The [[Iranian Revolution|1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran]] is seen by some scholars{{who|date=February 2016}} as a success of Islamic fundamentalism.<ref>Appleby (1993) p. 342</ref><ref>Ahmed (1993), p. 94</ref><ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=DwgwGs__4c4C&pg=PA362|author=Gary Ferraro|title=Cultural Anthropology: An Applied Perspective|publisher=Cengage Learning|year=2007|access-date=14 November 2010|page=362|isbn=978-0495100089}}</ref> Some scholars{{who|date=February 2016}} argue that [[Saudi Arabia]] is also largely governed by fundamentalist principles (see [[Wahhabi movement]])<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3qwuhK3BBH8C&pg=PA272|title=Challenges of the Muslim World: Present, Future and Past|publisher=Emerald Group Publishing|year=2008|access-date=14 November 2010|page=272|isbn=9780444532435}}</ref> but [[Johannes J.G.
