		Some of these pockets were distant from political centers, such as the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon and several governates of Upper Egypt, but fundamentalists also took root in urban quarters and on university campuses, where Islamic dress for women became compulsory and short-cropped beards for men became customary.

	************** War on Terror Newstand, 1st Edition *
		In the context of ‎this confrontation, the Palestine problem is the core of a Western offensive that ‎began with Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt in 1798 and reached its climax in 1918 ‎with the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire, which had symbolized Islamic ‎unity.
		But concomitant with that policy is the spinoff that the government of the Afghans is up to them, provided it does not include the Taliban: this may mean Afghans murdering Afghans as the warlords are wont to do, in the struggle for internal power.
		And the USG probably must, in some way, be sucked in in support of some anti-Taliban leaders just as the Soviets were in Afghanistan in favor of their Communist leaders, and as we were in Vietnam in favor of Diem and, later, the military.

	Fundamentalist Islam: The Drive for Power by Martin Kramer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		“I killed Razmara,” he announced on a visit to Egypt in 1954, referring to the prime minister assassinated by a disciple three years earlier.)[13] But despite the denials, violence became the inescapable shadow of fundamentalist Islam from the outset—and the attempt to separate figure from shadow, a problematic enterprise at best.
		Visiting the Jordanian-Israeli armistice line, he had to be physically restrained from throwing himself upon the Zionist enemy.[14] Navvab presaged those Iranian volunteers who arrived in Lebanon thirty years later to wage Islamic jihad against Israel.
		Khomeini thus drew a striking metaphor to make the same point: America, historical heir to unbelief, was the “Great Satan.” This posited an absolute conflict between Islam and the West, not just in history but in eschatology.[20] It was dramatized by the seizure of the U.S. Embassy in Teheran and the 444-day detentionof its staff.
