its apparent aim is to establish a theocracy based on a literal interpretation of religious laws by rejecting and outlawing all social,political and intellectual developments that have been evolving over the centuries and returning society to that ancient age which in the fundamantalist view was pure and uncorrupted by development of any kind.
the fundamentalist group wants to impose absolute,total and unchallanged rule of religious leaders in the state and society through enforcement of a selected set of religious edicts and commands.
ULTRA`S own analysis is that the nature of this movement has nothing to do with observance of high religious principles such as spiritual values of compassion,truth and justice. therefore, opposing fundamentalists does not mean opposing religion as such.
fundamentalist groups exist in all major religions of the world and in their political inclinations they are not different from each other.
it can be said that the fundamentalist movement is basically a revivalist,reactionary and fascist programme with very little scope for changes in society that may come about through human effort or initiative.
