Abstract

U.S. experts fear violence could once again break out in Bosnia-Herzegovina, and some even want the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to mount another military mission there. Yet few of these experts focus on the danger of gradually expanding Islamism. In Bosnia, it appears to have made slow but steady progress, despite resistance from Bosnia's moderate Muslims. Senior Bosniak (Muslim) leaders retain their long-standing Islamist ties, and their calls to impose traditional Islamic law, or sharia, and develop closer ties with the Islamic world only aggravate Bosnian Croat and Serb separatism.

Abstract

Through a collection of essays, Fundamentalism: Perspectives on a Contested History explores the ways in which the concept of global fundamentalism does and does not illuminate developments in modern Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. At issue is whether, beyond the specific milieu of American Protestantism in the early decades of the twentieth century, the word 'fundamentalism' captures something important on a global scale that is not captured-or not as well-by other words. Readers will quickly discover that in exploring this issue the book is "at war with itself."In Fundamentalism Simon A. W

Abstract

Battle hardened, tribally oriented, and deeply committed to its cause, the Taliban has proven itself resourceful, adaptable, and often successful. As such, the Taliban presents a counterinsurgency puzzle for which the United States has yet to identify effective military tactics, information operations, and Coalition developmental policies. This book covers the group's complete history, including its formation, ideology, and political power, as well as the origins of its current conflict with the United States. The work carefully analyzes the agenda, capabilities, and support base of the Taliban; forecasts the group's likely course of action to retake Afghanistan; and details the Coalition forces' probable counterinsurgency responses. The author also reviews the successes and failures of the latest US counterinsurgency doctrine to extrapolate the best strategies for future counterinsurgency campaigns.

Abstract

Fundamentalisten - das sind immer die Anderen. Also diejenigen, die ihre Überzeugungen nicht der Diskussion, dem Zweifel aussetzen wollen und die Mitmenschen zu einer Lebensführung nach ihren Vorstellungen zwingen. Also die intoleranten, bärtigen Finsterlinge im Nahen Osten, ein paar vatikanische Hinterwäldler oder die amerikanischen Sektengurus, die im 20. Jahrhundert beginnen, sich den Errungenschaften der Moderne zu widersetzen. Christoph Türcke bricht mit diesem Cliché radikal. Er zeigt, dass der Fundamentalismus seine Wiege im christlichen Westen hat, wie die Macht des Westens
