The Fundamental Question

This video investigates the phenomenon of rising Islamic fundamentalism in many forms and in many countries. In three parts, it considers the history and nature of the movement as seen by both supporters and dissidents. Is the Quran obsolete? Is Islamic fundamentalism merely a subversive political  force masquerading as a religious move "back to the basics?" Terrorists, imams, writers, doctors, students, government officials, holy warriors, activists of every hue, victims of assassination attempts and analysts offer wide-ranging perspectives on this menacing "jihad."
