Let us begin with the capitalistic democratic system. Thin system puts an end to a kind of injustice in economic life, to dictatorial rule in political life, and to the stagnation of the church and its ideational life. Capitalistic democracy tightened the reins of power and influence for a new group of rulers that replaced earlier ones, and adopted the same social role played by their predecessors, but used a new style.
Emergence of Secular thought in Europe
The capitalist countries are embarked upon a mission to consistently attack Islam and Muslims and to impose their political and social values over us. The recent trips of American foreign secretary of state James Baker, to the predominantly Muslim inhabited areas of the former Soviet Union, in order to make sure that they do not return to Islam, was also a part of the same mission, which is, to export the secular and capitalist ideas and institutions to the whole world in general, and Muslims in particular.
Interfaith dialogue
Internationally, this idea started in 1932 when France sent representatives to confer with the scholars of al-Azhar University about the idea of uniting the three religions: Islam, Christianity and Judaism. This was then followed by the Paris Conference of 1933 attended by orientalists and missionaries from every university in France, England, Switzerland, America, Italy, Poland, Spain, Turkey and others. The Conference of world religions in 1936 was the last conference of religions before the Second World War, which distracted the Europeans from these conferences.
Tawakkul (التوكل على الله) upon Allah

Rather, the evidences came absolute (not restricted) in commanding the tawakkul. Thus, the obligation is the tawakkul on Allah without nay restriction, and in every matter. So, we must make tawakkul on Allah in every action.

One may ask questions such as "What are these concepts? What makes them? What are their results? What are these inclinations? What causes them, and what effect do they have?" These can be answered as follows.
Fundamentalism
The first time the term fundamentalism appeared was in Europe towards the end of the 19th Century. It was used to indicate the position of the Church regarding the new sciences and philosophies and the strict adherence to the Christian faith.
The Islamic Method of Acquiring Knowledge
Thus, the method that Islam encourages in pursuing knowledge is based upon the intellect and entails thinking, research, and analysis. It is not built upon blind faith, emotional belief, or submission without any discussion.
Islam is a Specific Way of Living
Islam came as a collection of concepts (mafaheem) about life. It came as general guidelines (khutoot ‘areedah), ie general imports that treat all man’s problems in life, where the solution of every problem that occurs to man is actually derived from them.
