SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
The widespread appeal of terrorist groups comprised by Muslims and the destruction at the hands of individuals who make up these groups leads us to wonder about the mindset of individuals who join and carry out violence in the name of violent groups. In this dissertation, I will explore how fundamentalist mindsets among Muslims may provide clues to the psychological factors affecting individuals who ultimately engage in terrorism. In order to explore the relationship between fundamentalism and terrorism, the meaning of both are explored in this dissertation. The historical development of Islamic fundamentalism is also discussed. Sufism is considered by some to be the mystical aspect of Islam. Based on an exploration of the psychologies of fundamentalism and terrorism, how they manifest in Islamic contexts, and features of Sufism, this research aims to investigate how Sufism can provide a psychological experience that can serve as a substitute for the fundamentalist mindset among Muslims. The methodology of this study is a Comprehensive Analysis and Review of the Literature (CoRAL). The findings of this research, in summary, are that Sufism, with the support of a Sufi guide, may serve to provide a psychological experience alternative to the fundamentalist mindset among Muslims via experiences of unity, ego-purification, balance, self-understanding, inner jihad, and death before physical death, associated with dissolve in divine unity. The significance of this study includes highlighting the importance of understanding rather than rejecting the phenomenon of fundamentalism, and an explanation of how Sufism may provide healing benefits to Muslims with fundamentalist mindsets.
