Preface
The subject of fundamentalism, which garnered interest during the 1980s, is as relevant today as ever before. Examples of religious fanaticism, usually accompanied by violence, continue throughout the world with unceasing regularity. Whether the struggles occur among Sikhs, Muslims, and Hindus in India, or between Jew and Muslim in Jerusalem, there are enough instances to remind the informed public that fundamentalism and its ramifications are an ongoing phenomenon. Now with the growing U.S. presence in the Middle East, the interplay of religion and politics in the area must be a consideration for all geopolitical strategies. It is for this reason alone that we believe another work on the subject is warranted.
