Abstract

Background and Aim: The origins of terrorist religious fundamentalists in Iraq go back to the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood in Iraq. Despite the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood has introduced itself to the Islamic world in a peaceful manner, most of the leaders of the terrorist fundamentalist groups in Iraq have risen from within the Muslim Brotherhood. The societies that existed in the past have been traditional societies. There are two categories of societies today: modern and transitional. Societies are transitioning to societies that are partly modern and partly traditional. These societies are gradually moving towards modernity with modernization. And they usually deal with the crisis. The purpose of this article is to examine the impact of modernity on the emergence of radical religious founders in Iraq.
Method: The present article was conducted as a survey using descriptive-analytical method and questionnaire tools. The statistical population of the study included 354 people, including selected political and security experts, and according to Morgan's table, the sample was estimated at 178 people. In order to analyze and analyze the information and data collected through the questionnaire, SPSS software and T and regression tests were used.
Findings: According to the research findings, all the mentioned variables were effective in the emergence of religious and terrorist fundamentalists in Iraq, but in comparison with them, the components of culture (media) with an average of 2.99% had the greatest impact on the subject and then social components and It has been cultural, political and economic.
Conclusion: According to theories of modernity, negative interpretations of Islam, the social, economic and cultural crises of Iraq on the one hand and the intervention of foreign actors and their regional allies to maintain their position in the balance of power led to the emergence of fundamentalists terrorism.
