		Fundamentalists, by contrast, want to change the behavior of nonbelievers as well as believers; therefore, they strive to change the laws and structures of society that impede their mission of opposing the godless and converting the nonbeliever.
		Fundamentalists also tend to be antifeminist because they believe that the movement for women's liberation from patriarchy (a society ruled by men) violates the will of God (Allah, Yahveh) who created males and females for different roles, with women destined to be subordinated to men in society and in the home.
		Fundamentalists would say that they are only fulfilling sacred obligations; such fidelity to orthodoxy (correct religious belief) or orthopraxis (correct religious practice) may seem defiant and even scandalous, they acknowledge, to people who have compromised their religious identities by cooperating with nonbelievers for political or economic gain.

	Hindu Fundamentalism: Does It Really Exist? (Repost) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Fundamentalists are literalists in these traditions who hold rigidly to their beliefs and insist that since their religion alone is true that other religions should not be tolerated, particularly in the lands where members of their religion are in a majority.
		Fundamentalists also generally hold to their religion's older social customs, and refuse to integrate into the broader stream of modern society which recognizes the freedom of belief.
		Islamic fundamentalists consider that Islam is the only true religion, that no true new faith can be established after Islam and that with the advent of Islam all previous faiths became outdated.

	AlterNet: A Mystery of Misogyny
		Fundamentalists may claim that the sequestration and covering of women serves to "protect" the weaker, more rape-prone sex.
		The mystery of fundamentalist misogyny deepens when you consider that the anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist Third World movements of forty or fifty years ago were, for the most part, at least officially committed to women's rights.
		The only trouble with this explanation is that the fundamentalists have been otherwise notably selective in their rejection of the "modern." The nineteen terrorists of September 11 studied aviation and communicated with each other by e-mail.

	'Islamic fundamentalists float front companies to secure funds for militant activities' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Islamic fundamentalists living in Britain have established a network of front companies and bogus societies to work undetected for Muslim militants operating in Kashmir and other places abroad, Sunday Telegraph said.
		It has strong links with Islamic militants in Kashmir, Chechnya and Afghanistan, many of which are regarded as terrorist organisations by security sources in the West.
		The existence of the company will seriously embarrass council officials, who closed a Muslim college in 1995 on the same industrial park after they discovered that it was linked to Sheikh Mohammed, who has admitted that the company does not trade and that it is effectively acting as a front for him and his supporters.

	Institute for the Secularisation of Islamic Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		We believe that Islamic society has been held back by an unwillingness to subject its beliefs, laws and practices to critical examination, by a lack of respect for the rights of the individual, and by an unwillingness to tolerate alternative viewpoints or to engage in constructive dialogue.
		In a theocracy of the type that Islamic fundamentalists wish to establish, sovereignty belongs to god, but in a democracy sovereignty belongs to the people.
		We therefore favor the firm separation of religion and state: without such a separation there can be no freedom from tyranny, and such a separation is the sine qua non for a secular state.
