religious fundamentalism and extremism

Religious fundamentalism refers to a strict adherence to the core beliefs and principles of a particular religion, often in an uncompromising and literal manner. It involves an emphasis on traditional interpretations of religious texts and resistance to modern beliefs or practices. On the other hand, religious extremism refers to the adoption of radical views and actions, driven by an extreme interpretation of religious teachings, that advocate intolerance, violence, or the imposition of a specific religious ideology on others. It involves a departure from mainstream beliefs and a willingness to use extreme measures, including terrorism, to further religious objectives.
