Moreover, this study is to find the coefficient correlation between IFS and prejudice towards Christians. Data were derived from 311 Muslim participants where given a questionnaire. The results show that the items coefficient realibility of the ISFS is .86 and the items coefficient validity is between .37 and .64. Therefore, the ISFS is considered effective enough as an Islamic fundamentalism measuring tool. The research result also indicate that there is significant correlation between Islamic fundamentalism and towards Christians.
