Fundamentalism usually has a religious connotation that indicates
unwavering attachment to a set of irreducible beliefs. However,
fundamentalism has come to be applied to a tendency among certain
groups â€" mainly, although not exclusively, in religion â€" that is
characterized by a markedly strict literalism as it is applied to
certain specific scriptures, dogmas, or ideologies, and a strong sense
of the importance of maintaining ingroup and outgroup distinctions,
leading to an emphasis on purity and the desire to return to a
previous ideal from which advocates believe members have strayed.
Rejection of diversity of opinion as applied to these established
"fundamentals" and their accepted interpretation within the group
often results from this tendency.Depending upon the context, the label
"fundamentalism" can be a pejorative rather than a neutral
characterization, similar to the ways that calling political
perspectives "right-wing" or "left-wing" can have negative
connotations.Buddhist fundamentalism has targeted other religious and
ethnic groups, as in Myanmar. A Buddhist-dominated country, Myanmar
has seen tensions between Muslim minorities and the Buddhist majority,
especially during the 2013 Burma anti-Muslim riots (alleged[by whom?]
to have been instigated by hardline groups such as the 969 Movement.)
and in actions associated with the Rohingya genocide (2016 onwards). Fundamentalism Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
