"Fundamentalism" is not actually a term muslims use to self-identify or Islamic scholars use in conjunction with ANY muslims since the concept of "fundamentalism" is, in fact, a Christian one, started by organizations that wanted to return to the fundamentals of the Christian faith and emphasize the infallibility of the Bible after the Christian church had undergone many, many schisms creating the many sects and denominations we have today.
Applying it to Islam is misleading because there are only two major muslim sects, neither of which have made the strong divergence from their roots that some Christian sects have.
Acts of extremism are NOT fundamentalism and it is misleading to label them as such.
