While I do agree with you to the certain degree - I'd add a side note that the movement does not share a single dogma nor there's a body that could lay down one. Rastafari as a movement is splintered into smaller sects (or houses or mansions as they are references within the movement) - each one holding varying views of what ever topic at hand. And as you pointed out some of them are not very friendly - that's always the case when fundamentalism enters the picture. But that said, I would personally argue that statement that the "whole movement" or every "rasfafari" falls into your assumption is 100% not true. On comparison - If I'd point out that every christian in States is fundamental lunatic there would be people wanting to lynch me. And just to point out; this is purely anecdata on my own behalf. I've been in contact with various people / mansions for past 33 years and i am "officially" part one of the biggest / global houses but i dont really go under that banner anymore because of the fundamental views of some people within those circles make me sick. But its still not the whole movement.
