Description
Summary:The mindsets in understanding the teaching of a religion vary greatly among individuals or group of people, which are influenced by their prominent figures and books they read. As a result, conservative, moderate, and liberal mindsets can be found in society. In the last few years, people were surprised by the emergence of religious groups, especially in Islam, which tend to be conservative, irrational, and often using violence to defend their belief. This phenomenon seems to be the opposite of this modern era which tries to promote freedom in religion and behavior. This article discusses the history of the term "fundamentalism", how it refers to a certain movement in Islam which tends to destroy the characteristics of Islam as "rahmatan lil 'alamin" (bless to universe). In addition, the term "fundamentalism" has some changes in meaning so that it is necessary to study what fundamentalism really means, the background, how it works, and how to treat it.
