Abstract: On the basis that religious fundamentalists have a strong bond to their religion, we hypothesizedthat Islamic fundamentalism would moderate the effect of ingroup meta-beliefof friendship on positive perceptions and trust on Christians. The results of the researchinvolving 147 Muslim participants showed that the effect of ingroup meta-belief offriendship on positive perception and trust was significant among participants with highIslamic fundamentalism. It indicates that Islamic fundamentalists may become the oneswho stand at the forefront to build a good relationship with other religions when theythink their religion sees a particular outgroup as friendly.
