Everyone has different ideas about what "fundamenalism" is.

Funny how few people will claim to be fundamentalists themselves.

There is no real "fundamentalism" in Buddhism.

There is a lot of use of the term in Buddhist debate over the Buddha's teachings to "poison the well". Usually by folks who wish to stuff their favored superstitions and metaphysical speculations into the Buddha's mouth.
