| Â | The term Fundamentalism in Christianity and Islam |
 | | Fundamentalist Christians typically believe that the Bible is inspired by God and is inerrant. | | | Instead, the fundamentalist wings of major world religions, including Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, have grown and become increasingly dedicated to preserving religious tradition. | | | Within Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and other faiths, the media generally use the term to refer to the most conservative wing of the religion. |

| Â | There are no moderates: dealing with fundamentalist Iran By Daniel Pipes |
| | Fundamentalist Islam, which is more political than religious, considers all other political systems as inferior and it calls on all Muslim faithful to join in building a new society. | | | Islam is an ancient faith and capacious civilization; fundamentalist Islam is a narrow, aggressive twentieth-century ideological movement. | | | Islam is not democracy, Islam is Islam."(8) Or, in the famous (if not completely verified) words of `Ali Belhadj, a leader of Algeria's Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), "When we are in power, there will be no more elections because God will be ruling."(9) |

| | While Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all claim to worship the same god, each religion has different beliefs. | | | Foremost among them is Pascal Boyer, whose book, Religion Explained, lays out the basics of his theory, and attempts to refute several previous and more simple explanations for the phenomenon of religion. | | | Many religions have been deeply influenced by charismatic leaders, such as Jesus Christ, Adi Sankara, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekanada, Sai Baba, Muhammad, Gautama Buddha, etc. These leaders may be the central teacher in the religion, like Muhammad, Jesus or Gautama. |

| | Islam is a religion of art and science and peace, right? | | | ...Islam is religious fascism, and it is only a feeble-minded political correctness that prevents it from being recognised as such. | | | It is because Islam declares itself to be the only true religion, which has the duty to dominate all other faiths, and eventually abolish them. |

| | Key figures in the Islamic modernist movement included Jamal al-Din al-Afghani (1839-1897), an advocate for reform within Pan-Islamism and many Muslim countries; Muhammad ‘Abduh (1849-1905) an Egyptian reformer and theologian; Rashid Rida (1865-1935); and Muhammad Iqbal (1876-1938), the philosopher and poet who helped begin the concept of Pakistan. | | | In the second place, he bridged, at least temporarily, the widening gap between the traditional learning and the new rationalism introduced from the west, and made it possible for the Muslim graduate to reconcile his views on science and religion in intellectual integrity. | | | In this second case study, I will look at the way in which Muhammad ‘Abduh was challenged by Western ideas of modernity and how he strove to relate Islamic culture and modernism. |

| Â | Islam - Washington's New Dilemma - Middle East Quarterly - March 1996 |
| | The government should reexamine three key distinctions: between Islam the religion and Islam the political doctrine; between moderate and extremist fundamentalists; and between socioeconomics and ideology. | | | I share his conviction that Islam can be a powerful force for tolerance and moderation in the world, and that its traditional values -- devotion to family and to society, to faith and good works -- are in harmony with the best of Western ideals. | | | Washington should distinguish the traditional religion of Islam from the radical political applications of fundamentalists. |

| Â | Tolerating Intolerance: The Challenge of Fundamentalist Islam in Western Europe |
| | A Western society that accepted such a religion as its spiritual component would soon prove itself highly inhospitable to, among much else, any of LeBor’s fellow writers who might wish to dissent from his unadulterated admiration for fundamentalist Islam. | | | Like Christian Reconstructionists, a small U.S. sect that wishes to make harsh Old Testament punishments the law of the land, fundamentalist Muslims–whose numbers are, of course, many times larger–believe firmly in the implementation of scriptural penalties. | | | To be sure, there were plenty of books about Islam and the West, but I could find only a handful about Islam in the West. |

| Â | City Journal Spring 2004 When Islam Breaks Down by Theodore Dalrymple |
| | Islam, with no separate, secular sphere where inquiry could flourish free from the claims of religion, if only for technical purposes, was hopelessly left behind: as, several centuries later, it still is. | | | To be sure, fundamentalist Islam will be very dangerous for some time to come, and all of us, after all, live only in the short term; but ultimately the fate of the Church of England awaits it. | | | Unlike Christianity, which had to spend its first centuries developing institutions clandestinely and so from the outset clearly had to separate church from state, Islam was from its inception both church and state, one and indivisible, with no possible distinction between temporal and religious authority. |

| | It is especially irritating when the familiar denigrations of fundamentalist Islam figure among the world problems but the well established literature on promotive Islamic contemporary alternatives are not introduced as balance. | | | In many entries which refer to religious ideas the compilers refer solely to the New Model Religion, as if it originated without reference to exactly the same sources, as their curiously biased depictions of orthodox religion. | | | Islam is virtually unrepresented in the encyclopedia, which given its overall conception of embracing complexity is definitely a major failing. |
