Islamic Fundamentalism

You believe in establishing a society governed by strict adherence to Islamic principles and laws, ultimately creating a unified and morally upright community.

Islamic Fundamentalism is a political ideology that seeks to return to the foundational principles and practices of Islam, as interpreted by its adherents. It is characterized by a strict adherence to the Quran and the Hadiths (sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad), and a belief in the implementation of Sharia law. Islamic Fundamentalists often reject modern interpretations of Islam and secular influences, viewing them as corrupting forces. They believe that the solution to the problems facing Muslim societies lies in a return to the fundamentals of the faith.

If you could only select leaders who embody religious principles, how might that shape your view on leadership?

 @9JHY7PL from Missouri  answered…2yrs2Y

More people would follow a certain religion, or at least pretend to, to abide by leader.

 @9JHY9MLIndependent from Hawaii  answered…2yrs2Y

Unconstitutional and unfit for service. I do not trust authority with anyone who uses religion to garner shpport. Religious beliefs are personal.

 @9JHXTY9 from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

I would associate leaders as deity figures, only to mistakenly idolize them.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would your friendships be affected if you had very different religious beliefs?

 @9HXGQBKPeace and Freedom from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

Nothing would change , my best friend has a different belief but as long we both support each other it’s fine

 @9J2DRCNRepublican from Oregon  agreed…2yrs2Y

I find I unreasonable to hate someone for religious beliefs. I don't believe in the Christian faith, but I wouldn't never dislike someone for their belief in it.

 @9HXFX2D from Kansas  answered…2yrs2Y

i would still accept them even if we had differnt believes

 @9HXG2NVDemocrat from Maryland  answered…2yrs2Y

They wouldn't. I am inclusive and accepting of all religions.

 @9HXFY5B from Indiana  answered…2yrs2Y

As long as discussion about it was kept to a minimum, it would not affect my friendship much.

 @9HY8QNR from Arizona  agreed…2yrs2Y

If the difference in our religions was all we talked about, then I would not find the friendship to be too enjoyable.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If your fashion choices were influenced by traditional values, how would that affect your self-expression?

 @9JJ2D2M from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

Me personally, it would not affect me. I understand that respecting ones religion is a very important thing to do and if my religion required me to wear specific clothing then I would.

 @9JK82CD from Arizona  agreed…2yrs2Y

I think goverment proceedings should be followed like if you are in a govermant building or during the pledge of allegiance any religious clothing covering the head should be removed.

 @9JJ2ZZJWomen’s Equality from New Mexico  answered…2yrs2Y

I don't care AT ALL what you do with your religions, just as long as you don't pretend you can force it on other people.

 @9JHZZ4GIndependent from Nevada  answered…2yrs2Y

Quite a lot, clothes are one of the few things we can control about our self.

 @9JJ2P5HProgressive from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

I do not believe that any person should be forced to adhere to any form of religion or religious practice. If a person wants to dress themselves in a way that aligns with Islamic Fundamentalism, then that's fine. If they don't, they shouldn't have to. If your fashion choices were influenced by traditional values, they may be limited, but this is a matter of personal opinion and personal choice.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you had the power to enact one religious practice as law in your community, what would it be and why?

 @9J6MGHNanswered…2yrs2Y

Government shouldn't be based off religion but based of morals.

 @9J87JDZ  from California  agreed…2yrs2Y

In my opinion religion is subjective. I think that if we base our politics off of something subjective there will be too much room for corruption.

 @55HJKYL answered…2yrs2Y

If I had the power, I would not make law of any religious practice. Religious practices should be chosen freely. Man's law should be inspired by and drawn from God's law, but religion should be absolutely free, or it defeats the purpose.
Hypothetically, if you were to *force* me to choose one religious practice that had to be enforced, I would say going to church every Sunday. In my mind that's sort of the bare minimum religious requirement, and not that hard to do.

 @9J6MFKSWomen’s Equality from Kentucky  answered…2yrs2Y

Mixed fellings, I feel that if they do like to yk kill people than no let them be broke,bus if they are cailm people than yea give them some money.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you witnessed an act that went against both religious traditions and your personal ethics, how would you react?

