First, define the two words:
Fundamentalist
1. A usually religious movement or point of view characterized by a return to fundamental principles, by rigid adherence to those principles, and often by intolerance of other views and opposition to secularism.
2. extremist:
a person who holds extreme views
So, a fundamental extremist would be some who takes the basic teachings of Islam (or whatever religion) to the extreme.
So, these "terrorist " muslim, whom people call "fundamnetal extremists" are , by definition, taking Islam's BASIC teachings to the extreme. So, Islam DOES teach these BASIC prinicipals.
Were there ever any Judaism "fundamental extremists"?
Ill give you the Catholic Crusades, but are there any other christians who are "fundamental extremist?"
