Islamic Fundamentalism in the Middle East has led to increased instability in numerous countries and the formation of paramilitary groups dedicated to overthrowing the current quasi-secular dictatorships in Middle Eastern countries. However, since the government objectives of the Islamic Fundamentalists are even worse than those currently advocated by Arab secular dictators, there is a serious divide between the Secularists and Minorities who support the Arab dictators and the Salafists and Islamists who support the Salafist and Islamic Fundamentalist leaders.
