Chapter Ten: Religious Fundamentalism

Lecture Notes and Review Quiz Study Materials

For your convenience, I have condensed the Heywood chapter summary into HTML (text only) Religious Fundamentalism


SPECIFIC CASE: POLITICAL ISLAM

The HTML text of the PowerPoint class presentation is available at Political Islam

The most important chart, summarizing how three sources of ideas:
1) The Egyption Muslim Brotherhood society;
2) The Saudi supported Wahhabi movement;
3) The Pakistani-based Deobandi movement
provided the necessary ingredients for the development of political Islam
can be accessed as either PDF format: Development of Political Islam

The chart is also available as an image in HTML format Development of Political Islam

A question and answer format test and paper review in HTML format covers Multiculturalism, Religious Fundamentalism and Political Islam

In this particular instance, Macridis and Hulliung Lecture Notes--"The Religious Impulse" fail to deal adequately with the issues (One of the reasons we did not require that textbook). They are provided for those who may want to give them a quick read through, but base your class paper on the Heywood text lecture notes.

News articles: Annotated list of supplemental articles continues on the following pages.

For a recent article regarding fears about religious fundamentalism in America:
        Left Aims to Smite "Theocracy" Movement?

IMPORTANT: Please read as many as possible of the articles on the following pages.

The list has been annotated to forwarn you of their character.
Important warning: some have been taken from radical websites!
Please report any offensive articles to your professor.
