese doeleindes.

Relatively few people today are so openly bigoted and aggressive in their outlook.
Betreklik min mense is vandag so openlik bevooroordeeld en aggressief in hulle beskouing.

8 A North American editorialist wrote: “It takes a bigoted and paranoid imagination to believe that the Jehovah’s Witnesses pose any kind of threat to any political regime; they are as non-subversive and peace-loving as a religious body can be.”
8 ’n Noord-Amerikaanse redakteur het geskryf: “’n Mens moet ’n bekrompe en paranoïese verbeelding hê om te glo dat Jehovah se Getuies enige gevaar vir enige politieke regime inhou; hulle is so nie-ondermynend en vredeliewend as wat ’n godsdiensorganisasie maar kan wees.”

In fact, those who think otherwise are often viewed as narrow-minded, even bigoted.
Trouens, diegene wat nie hierdie siening het nie, word dikwels beskou as bekrompe, selfs bevooroordeeld.

◆ When writing about the treatment of Jehovah’s Witnesses in a Latin American land, an editorial in the Omaha, Nebraska, U.S.A., “World-Herald” said: “It takes a bigoted and paranoid imagination to believe that the Jehovah’s Witnesses pose any kind of threat to any political regime; they are as non-subversive and peace-loving as a religious body can be, and ask only to be left alone to pursue their faith in their own way.”
◆ Waar die “World-Herald” van Omaha, Nebraska, VSA, in ’n hoofartikel oor die behandeling van Jehovah se Getuies in ’n Latyns-Amerikaanse land geskryf het, het dit gesê: “Dit verg ’n bekrompe en paranoïese verbeelding om te glo dat Jehovah se Getuies enige bedreiging vir enige politieke regime inhou; hulle is so nieondermynend en vredeliewend soos ’n godsdiensliggaam maar kan wees en vra slegs om met rus gelaat te word sodat hulle hul geloof op hul eie manier kan uitleef.”

Since nobody likes to be called narrow, bigoted, or sectarian, not all agree on who is a fundamentalist and who is not.
Aangesien niemand daarvan hou om eng, bekrompe of kleingeestig genoem te word nie, stem nie almal saam oor wie fundamentaliste is en wie nie is nie.
