century, and has become associated with reaction against social and political liberalism and
rejection of the theory of evolution.
Islamic fundamentalism appeared in the 18th and 19th centuries as a reaction to the
disintegration of Islamic political and economic power, asserting that Islam is central to
both state and society and advocating strict adherence to the Koran ( Qur'an) and to Islamic
law ( sharia).
