Description
This work is an analytical and historical study of the crisis milieu the Muslim society is confronted with.
As an ideology, fundamentalism strives to assert Islamic traditional values in radically changed socio-cultural and knowledgeable environment. But instead of forging an effective instrument of state craft, it seeks recourse in "authenticity" a myth which, can hardly meet the demands of time.
The fundamentalist view of the world looks more for search for a world that once was. It could inspire a few, but prudence demands that it should not be pushed too far.
