FUNDAMENTALISM

 Hello everybody! Today, I´m going to talk about a topic very subjective, as Rafa said in his entry. I´m going to try to explain what fundamentalism is and some things relate to it


Fundamentalism: any religious current that promote a literal version of their holy books

But fundamentalism can means two different things:

- Meaning 1: Islamic movement that does things that are in Koran, holy book of this culture

-Meaning 2: Christian movement based on Bible. holy book of Catholicism


 Now, I´m going to talk about each meaning


Meaning 1

Well, this one is the most aggresive and extreme. It takes place in some East´s countries ( Sudán, Irán...) 

In these countries, fundamentalism is very important. As a consequence, they have instaured some rules:






- Women have to wear special clothes where her body is hidden ( Hiyab, Burka...)

                                                                   

    - Alcohol and pork are forbidden











Meaning 2

This one was born in EEUU in 19th century. Catholic fundamentalism is against evolution ( Darwin´s theory) because this religious current thinks that we come from the God´s creation. 


     

This man is a creationist

It means that he is against evolution´s theory










As Islamic fundamentalism, Catholic fundamentalism has some thoughts which not everyone likes. Let´s see them:


- Prohibition of use of condom and abort: Catholic fundamentalism says that if a woman aborts, is killing a human being. Also, using of condom doesn´t like in this current





- Homosexual marriages: Church is against homosexual marriages but not against homosexual people. In conclusion, people can be homosexual but not making it public




Well, I hope that you enjoy my entry about Fundamentalism. See you in class! :D
