In spite of its diversity, the roots of this phenomenon can be found in a series of psychosocial factors and in the dominant ideological and religious superstructure in these cultures. It is necessary to analyze this entire series of variables, then, in order to interpret the role and the effectiveness of islamic fundamentalist terrorism in the world today.
