   as i already said 'Fudamentalist' who completely believes in the whole Islamic system. When the Americans say 'we are on war within Islam' that within is what they call fundamentalist/radicals are those who believes in Islam as complete system of life. There's no confusion brother 'Fundamentalist' is the right word!

	"Fundamentalist" as a religious term in America has been used for over a century to describe Christian Anabaptist sects who believe the entire religion was hopelessly corrupted and proceeded to reinvent their own Christianity from whole cloth. They are also known for procrustean judgements, and the reliance on legalistic readings of scripture. "Orthodox" is a better term than "fundamentalist" in English in your case. Sticking with that term will help avoid confusion. DavidC

	As'salam o Alaiqum! hope everyone is doing well! we must not be ashamed of ourself being called a " fundamentalist" normally fundamentalism is mixed with extremism/terrorism. A fundametalist is the one who believes in complete islamic system(economic system, social system,political system) what has happened overtime that , sure we do say our prayers, we fast too and yes we also go for Hajj but we have forgotten that Islam has given us a complete system.This has led to the down fall of muslim ummah! America doesn't have problems with our prayers, instead of saying 5 times say 50 times no problem! fast for more than 30 days thats all fine! but u don't talk about the "Islamic System",if u talk about it , America will be after u for simple reason, it clashes with their capitalistic system! and everyone knows over years it has been the clashes between systems! the last one was socialist vs capitalist. okay now terrorism! israel's state terrorism in palestine, india's state terrorism in kashmir & russia's state terrorism in chechnya r simple examples of terrorism. Extremism! bajrangdal, RSS. etc in india r examples of extremism, they r just butchering muslims in india and the sectarian violence in pakistan over the last few years is also the example of extremism.( Alhamdulilah things r much better now) it's my humble request to not mix fundamentalism with terrorism/extremism. My writing above is based on the lectures/juma khutabas of a renonwed religious scholar! take care & Allah Hafiz. imran. Edited by imran1976
