The only networks of radical protest are Islamic, but they recruit from among the same social categories (outcasts from the educated middleclass and dropouts from the working class), carry the same hatred for "burgeouis" values and attitudes, have the same targets (imperialists) and often the same pet guerrillas (Palestine), claim to be internationalist (Ummah instead of the international working class), and are built on the same generation gap (retionalised in terms of returning to the fundamentals to oppose the cultural and political alienation of the preceding generation.....
