Generally, fundamentalists believe in the absolute authority of a religion. They believe that anything written in religious scriptures is literal, not metaphorical, and should be strictly followed. This can lead to extremism.

Examples of Fundamentalists are Christian fundamentalists who believe The Bible should be understood literally eg Adam and Eve really existed.

Islamic fundamentalists who believe that gays, for example, should be executed.

Jewish fundamentalists who believe that there was a flood and that Noah and his ark did exist.

What are fundamentalist ideologies?

Fundamentalists are those who stick to principles and fundamentals of religion, politics, economics, and/or high morals. Those who follow fundamentalist beliefs are those that profess strong connections to an original dogma or doctrine and unwilling or unable to adjust to enlightened or revealed deeper truths. One example is the recent media exposure with the Fundamentalist Latter-day Saint (FLDS) episode in Texas. Such members adhere to certain beliefs once practiced in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, such as polygamy, but refuse to accept the tenets changing such beliefs. For clarity, the FLDS are not connected with the main LDS Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The LDS Church strongly support the laws of the land in which they reside and the exercise of polygamy, which was banned in October 1890, are grounds for immediate excommunication. There are other distinct differences between the Fundamentalists of the Latter-day Saints and the mainstream Church headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, but space does not allow such elaboration.

What do fundamentalists believe in?

Christian fundamentalists believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God and everything within its pages is literal truth. Therefore most fundamentalists believe that Adam was the first human created directly from the ground around 6000 years ago, and Eve was literally created from the rib or the side of Adam. They also believe that around 4500 years ago there was a global flood that destroyed all of life that lives on dry land except for just eight humans including Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives, plus an ark full of animals, birds and insects (in most cases two of every kind). However, there are among fundamentalists those who interpret these accounts differently more inline with an older creation and a relatively localized flood.

Why do you hear about Islamic fundamentalists when no one reports on the Christian fundamentalists?

Christian "fundamentalists" don't blow people up or kill innocents because they disagree with what they believe. Christian "fundamentalism" simply means going back to the basics of Christianity as taught by Jesus. Islamic fundamentalism means going back to Mohamed's original method of spreading his religion, which was to conquer by violence those who would not accept his new religion. Remember Waco, Texas? The Christian Davidian movement? Christian fundamentalists who cause harm to innocents are reported on and are dealt with.
