One entry found for fundamentalism. Main Entry: fun�da�men�tal�ism Pronunciation: -t&l-"i-z&m Function: noun 1 a often capitalized : a movement in 20th century Protestantism emphasizing the literally interpreted Bible as fundamental to Christian life and teaching b : the beliefs of this movement c : adherence to such beliefs 2 : a movement or attitude stressing strict and literal adherence to a set of basic principles - fun�da�men�tal�ist /-t&l-ist/ noun - fundamentalist or fun�da�men�tal�is�tic /-"men-t&l-'is-tik/ adjective Main Entry: ex�trem�ism Pronunciation: ik-'strE-"mi-z&m Function: noun 1 : the quality or state of being extreme 2 : advocacy of extreme political measures : RADICALISM - ex�trem�ist /-mist/ noun or adjective These are the differences. they have no imlication on Islam these are both two separate ways of thought and interpretation on a specific belief. So here is my answer |

As Israfil points out, in the US fundamentalism refers to a christian belief that the bible is literally correct in every word. I might point out that US fundamentalists believe this even tho few if any read the Greek that the bible was written in, let alone the 2000 year old Greek whose literalness may be different. I might also point out that US fundamentalists draw some very extraordinary conclusions from these words, conclusions that astound many other people. A popular conclusion is that the world will end soon: in our lifetimes! But I've been hearing this for 60 years so it no longer frightens me. In France people often mention 'fundamentalists' when speaking about the (mostly Algerian) muslims living there who are responsible for bomb threats, etc. The common French seem not to like muslims at all, but only ascribe criminality to 'fundamentalists'.
