In defence of Islamic fundamentalism - Maulana Nadeem-ul-Wajedi

What is Religious Fundamentalism?

By Maulana Nadeem-ul-Wajedi

The same scholar criticizes not only the Muslim preachers but also the scholars of other religions. He is very hostile to the verdict of the church which says that the lady who has performed “Karwa Chauth” according to the Hindu religious customs, has lost Christianity, hence she has no right to pray as a Christian, unless she seeks pardon. The scholar thinks that putting on a “Bindi” on the forehead, participating in the offering of “coconut”, touching the feet of a religious head and saying “Namaste” with folded hands are all the acts of human fraternity essential for communal harmony, and prohibiting from all these un-Islamic acts is religious fundamentalism, extremism and fanaticism.
