Basically, fundamentalism is a modern phenomenon. In the same way that Hitler evoked a mythological religion of German purity and the glory of the past, the Islamists use religion to evoke emotions and passions in people who have been oppressed for a long time in order to reach their purpose.

Fundamentalism is such a pejorative word and immediately evokes images of angry extremism. In my experience, that's not usually what it looks like. I was a fundamentalist in high school.

There are a certain number of extreme behaviours led by fundamentalists who are using their religion for political ends and use extremist techniques.

I'm opposed to fundamentalism in any form.

One thing that I noticed is having met some former Taliban is even they, as children, grew up being indoctrinated. They grew up in violence. They grew up in war. They were taught to hate. They were, they grew up in very ignorant cultures where they didn't learn about the outside world.

Our enemy is hatred - the hatred inherent in fundamentalism.

Nobody can deny there is a rise of Islamic fundamentalism.

It is necessary to name the enemy of human civilization, and this enemy is international terrorism associated with religious fundamentalism and religious intolerance.

I don't believe in any kind of fundamentalism.

I think a fundamentalist is somebody who believes something unshakably and isn't going to change their mind.
