Questions

This is not a comment on this article rather a question, but I didn't know the forum to raise this in. You speak of militant Islam, a phenomenon that I too can see...living in Sydney I have heard reports that a Hizbullah cell had been discovered within my city.
Where did this militant Islam start? You write that it's based on a desire to change the existing structures, imposing an Islamic view upon the system. Well from where did this desire stem? Further, how does a militant Islamic State such as Saudi Arabia differ from merely an Islamic state such as Jordan?

Could you either forward me an article (I've only been a member of forum since late July) that you may have written previously on these topics or write back.

Thank you very much,
Jake Berger
