Identitetsbyggande och karismatiska ledare : Fundamentalister och islamister i världens största demokrati
(2005)Social Anthropology
- Abstract
- Construction of Identity and Charismatic Leaders deals with fundamentalism and Islamism within the United States, emphasising on similarities between fundamentalists and Islamists. The term "fundamentalist" is here referring to Christian extremists, while "Islamist" refers to the Muslim counterpart. The purpose of the essay is to make North American fundamentalism and Islamism comprehendible on a larger scale.
In order to show similarities between these groups when it comes to values, structure and commitment to their tasks, it is important to understand the nature of the religious devotion.
Analyzing the similarities of the two groups enables construction of general criteria for how anthropology of religious extremists can be outlined.
