By dissecting the underlying forces that fuel this phenomenon, he offers insights into its fervent adherents and the broader societal dynamics at play.
The exploration encourages readers to confront the misconceptions surrounding fundamentalism, urging a deeper understanding of its motivations and implications. With clarity and concise analysis, Ruthven effectively frames fundamentalism as not just a singular threat, but a multifaceted issue that continues to shape the contemporary landscape.
