Holy war
the rise of militant Christian, Jewish, and Islamic fundamentalism
By David S. New
In an era where religious fervor increasingly shapes global politics, David S. New examines the dangerous convergence of fundamentalist movements across three major faiths. This penetrating analysis reveals how Christian apocalypticists, Jewish extremists, and Islamic militants are creating a volatile mixture that threatens to ignite catastrophic conflict in the Middle East.
New traces the rise of Christian fundamentalism in American politics through influential figures who brought religious ideology into mainstream governance. He explores how certain Jewish groups are actively preparing to rebuild the ancient Temple, while documenting the growth of religious extremism in Israel since 1967. The author exposes the troubling alliance between Christian and Jewish fundamentalists who believe they can accelerate messianic prophecies through deliberate provocation.
At the heart of this investigation lies Temple Mount, a site sacred to both Jews and Muslims. New explains how fundamentalist plans to destroy the Islamic mosques there could trigger nuclear retaliation and regional devastation. The book also addresses the alarming spread of nuclear capabilities to Islamic nations and terrorist organizations, particularly as weapons leave Russia and enter dangerous hands.
Through careful documentation of Temple Mount crises and interfaith cooperation among extremists, New presents a sobering portrait of how religious fundamentalism across all three Abrahamic traditions is creating conditions for unprecedented global conflict. This work offers essential understanding for anyone seeking to comprehend the spiritual and political forces shaping our world's most volatile region.
