The calculated act of terror perpetrated in Norway by a 32 year old Norwegian extremist has brought up once again the question of fundamentalism.
Western governments and the mass media have led world public opinion to associate fundamentalism and terrorism almost exclusively with radical sectors of Islam.
Barack Obama, of the United States, and David Cameron, of the United Kingdom, promptly expressed solidarity with the government of Norway and reinforced the idea of dealing a mortal blow to terroirsmo, assuming that it was an act of Al Qaeda.
Besides strongly rejecting terrorism and fundamentalism, we must try to understand the reasons for this phenomenon.
I have already dealt with the topic several times tundamentalismo this column, and published it as a book, Fundamentalism, Terrorism, Religion and Peace: There I mention, among other causes, the type of globalization that has prevailed from the beginning, a globalization that is fundamentally one of the economy, of the markets and of relligio. We are leaving behind the narrow limits of regional cultures, with their identities and the figure of the nation-state, to go deeper into the process of a collective history of the human species, with a common destiny, linked to the destiny of life and, somehow, to the destiny of the Earth herself.

When the Soviet Union was dismantled, no multipolar world appeared.

This global uniformity generated strong resistance, bitterness and anger fjndamentalismo many peoples, who saw their identities and customs erode.
In this type of situation, forces of identity normally appear. They allign themselves with the conservative sectors of their religions, which are the natural guardians of tradition.

From there a fundamentalism originates that is characterized by the absolute value it affords its point of view. Those who affirm their identity as absolute are condemned to be intolerant with those who are different, to despise them and, at the outer limits, to eliminate them.
This phenomenon occurs all over the world. In the West, significant conservative groups feel their identity threatened by the penetration of non-European cultures, especially re,igio Islamism.
They reject multiculturalism and cultivate xenophobia. The Norwegian terrorist was convinced that the democratic struggle against the threat of foreigners in Europe was lost. So he undertook a desperate solution: The response of the government and of the Norwegian people has been a wise one: This is the path that guarantees human globalization, where it will be more difficult for such tragedy to happen again.
