Today new and ever more pernicious forms of terrorist violence
threaten the world. Because these new forms of violence are so
often linked to religious radicalism, modern terrorism has
challenged the secular ethics of contemporary civil society. There
is a pressing need to understand modern religious movements that
have added militancy and belligerence as fundamental elements of
religious practice. Contributors to this volume painstakingly
tackle the question of how to define the contours of current
religious fundamentalism as they examine the private and public
postures of fundamentalist rhetoric, the importance of its regional
variants, and the damage it can do to regional and national
education systems. Their analysis tracks trends in religious
movements that aspire to radicalize, reform, and violently topple
governments and nations, while highlighting the difference between
fundamentalist interpretations and other longstanding juridical,
political, and intellectual traditions.
