| | Fundamentalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Muslims believe that their religion was revealed by God (Allah in Arabic) to Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. | | | Fundamentalists claim both that they practice their religion as the first adherents did and that this is how religion should be practiced. | | | Fundamentalists justify this belief on the idea that the founders of the world's religions said and did things that were not written down; in other words, their original disciples knew things that we don't. |

| | Muslim fundamentalists believe that the only remedy for the growing threat of apostasy (the renunciation of Islam) is to establish states governed exclusively by the shari'a,the law of Allah, inscribed in the Holy Qur'an and in the hadith, or traditions, of the prophet Muhammad (A.D. 570-632), the founder of Islam. | | | Fundamentalists would say that they are only fulfilling sacred obligations; such fidelity to orthodoxy (correct religious belief) or orthopraxis (correct religious practice) may seem defiant and even scandalous, they acknowledge, to people who have compromised their religious identities by cooperating with nonbelievers for political or economic gain. | | | Muslim fundamentalists focus their rage first on lax members of the faith community itself and see the world as divided sharply between true believers and corrupt sinners. |

| | As modernists substituted western thought for the Islamic thought to which Muslims were accustomed, they narrowed their appeal to Muslims with arguments that seemed to underline their preference for ideologies other than Islam. | | | If the uneducated Muslim was unfamiliar with the science of Islamic law, he or she was even more unfamiliar with the western ideas modernists advocated. | | | As fundamentalists want to establish a state founded on the sunnah of the prophet as well as on the Quran, they do not, therefore, question the validity of the hadith considered authentic or encourage its reassessment. |

| | Terrorist activities apart, Islamic fundamentalists were aiming at a socio-political coalition of the Uttar Pradesh or Bihar-type in Tamil Nadu, revealed intelligence sources in Madras. | | | "The idea was to unite the Muslim community, and align it with the scheduled castes, then bargain with the existing political parties for a due share in social acceptability and electoral power," says the intelligence source handling fundamentalism as a fallout of the Coimbatore blasts case. | | | The source also has a word of caution: that over-doing of the 'fundamentalist and terrorist' news stories, particularly by a section of the Tamil media, could have adverse affects on the psyche of the Muslim community, at large. |

| | In May 1997, after complaints from a Muslim organization, Simon and Schuster recalled more than 4000 copies of a children’s book that portrayed the Prophet Muhammad as a perfume-loving, sword-wielding dictator who despised Jews and Christians and took pleasure in chopping off the heads of those who displeased him (all true, incidentally). | | | It seems the manuscript of Fregosi’s book was carefully examined by a minor British academic who has converted to Islam, and was found insulting to his newly adopted religion. | | | Paul Fregosi, the author of Jihad in the West, a history of Islamic Holy War in Europe from the 7th to the 20th centuries. |

| | Coming to Terms: Fundamentalists or Islamists? by Martin Kramer |
| | Among Muslim theologians there is as yet no such liberal or modernist approach to the Qur'an, and all Muslims, in their attitude to the text of the Qur'an, are in principle at least fundamentalists. | | | Rather, it was a synonym for the religion of the Muslims, which was then known in French as mahométisme, the religion professed and taught by the Prophet Muhammad. | | | Yet the Muslims whom these terms purport to describe are in constant motion, and their actions are sure to have an impact upon Western perceptions and the categories created in the West to explain them. |
