The Righteous, the Fundamentalists and the Terrorists: Knowing Them Well Makes the Difference

By Syed Ahmed

Do You Know the Difference Between a Fundamentalist and a Terrorist? In today's world, the image of religion keeps filtering through "isms,"-fundamentalism, extremism, and fanaticism-but religion does remain a vehicle to achieve moral excellence. Religion also influences individuals and helps create a particular mind-set. It is not uncommon to identify individuals, on account of his or her world view, as doves, hawks, rightist, leftist, conservatives or liberals... In The Righteous, the Fundamentalists, and the Terrorists by Syed Ahmed, you will learn the history and basic philosophies of four of the world's major religions-Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism. None of these theological doctrines supports terrorism, but each has been twisted and used to support terrorist activities. In his book Dr. Ahmed describes the sharp contrast that exists between the beliefs of the mainstream followers of religion and those of fanatics, extremists, and terrorists. It is a fascinating and thought-provoking survey.
