"How so?"
What does this word "fundamental" mean to you?
Fundamentalist Islam is Islam at its core.
Oh, and Dr. Pipes was the one who coined the term "Sudden Jihad Syndrome" - which is exactly why Muslims in this country need to be monitored. An increasingly common opinion, by the way:

"The survey also examined the relation of religiosity to perceptions of Islam and Islamic countries among Christian respondents."
So perception is reality? And if the perception among the left is that George Bush lied to get us into Iraq, and only did it to control all that oil this is also true?
perception and reality are two different things not necessarily the same thing.

In terms of modern Islam. Wahhabism / Muwahhidun, Salafism, Twelver Shi'ism.
