===Types=== Islamic fundamentalism (at least among [[Sunni]] Muslims) traditionally tends to fall into "doctrinist" and "principlist" tendencies: * Doctrinists accept "the continuity" between the founding Islamic "texts"—the ''[[Quran]]'' and the ''[[Sunnah]]''—and their commentaries. Doctrinists take "imitation" (''[[taqlid]]''), accepting what was said before and refusing to innovate (''[[Bidʻah|bidah]]''), as a "basic principle, They follow one of the great [[Madhhab|schools]] of religious jurisprudence ([[Shafi'i]], [[Maliki]], [[Hanafi]], [[Hanbali]]). Their vision of the ''[[sharia]]'' is essentially legalistic and used to determine what is religiously right or wrong for [[Enjoining good and forbidding wrong]]. Doctrinists are sometimes connected to the popular forms of [[Sufism]] such as the [[Barelvi]] school in [[Pakistan]])."<ref name=ORFPI1994:30-1>[[#ORFPI1994|Roy, ''Failure of Political Islam'', 1994]]: pp. 30–31</ref> * Principlists, in contrast, "criticizes the tradition, the commentaries, popular religious practices" ([[Marabout]]ism, the cult of saints), "deviations, and superstitions"; it aims to purify [[Islam]] by returning to the ''Quran'' and the ''Sunnah''. 18th-century examples of principlists are [[Shah Waliullah Dehlawi]] in India and [[Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab|Ibn Abdul Wahhab]] in the Arabian Peninsula. This style is often "developed in response to an external threat" such as "the influence of Hinduism on Islam".
