			For example, the media says
Muslims are fundamentalist.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:07
			Muslims are terrorists. What is
the meaning of the word
		
00:00:07 --> 00:00:12
			fundamentalist? Fundamentalist? By
definition, means a person who
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:16
			follows the fundamentals of a
particular subject. For example,
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			for a person to be a good
mathematician, he should know,
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:25
			follow and strive to practice the
fundamentals of maths, unless he's
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:28
			a fundamentalist in the field of
math. He cannot be a good
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:32
			mathematician. For a person to be
a good scientist, he should know,
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:37
			follow and strive to practice the
fundamentals of maths unless he's
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			a fundamentalist in the field of
maths, he cannot be a good
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:43
			mathematician for a person to be a
good scientist, he should know,
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45
			follow and strive to practice the
fundamentals of science, unless
		
00:00:45 --> 00:00:48
			he's a fundamentalist in the field
of science, he cannot be a good
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:52
			scientist. You cannot paint all
fundamentalists with the same
		
00:00:52 --> 00:00:58
			brush that all are good or all are
bad, depending upon which field
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			the person is a fundamentalist,
you have to label him accordingly.
