Sommario/riassunto |
|
Fundamentalism is seen as the major threat to world peace, a conclusion impossible to ignore since the events in New York on September 11 2001. This book investigates fundamentalism's historical, social, religious, political, and ideological roots and tackles the polemic and stereotypes surrounding this complex phenomenon. |
