and beliefs to everyone.
How Do Islamic Fundamentalists
Effect the rest of the World
Islamic fundamentalism is a total belief
system that is willing to use any means to
accomplish its goal; it is similar to
Communism.
They both try to radically remake society.
Fundamentalists are willing to use any
means, terrorists tactics included, to
accomplish their goals.
They are considered more offensive instead of
defensive.
When Were they Started
Its beginnings date back to 1979 and the
Iranian Revolution, when the Ayatollah
Khomeini overthrew the Shah and
established an Islamic republic in Iran.
Muhammad ibn Abdallah is the founder of
Islam.
He was a member of a powerful Meccan tribe called
the Quarysh.
He was also a prosperous trader.
The Sunnis founded Islam Fundamentalism in
1988 from this point.
When continued..
Islamic Fundamentalism became more
known to the United States in 2001
They are to be blamed for the terrorist attacks
on September 11th.
It is believed that Usama Bin Laden was their current
leader at the time.
– He therefore called for the attacks
This is when the United States became in a
War On Terror.
This could otherwise be stated as War On Islamic
Fundamentalists.
What they want
Islamic Fundamentalists want to establish
governments and legal systems based on
religious law.
They use the shard' ah, which is Islamic law derived from
the study of the Koran.
They also want to bring back traditional practices
like banning alcohol and having women cover their
faces.
Its purpose is to challenge the predominance of
modern, Western civilization.
They See Western influences as evil and corrupting.
What Islamic Fundamentalists Think
Islamic fundamentalism needs moral
justification to destroy an entire culture.
Not only do fundamentalists reject
toleration of other religious faiths, but they
are intolerant of other Muslims who differ
from there narrow tradition.
This happens to be their justification, they do
not like others who differ from their beliefs and
traditions.
Why they do what they do.
They are the world’s leading anti-American
Ideology. They rank the U.S. as the number
one enemy.
They think Christian and Jewish alliances
are conspiring to destroy Islam.
So they are out to make sure this doesn’t
happen
They will use any force and any means to ensure the
job is done
– Suicide bombing, suicide attacks, etc..
