I think that term can be applied to ANY religious practitioner who exhibits certain traits.

The meaning of "fundamentalist" in relation to religion is "one who takes their holy book literally"..

As literal interpretations of the Bible would cause one to go forth and evangelize, that is what true Christian fundamentalists do.

Is that the trait you were referring to? Or are you referring to something else? What would a "fundamentalist" Jew do?

Being a Christian or believing in the existance of Yeshua does not make one a fundamentalist.

A Jew can be a Christian fundamentalist. You seemed to doubt that by asking your question

So now term "fundamentlist" is extended to JEWS?

You probably thought that the Hensons were practicing the Jewish faith.

As literal interpretations of the Bible would cause one to go forth and evangelize, that is what true Christian fundamentalists do.

Since the Messianic Jews take the Bible literally my point was that Jews can be "true Christian fundamentalists", as you call them.
