Ex-Turkish Prime Minister Bulent Ecevit feels that the West should support modernization and democratization in the Middle East in order to subvert religious fundamentalism in the region. Militant radicalism and religious fanaticism have become the way of life in the Middle East, and the Turkish and Jordanian experiences with democracy, modernity and secularism are viewed with growing suspicion.

Abstract

Olivier Roy, Senior Researcher for the National Centre for Scientific Research Dreux, France, discussed the fight against Islam at the 1997 IPI World Congress held in Granada, Spain. Roy stressed that the struggle against Islamism has often been viewed as a fight for democracy but this is not true since the Middle Eastern terrorism of the 1980's, which started in the 1970s, was not caused by Islamic countries but by Syria and Iraq. The real Islamist militants do not reside in Moslem countries, rather, they live on the fringes of New York, Paris and London.
