Afghanistan: fundamentalism and its regional and international consequences

Abstract

Fundamentalism basically means returning to past values. Islamic fundamentalists include groups and movements with different interpretations of the fundamental principles and beliefs of Islam. By providing a strict interpretation of Islam, they justify violence, killings, terror and terrorism as religious and religious justifications. This research deals with the consequences of this issue through the analytical-descriptive method and the use of historical sources and evidence. The findings show that fundamentalism in the region has entered a new phase of its life as political Islam emerges. Global wars, the Cold War, the failures caused by them, and the performance of some international powers have led fundamentalist groups to become more radical and violent. Fundamentalism has confronted Afghanistan with violence, killings, assassinations and political instability for more than 40 years. Terrorist acts are the most important consequence of fundamentalism at the international and regional level With the Taliban re-dominating Afghanistan, there are growing concerns about large-scale terrorist threats.
