9 Armed Forces & Soc'y 3 (1982-1983)

handle is hein.journals/amdfcsad9 and id is 1 raw text is: Militant Protest and Political Violence Under the Banner of Islam AUGUSTUS RICHARD NORTON U.S. Military Academy, West Point with the assistance of Deanna J. Lampros-Norton Despite the predictions of Western intellectuals and their Third World counterparts, traditional society and its central(premodern)values have not passed,' but have instead proven to be remarkably resilient. Secularization, while not without its numerous adherents, has not devoured the phenomena of religious political parties and ideologies, as one representative authority predicted it would.2 Indeed, if anything, religionists threaten to devour the secularizers. Nowhere is this more evident than in the contemporary Middle East, where groups and movements inspired by Islam (or by Christianity or Judaism in some cases) have become increasingly significant in virtually every country of the region. In the context of a global revitalization of religion, it is not surprising to note that the Middle East, and the Arab world in particular, has not been immune to a renewed interest in religion or at least religious symbolism. Mass movements wearing the mantle of religion have become increasingly active in the East and the West. While the cultural settings are quite different, there are readily discernible similarities AUTHOR'S NOTE: The author's views do not purport to represent the position of the U.S. government or the U.S. Military Academy.
