RELIGIOUS TERRITORIAL CONFLICTS
Religion versus Government Policies
Religion is element of cultural
diversity
Religious fundamentalism
a literal interpretation and strict
adherence to basic principles of a
religion, has spurred more intense
conflict recently.
Taliban versus Western Values
Taliban’s control of Afghanistan’s
government in the 1990s led to strict
laws opposing Western values.
“Western, non-Islamic” leisure
activities banned
Ex: Soccer stadiums converted to
settings for executions and
floggings.

legitimate rulers of Israel.

Peace will likely not be possible, if one
religion has political control over
Jerusalem.
