Religion Fundamentalism in Islamic Students

Abstract

The issue of fundamentalism has become a global issue. Fundamentalism rejects diversity and tends to be prejudiced towards other religions. This study aimed to determine the fundamentalism's relationship to multiculturalism and the prejudice towards non-Muslims. This study involved 400 Muslim students in Parepare, South Sulawesi, Indonesia using questionnaires. The findings showed a negative and significant relationship of fundamentalism towards multiculturalism as well as the positive and significant relationship of fundamentalism against the prejudice towards non-Muslims.
