    [synopsis] => Why do certain groups and individuals seek to do harm in the name of                God? While studies often claim to hold the key to this frightening phenomenon, they                seldom account for the crucial role that religious conviction plays, not just in                radical Islam, but also in the fundamentalist branches of the world's two other                largest religions: Christianity and Hinduism. As the first book to examine violent                extremism in all three religions together, Competing                Fundamentalisms draws on studies in sociology, psychology, culture, and                economicswhile focusing on the central role of religious                ideasto paint a richer portrait of this potent force in modern life.                Clarke argues that the forces of globalization fuel the aggression of these                movements to produce the competing feature of religious fundamentalisms, which have                more in common with their counterparts across religious lines than they do with the                members of their own religions. He proposes ways to deescalate religious violence in                the service of peacemaking. Readers will gain important insights into how violent                religious fundamentalism works in the world's three largest religions and learn                new strategies for promoting peace in the context of contemporary interreligious                conflict.
