Talk:Islamic fundamentalism

minor change to preserve npov

I have made a very minor change in the Social and Political Goals section to avoid the assertion that "leftist ideologies" and "Arab Nationalism" are in fact discredited (I care not one whit whether anyone believes they are or are not but it's not consistent with neutral point of view to maintain they are while there is rational dispute).

This article name should be changed from "Islamic Fundamentalism" to "Islamic Extremism"

As a christian, i can't help but notice how the term "fundamentalist" is missused in this website, fundamentalism is a christian concept, not an islamic one, fundamentalism has also nothing to do with hyperliteralism, extremism, legalism, right-wing politics or the satanic panic, it just means believing in Biblical inerrancy and opposing liberal theology.(which has nothing to do with liberalism in the political sense)

As such, in order to not muddle the waters this article should have it's name changed to "Islamic Extremism" because fundamentalism is a christian word. 177.37.150.86 (talk) 20:29, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Islamic extremism and Jihadism are separate pages. What needs to happen is material not mentioning fundamentalism itself, or simply muddling these different topics, needs to be removed. Iskandar323 (talk) 15:37, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

fortunately, definitions are not set by your standards Führeriousgentile (talk) 18:34, 4 April 2025 (UTC)

That makes no sense. Fundamentalism is a phenomenon seen in almost all religions. Even If the term was created to describe a Christian concept, today It refers to any religious vertent vertent that strictly adhers to a dogma and reject modernism or unortodox interpretation of their religion's doctrine. Besides, islamic extremism is already a page. Go be a Christian somewhere Else before violating the NPOV. ~2026-13258-92 (talk) 19:15, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

oh, what i meant in the last line was that as Wikipedians, we should priorize the NPOV over ideology or religion, not that Christianity is bad or anything in that Sense. Sorry If It sounded ofensive or too sharp ~2026-13258-92 (talk) 19:27, 7 March 2026 (UTC)
