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) | |||

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.
