I think this is quite dependent on a specifically theological definition of
"fundamentalists".  Not all Islamists are particularly conservative
theologically - not surprising given that Islamism has its root in Egypt -
but they are all pretty conservative.  There are absolutely no Islamists who
are prepared to countenance homosexuality, for example.

The first thing to do is to understand different currents of Islam --
e.g., not all Islamists are fundamentalists, and not all
fundamentalist Muslims are Islamists -- and figure out  which currents
we could support if we had our own social force.
