Dr. John Rao describes the influence of different modern Islamic developments for places like Asia and Africa, where Moslems are so militant today. Again, the ability of certain militant Moslem groups to provide a sense of belonging to uprooted peoples is stressed. The primarily "internal" character of much Moslem militancy, aimed against Moslem secularists, is also discussed.
