I came across this page because under the heading of [[Gujarat]] I had written of Hindu fundamentalism, and I found what is there good so far as it goes.  I have added additional clarification to reflect normal usage, but I also wanted to add something to the Generic section, for which I do not have any references: it seems to me that "fundamentalism" is also used to refer to teachings which have no "scriptural" support.  For instance the Koran/Quran does not endorse intolerance of Judaism or Christianity, but many Muslim so-called fundamentalists do endorse it.  --[[User:Martin Wyatt|Martin Wyatt]] 21:13, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Why Christian?

Is not Salafism and Haredi Judaism fundamentalist? Howard C. Berkowitz 22:07, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Well, there is a distinciton between fundamentalism and Fundamentalism just as there is between lower-case and upper-case conservatism, communism, catholicism and so on. Every religion can have it's fundamentalists, but only Protestant Christianity has Fundamentalism. Perhaps we need some disambiguation. –Tom Morris 22:16, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I came across this page because under the heading of Gujarat I had written of Hindu fundamentalism, and I found what is here good so far as it goes. I have added additional clarification to reflect normal usage, but I also wanted to add something to the Generic section, for which I do not have any references: it seems to me that "fundamentalism" is also used to refer to teachings which have no "scriptural" support. For instance the Koran/Quran does not endorse intolerance of Judaism or Christianity, but many Muslim so-called fundamentalists do endorse it. --Martin Wyatt 21:13, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
