I would definately pick a Jewish fundamentalist (although I've never heard them called this...), especially around Passover. I find the prayers and rituals quite moving and deeply spiritual.
I must admit that I'd be too reluctent to spend time with a Muslim fundamentalist. I could handle an atheist -- it would be just like spending time with my father.

Atheist fundamentalist. I don't like Christian fundamentalists, I think they give us Christians a bad reputation. Muslim fundamentalist I don't even want to go near them and Jewish fundamentalist seems a little boring. I've never met an Atheist so I think it will be fun.

I am a Christian... and would enjoy an intelligent discussion and time of theological sharing with a Muslim fundamentalist. Why - because God's truth is absolute and He does not intend division among his holy people on earth, with such basis the discussion of theological differences may prove fruitful. Naturally I would find a Jewish fundamentalist interesting too... although Jesus' fulfillment of the OT is quite obvious, the issue of legalism and human tradition would be a heavily discussed topic.

hmm. Good question. I have often wondered about the label - I was thinking that it was similar to "ultra-orthodox" in the sense that BigMedia uses it to indicate someone that they don't agree with, someone who follows the doctrine to the letter, with little if any wiggle room.
I have lived in close contact with people like that in the Christian, Atheist, and Jewish groups. As a female, I would be uncomfortable with male Muslim fundamentalists, and it is likely that the females would be uncomfortable with me. However, if I can't chose my own...and I know how I feel about the others...can I get an etc. fundie?
mm, I know. Hindu. I had a friend whose parents were most unhappy with him because he was not maintaining their traditions, yet they thought I was nigh unto perfect (apparently I maintained their traditions without knowing it). Or maybe a Shinto fundamentalist - I do revere my ancestors, though not as gods...

I would want to spend my time with an atheist fundie, because we would spend the time watching hockey, having a beer and discussing the latest Hollywood news, or whose the Best singer on American Idol.

Atheist fundamentalist - if there is such a thing.
I like the argument - 'yes there is', 'no there isn't', yes there is', 'no there isn't' -
I'm sure it would evolve (devolve) into 'I know you are, but what am I' -
Eventually we would become friends, have cookies and play tether ball, I'm sure of it!

A Mormon fundamentalist. If I have to listen to extremist rantings, at least Mormons tend to be very pleasant people.

Jewish. Just cause I have the least experience with them in my real life. Plus, the dietary stuff would be interesting to me.
