Fanaticism is a behavior that involves overzealous beliefs, usually political or religious. Fanaticism is an uncritical, unquestioning and naive state of mind. The fanatic's behavior is driven more by emotion than by reason and they don't possess the normal restraints that govern civilized human behavior. They will do anything to promote their cause and justify any harm that befalls innocent victims. A fanatic cannot change their mind, even when confronted with the error in their thinking and they are not open to any analysis of their cause or behavior. The fanatic has no tolerance for other ideas and opinions.

One element that must be present for fanaticism to develop is an obsessive personality along with a strongly held belief that the individual knows things that others do not know and they are absolutely correct in what they know. Fanaticism is self confirming. Also, conditioning of the young by older fanatics stunts the intellectual growth of young people and sets them on a path they cannot change in most cases. Examples are all forms of terrorism, the "church" that celebrates at U. S. military funerals as part of their ongoing attack against homosexuals, suicide bombers who kill innocent bystanders, anti-abortionists who murder doctors who perform legal abortions and religious groups who slaughter members of other religious groups.
