Is Fundamentalism (or specific versions of it) Hateful?

Below is an excerpt from the short AU news blurb on "'Death Prayers' Are Legal, Texas Judge Rules"

"According to the suit, Klingenschmitt urged his followers to pray for the destruction of Weinstein’s Military Religious Freedom Foundation. He used Psalm 109, an 'imprecatory' prayer text that calls for the death of an enemy and curses for his family....Klingenschmitt’s attorney John Whitehead praised the April 2 decision, saying that banning these types of prayers could force the shuttering of 'half the churches, synagogues and mosques in this country.'"

Is it me or did Klingenschmitt's lawyer just admit that their brand of Christianity is hateful by its very nature?
