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.
I'd venture to say that Islamists in particular and Muslims in general can change. Socialists used not to countenance homosexuality, for instance, and some of them still don't, if a recent report on CPN(M)'s policy toward homosexuals is correct (I have yet to gather all relevant facts on the matter, so I am agnostic about the accuracy of the report). -- Yoshie <http://montages.blogspot.com/> <http://mrzine.org> <http://monthlyreview.org/>
