	Militant Islam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Groups advocating Islam as a political movement are invariably responding to complex political and historical situations, usually with deep roots in the local environment.
		But this complex local political history is completely lost in the simplistic reductionism of terms like Muslim fundamentalism, which ultimately explains little by blaming a multitude of problems common to less developed countries (including violence and lack of democracy) on religion.
		Modern Islam went through major political and philosophical developments in the early part of the twentieth century, but it was not until the 1980s that it became powerfully militant in an international arena.

		If the global economy is rendering millions destitute, if it is exhausting the planet itself, then we have to ask ourselves whether it can be made less brutal.
		The whole process hinges on a number of major assumptions: that these nations will always be able to rely on the global distribution of food; that the land will always accommodate intensive agriculture for export; and that they will always be able to afford the imports they need to survive.
		The global economy could not operate were it not for the direct subsidies heaped upon it, not to mention the indirect subsidies.

	Militant Islam Information - TextSheet.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Militant Islam is a term used by Western political commentators what they deem to be excessively violent aggressive political activity by Islamic individuals, groups, movements or governments.
		However, since there is more to being a militant than being a radical, and since it is Islam, itself, as a political movement, not some separate and Westerner-defined Islam-ism, these terms are not politically neutral and should be avoided.
		Among other things, they imply that there is a common agenda between Islamic parties who pursue Islam in relative peace, as one of many points of view in a democracy, and terrorism.

	Restructuring the Global Economy
		My contention is that the globalization of a capitalistic system, with the resulting disregard for nature’s life support systems, the phenomenal cultural diversity across the planet, and the local community values that are the real stuff of our lives, is clearly not a paragon of beauty, excellence, or perfection.
		Capra’s overview of the global economy and the tragic, single-minded trend of economic globalization is concise and clear.

	ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS FOR GLOBAL GOVERNANCE
		The environmental effects are experienced globally, but because of the Global South’s compromised position economically, they disproportionately bear the consequences and yet have little power to alter its influence or the source of its emanation.
		The essence of good global governance environmentally therefore is to reshape the global economy to make it less environmentally harmful and more socially equitable for current and future generations as a moral tenet[22].
		Third, global improvement in efficiency and conservation—“a transition to renewable energies is the regal road towards sustainability; they are climate-friendly, pollution-free, and inexhaustible.”[38] Fourth, because of the resource productivity revolution, the requirements needed to protect the climate are profitable for business.

		With their strict adherence to free market economic and political principles, these institutions have also supported and promoted the dominant ideology that serves the interests of the 'rich North'.

	The March of the Monoculture
		The computer and telecommunications revolutions have helped to speed up and strengthen the forces behind the march of a global monoculture, which is now able to disrupt traditional cultures with a shocking speed and finality which surpasses anything the world has witnessed before.
		Ultimately, while the myth makers of the ‘Global Village’ celebrate values of togetherness, the disparity in wealth between the world’s upper income brackets and the 90 percent of people in the poor countries represents a polarisation far more extreme than existed in the 19th century.
		The global monoculture is a dealer in illusions: while promising a glittering, wealthy lifestyle it can never provide for the majority, it is destroying the sustainable ways of living that traditions and local economies provided.
