113. Islamic fundamentalism has been raging since Muhammed died in 632 with the Shia/Sunni split

The sectarian violence by Islamic fundamentalists on both sides has been a constant battle - with outright pitched battles buttressing low level terrorism on both sides in between.

Then there are periods such as the Ottoman empire where the fundamentalist terrorism and level of atrocity are notoriously well documented.

All of this is religious - certainly nothing to do with Marxism or nationalism.

And FWIW, I'd quibble also with your categorization of "western world" terrorism as either marxist or fascist solely... The American revolution was certainly sparked by (what the British termed) terrorist episodes like the infamous Tea Party in Boston Harbor... The French revolutionaries could also equally be labelled terrorists and they certainly were not motivated by Marx. Eric Rudolph was motivated by the Christian religion - and there are others but I'm too weary to actually expend a whole lot of brain power on it. Suffice to say there are other counter examples to your statement that solely marxist or fascist imho.

I will say however that in recent history, it really seems as though Islamic fundamentalist terrorism against the "west" appears to be in its own class lately in the frequency and brutality of the attacks.
