This artcle deals with possible solutons to prevent religious fundamentalizm based on the interviews conducted in Marmara and Ankara University Divinity Schools at graduate and mainly undergraduate levels. We can list the basic principles emphasized in the artcle on the soluton of religious fundamentalizm: a love educaton that family and school center on, a socializaton process that recommends tolerance, the eliminaton of ignorance about religious fundamentalizm and development of special consciousness on; the accurate interpretaton of religion from a holistc rather than partcularistc view addressing to the common sense; the abandonment of the sloganic and superfcial view of religion, a qualifed and stable politcs of religious educaton, a type of Muslim prepared to accept religious values, but also not broken off from the modern world, the emergence of domestc regional power to end invasion and suppression in the Islamic world and an optmistc and constructve point of view not frustrated easily against negatveness. We also found some practcal solutons in the artcle on the preventon of religious fundamentalizm including giving advice of midway without tagging, keeping away from bringing religion into a language and discourse of a specifc ideology, boostng freedoms and fortfying civil society, and avoiding strict practces of laicism.
