men, who feel particular resentment that they have not found a place in French
society, are the principle targets of recruitment by Islamic fundamentalists. 'I'm

Origins and Contemporary Implications," Mediterranean Quarterly, Fall 1992, pp.
51-61. Zivojinovic, a professor of history at the University of Belgrade, claims that

essence of fundamentalism and its outlook on the world..., an invitation to Muslims
around the world to awaken and stand up in order to accomplish a historical duty

pronouncements come "close to the ideas of the Ayatollah Khomeini...."
