When fundamentalists issue a fatwa against all humanist-American
citizens, bomb several embassies, put up a bounty of $50,000 for each
homicide bomber who kills secular humanists for the cause, assassinate
reporters, and fly several airliners into major buildings, they you can
make a reasonable case that they are a morally equivalent threat.
Until that happens they are just a bunch of wackos beating their wives
and kids and promulgating ignorance, i.e. no different than alleged
'moderate' muslims who abhor radical islam.
