"Fundamentalism does not speak of religion, is only interested in religion today, and also promotes a kind of religion, faith, that has nothing to do with culture and has nothing to do with theology. There you see fundamentalism as the importation of Middle Eastern culture, but rather, as a consequence of globalization and Westernization of Islam. And this can not be understood, these religious radicalization, if we see that instead of expressing culture clashes of cultures expressing crisis. Collect principles that have been the beginning of the revolutionary socialist and anarchist movements of the nineteenth century. What can we do with the radicals? I would say nothing, because once again, when these young people become radicalized can do nothing, are fully broken and can not do anything with them "
The above text is in a Olivier Roy pronounced conference in Madrid. It is provocative yet sensible assertions. Perhaps more to look at those who react in an irresponsible way we should look best in what happens to our culture and ideals. It is possible that our crisis is showing, reflected and distorted in its radical proposals.
