  5. Islam Today • Peaceful Islam vs. Radical Fundamental Islam • Islam, at heart, is a peaceful religion • Most Muslim’s faith is stronger than the average Christian • Beginning in the 1970s and 1980s Islam remerged as a potent political force, associated with both reform and revolution • Radical Islamic Fundamentalists are opposed to Western civilization’s way of life and imperialistic pursuits

  6. Islam Today • These fundamentalists represent a small percentage of the population of Islam, so we must be careful not to label or assume • Jihad: a holy war waged on behalf of Islam as a religious duty; a personal struggle in devotion to Islam especially involving spiritual discipline • No where in the Qu’ran does it say you will go to paradise if you martyr yourself with a suicide bomb • Important: The majority of Muslims do not live this way
