So they are not literalists just selective literalists which is why they are fundamentalists as they believe in the fundamentals only as interpreted by themselves.
I mean that if you think the world was created as in genesis, you are a fundy, period. If you think that the koran is accurate? Fundy.

A non-fundy will admit that their book is "just so" stories. Not literally true, but useful for a moral.

What islamic sects specifically state that the koran is not literally true, just useful stories?