 @9JGJS7N from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

I don’t understand the question so I can’t sincerely answer it.

 @9JHR9MBdisagreed…2yrs2Y

Everyone has morals and knows how they would feel, plus most people know their own personality of whether they would speak up or not.

 @9JGK45S from Louisiana  answered…2yrs2Y

I'd be against it and stand up for what I believe in.

 @9JGK43V from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

I would voice my opinion and concerns but depending on where it occurred depends on the power I have to act on what I witnessed.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How would you personally feel about living under a government that strictly enforces religious laws?

 @9H52FH7 from Utah  answered…3yrs3Y

There are different religions around the world, and people should have the freedom to practice the religion they want to.

 @9H526T7 from Utah  answered…3yrs3Y

It would be unfair, not everyone verbally or physically shows their religion and may not even have one.

 @9H52G79 from Indiana  answered…3yrs3Y

I would feel like a prisoner with no purpose in life

 @9H52JC2Democrat from Washington  answered…3yrs3Y

People should be able to practice any religion they want as well as others not being forced to partake in that practice.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

If your government based its foreign policy strictly on religious doctrine, how would you feel about your country's place in the international community?

 @9HG8T6X from Tennessee  answered…3yrs3Y

i feel like our government would be kinda in the middle, there are so many types of people in the US that there are many types of religions

 @9HG8X7QConstitution from Georgia  answered…3yrs3Y

We should be separate from other countries. Although I do support Islam and respect it as a an abrahamic religion

 @9HG8WRS from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

Bad they shouldn't get involved with other peoples problems unless it is big

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Can there be a middle ground between upholding religious principles and embracing the diversity of modern lifestyles?

 @9HG262R from New Jersey  answered…3yrs3Y

No, all religions are founded upon archaic ideologies that poorly translate to the modern day.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

To what extent should religion influence the laws and policies of a country?

 @9H7XBBXProgressive from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

Religion should not influence the laws and policies of a country.

 @9H7Y76Fanswered…3yrs3Y

We should follow the separation of church and state.

 @9H7XTNJ from Missouri  answered…3yrs3Y

I belive that is very imporant and should be taken seriously.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What lessons have you learned from religious teachings that you find universally applicable, even for non-believers?

 @9HXH6NN from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

No murder, being kind and accepting of everyone, no unhealthy of extreme use of alcohol or drugs, being faithful to your partner.

 @9HXGMLPanswered…2yrs2Y

Using violence for your relgion makes it look bad.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Would you support a system where religious leaders have significant political power, and why or why not?

 @9HJ96W2 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

No, People like Charles Manson get political power next thing you know the Holocaust is happening again.

 @9HHT42G from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes if it is that cultural belief however they shouldnt have all the power

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How important do you think it is for younger generations to follow religious traditions in today's increasingly globalized society?

 @9HLDDFF from Arkansas  answered…3yrs3Y

If you want to you can but you shouldn't be forced too nor should you be punished for being religious

 @9HLD7FX from Ohio  answered…3yrs3Y

I do not believe it to be super important but one can do what they feel is best for them.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How do you think your day-to-day life would change if your country's laws were based on religious texts?

 @9HGPTBN from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

It would for sure not be the same, in a more negative way.

 @9HGPSPN from Alaska  answered…3yrs3Y

As a gay person I wouldn't feel safe in a religious-based system.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What are your thoughts on the use of modern technologies in a society that values traditional religious practices?

 @9HCXSH9 from Utah  answered…3yrs3Y

as long as it doesn't impact people who don't believe negatively

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Imagine if religious authorities were to dictate the types of video games or social media platforms permissible—what would be your response?

 @9HGJMS8 from North Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

I think it is terrible to restrict peoples access to art and media, alongside the destruction of art.

 @9HGHXKGanswered…3yrs3Y

I would read or play the game to see what it is all about and then see what I would do

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you balance being open about your religious beliefs while being respectful to those with differing views?

 @9HYMDW5 from Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

Catholicism is the only true religion. All others are false and anathema.

  @9CJ6CB6 from Virginia  commented…2yrs2Y

That’s.. a narcissistic thought, what’s the reasoning for that being true?

