Summary/Abstract: A large part of the aggressive and militant attitude of the Arab world against the current world order can in fact be explained by the old fear of being absorbed by the West. This is the political, social and cultural framework, used by sympathizers of Islamic fundamentalism to promote the idea that many of the social realities exported by the Western civilization through globalization cannot be accepted in the Arab world, being just a provocation leading to its degradation, and in the end insuring the hegemony of the West. Fortunately, it has by now become clear that a great majority of Muslims haven’t the slightest desire to join the Jihadist movement. It appears that the Muslim world is experiencing a trend, if not a unanimous consent regarding the fact that Muslims should renounce violence, as this only leads to hatred against Muslims everywhere.
