Literally, the term fundamentalism means sticking to principles and high morals.
However, the term 'Islamic fundamentalism' is a new term introduced to the Islamic vocabulary by non Muslims as a term associated with terrorism. This is term is propagated as such by the Westerners and by Media to give the impression, intentionally although wrongly, that those who sticks to the fundamentals and principles of Islam are terrorists and are against modern values and civilizations..
The main goals of any Islamic fundamentalist, and basically any Muslim, per Islam religion, are:
- Submission to God, the one and only one God
- performing ritual worships per the five pillars of Islam and Islam principles.
- Following the Islam guides and morals per God commands in Quran and per Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) teachings.
- Doing good deeds for the community, society, nature, and mankind
- Calling people for worship of God, the one and only one God with no partner, no son, no companion, no associate and no resemblance.
Allah created humankind to worship Him and care for His creation.
Allah says in the Holy Qur'an:
In the Name of Allah:
And they have been commanded no more than this: to worship Allah, offering Him sincere devotion, being true (in faith); to establish regular prayer; and to practice regular charity; and that is the religion right and straight. [98:5] Refer to the related question below for more relevant information
