| | Islamic fundamentalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Islamic fundamentalism thus describes an Islamic conservatism which forms part of the spectrum of modern Islamic societies. | | | This indicates that fundamentalism may best be regarded as a kind of conservatism which finds expression in a religious context. | | | It describes the beliefs of traditional Muslims; that they should restrict themselves to literal and traditional interpretations of their sacred texts, the Qur'an and Sunnah (since they view these as "fundamental" to Islam). |

| | Esposito: Fumdamentalism |
| | Islamic law, the Shar'iah, was rooted in divine revelation, the Qur`an, and Sunna (example, or model behaviour, of the Prophet). | | | Contemporary Islamic fundamentalism has manifested itself in personal and political life, from greater emphasis on religious observances such as prayer, fasting, Islamic dress, and family values to the reassertion of Islam in politics. | | | Islamic activists believe that religion is integral to every aspect of life: prayer, fasting, politics, law, and society. |

| | JI: Fundamentalism and Islamic Movement |
| | The Islamic movements do not believe to be fundamentalists in the sense that ‘some’ religious preachings and tenets are basic and that new structuring should be done only on those foundations. | | | If fundamentalism means that one accepts Islam as the main (and only) source of guidance, and that keeping in view the present day demands and without reservations, he puts his humble share in establishing a system according to the letter and spirit of that guidance, then he should be proud of that. | | | We desire that the Islamic message of faith and peace is accepted and made the core of all matters. |

| | Islamic fundamentalism |
| | Hence the fundamental principles of Islam were considered by Qutb to consist in their delineation of God's divinity as well as human servitude in carrying out the tenets of the message as handed down to the seal of the prophets, Muhammad. | | | According to Islamic fundamentalism, the essential nature of human beings is religious and atheism is an aberration. | | | While Islamic fundamentalism rejects the atomist theory of orthodox Muslim theologians, it retains the idea of God as the real cause of events (see Islamic theology). |

| | Halim Noujaim - Islamic Fundamentalism in Palestine |
| | Islamic Fundamentalism tends to be more religious than racial because Islam is a religion for all people and nations, as well as for the entire human race. | | | The Islamic religion does not distinguish between Religion and state. | | | Universities of Islamic inspiration are multiplying in the Gaza Strip and the Occupied Territories and the number of students who now study religious Islamic culture is about 15% of the total student population or about 2500 students. |

| | Shades of Islamic Fundamentalism |
| | In Islam, in particular, fundamentalism is a modern form that seeks to restore the Islamic law with the political instruments of the 20th century. | | | But this is a methodological attitude, which doesn't mean at all to reduce religion or fundamentalism to a phenomenon that has predominantly economic motivations. | | | The conservative position -- in which, quantitatively, the majority of the population in the world that declares itself religious is classified -- does not accept either the radical separation of the Enlightenment or the fundamental fusion of religion and culture. |

| | By the Divine decree in the Qur'an and according to the Sunnah of the Prophet(p), Shura is the fundamental principle of polity in Islam. | | | The term fundamentalism is almost exclusively used in the context of religion. | | | This is the message that the "Islamic fundamentalists" are trying to convey to their rulers, and to those who are leading the non-Muslim world. |

| | God's Warrior Twins Christian & Islamic Fundamentalism have a lot in common |
| | The one-in some cases only-difference between Christian and Islamic theocrats is their use of the Bible, versus the Koran, to justify an oppressive ideology or holy war With approximately 400 militia-type groups in the US, and Christian identity believers alone numbering in the range of 40,000, the implications are profound. | | | Not all fundamentalisms, nor all fundamentalists within a particular religion, are identical. | | | A chief similarity between Christian and Islamic fundamentalists is their patriarchal family structure and victimization of women. |

| | But despite the growing perception in this country that Islamic fundamentalism poses a threat to the United States, many Americans have only a minimal understanding of who Islamic fundamentalists are, what they believe and why their ranks continue to grow. | | | Context, say scholars, is everything, and the political and economic climate that pertains in many Muslim countries, particularly in the Middle East, fuels Islamist movements that go beyond respect and reverence for the Islamic religion to adopt Islam as a political strategy or that refer to Islamic principles in calling for social and political reforms. | | | In fact, most Islamic fundamentalists have much in common with their Christian counterparts, both perceiving reality through an interpretation of scripture that they view as inerrant. |