 @9HYMRGN from California  answered…2yrs2Y

You shouldn't have to restrict your religious beliefs or views for the comfort of others.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How might your personal goals and ambitions change if they had to align with the teachings of a conservative society?

 @9JSGCNBanswered…2yrs2Y

not much really because I will stand strong on what I believe

 @9JSGCL6 from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

My standing goals would become more attainable and I would thrive in a conservative society, all the change that has been happening is deteriorating the U.S. to a third world country, as almost all of the western countries are.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How do you feel about the impact of religious fundamentalism on the rights and freedoms of individuals?

 @9H5HVMY from Tennessee  answered…3yrs3Y

religion and government should be completely separate.

 @9H5GZV5 from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

I feel as if it is very important for other religions to have a certain level of freedom

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What role should individual choice play in matters of religious practice within a society?

 @9HHT3K2 from California  answered…3yrs3Y

Freedom of religion is very important, you should not encourage anyone to join a religion repeatedly though.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think your community would react to a sudden shift towards conservative religious practices?

 @9HTLRZ4 from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

I think we need to go back to what we made this country on and that is Jesus Christ.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What role do you think religious organizations should play in addressing social issues like poverty and injustice?

 @9HXGHSP from Nebraska  answered…2yrs2Y

I think religious organizations should take an active role in combating these social issues, especially in the communities were a majority of their supporters are. If they're going to preach about wanting to follow their higher power's words, they should back it up with substantial action.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would your approach to social media change if there were community-enforced guidelines based on traditional practices?

 @9JNM24NIndependent from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

I would use the FBI to deport any Americans that supportz or sympathise with Islamic Fundementalism.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Do you believe that a government should enforce moral behavior as prescribed by religion?

 @9H7F6XPIndependent  from Washington  answered…3yrs3Y

No. Although there can be reasonable overlap between a country's laws and some religious principles of morality, no country should enforce all religious principles and mandates as laws when if don't protect individual rights.

 @9H7F3JX from New Hampshire  answered…3yrs3Y

It should use religion to establish what is moral and what is not and base its laws on that, however a religion and a state government should remain completely separate.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How would you approach a debate on sensitive issues if the arguments were framed primarily in religious terms?

i think that is i important to express freedom of religion among all.

 @9HG26PLfrom Guam  commented…3yrs3Y

I would fight tooth-and-nail over the truth of the eternal religion of Christ.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How might your perception of justice change if it were defined exclusively by religious law?

 @9HXF5D6Democrat from Missouri  answered…2yrs2Y

If I had the power to define a law for religion it would be that everyone had the right to have their own religion.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What moral dilemmas might arise in a world where government policies are strictly religion-based?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What are your thoughts on balancing traditional beliefs with contemporary societal changes?

 @9H7B234 from Washington  answered…3yrs3Y

Any religious belief that inspires and condones an eye for an eye revenge towards fellow humans should be denounced within any educational system.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What role do you think faith should play in shaping the rules and etiquette of online interactions?

 @9JPX4JHIndependent from Missouri  answered…2yrs2Y

I think faith should play a role only if you believe in it, it should not shape the rules for everyone.

Have you ever encountered a situation where religious principles conflicted with your sense of compassion or fairness, and how did you navigate it?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If the books you read for school had to align with religious teachings, how would you continue to explore diverse perspectives?

 @9JJ2JCG from Massachusetts  answered…2yrs2Y

Reading more from Islamic scholars or women who are Muslim. Also books that aren't outdated and align more with religious beliefs rather than cultural since people typically confuse the two. Also involve the youth and the elderly as well and try to incorporate different backgrounds of people who are Muslim.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Would you feel more or less connected to your community if everyone adhered to the same religious practices?

 @9JJ37BG from Minnesota  answered…2yrs2Y

Probably more connected but I don’t know if it’s a good idea to force everyone in a community to be forced to one religion.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In a society that prioritizes traditional teachings, how would your plans for higher education or career choices be impacted?

 @9JJ2K5Y from Washington  answered…2yrs2Y

I would feel on edge, sort of a who do I trust feeling. I would feel worried of opinions of me around me even from those who really don't know me. I would be stressed.
