Thus,while there are fundamentalist tendencies in every religion, in Islam, such tendencies have played a leading political role since the eighteenth century. This has created special problems for democracy and human rights in predominantly Muslim countries throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia.

It has been a literal war on the values culture, and institutions that make up liberal society.” (”JIHAD vs. McWORLD” Benjamin R.Barber/Ballantine Books)
