Like many other words, the word "fundamentalist" is over-used without people really knowing what it means. For example, the word "pimping" literally means a guy who finds and promotes prostitutes but in today's slang it is just means "trying to be cool". Anyways I digress, but my point is that people use words, which used to mean something but now mean something else. "Fundamentalism" in the times of the crusaders meant the strict, conservative Christians, but now in the times of Bin Laden it means the strict, conservative Islamic Ideology. So it's all relative to the time and context the word is placed in.
Ofcourse a person who's following those basic principles of morality u stated is not a fundamentalist, because to be a fundamentalist, u should have a narrow mentality and strict guidelines which u expect everyone to follow. A fundamentalist is not a terrorist, but if lead in the wrong direction, he can turn out to be one.
