"The Muslim world has

many problems. We conduct
90 percent of the world's ex-
ecutions, our jails hold 90
percent of the world's polit-
ical prisoners, we provide
the home for the richest and
poorest, we have terrible
demographic problems, the
worst environmental
calamities. You name it,
we've got it," he said.
"All of this cannot be solv-
ed by praying, chanting
slogans, kidnapping
Westerners and other forms
of terrorism which are prac-
ticed by many radical
Islamic groups . . . The real-

ity is that wherever Islam
has come to power or has had
a share of power, it has fail-
ed dismally. What we are
witnessing is the reaction of
people who are afraid of the
modern world, but in the
end, the Muslim world will
have to face the modern
world and become part of it."
Islamic fundamentalism
was radically accelerated by <
the Gulf War and it is now
being driven by the most
powerful financial engines
in the region: by Iran, which "---\
is actively seeking to export
its Islamic revolution, and
by Saudi Arabia and other
Gulf states, which are hop-
ing to buy time — and a
degree of protection.
The test for the in-
dustrialized world — with
Israel at the cutting edge —
is whether it can maintain __)
its equilibrium and prevent
the erosion of its value
system through the long
night of uncertainty that lies
ahead. In the immediate
future, raw survival will de- <
pend on the West's ability to
prevent the transfer of
weapons and technology
that will allow radical Islam
to dictate its uncompromis-
ing terms to the liberal
democracies, which are
perceived as the greatest
threat and the ultimate
evil. 0

for identity, culture and na-
tionalism."
The Middle East, he added,
is the birthplace of the three
monotheistic religions and it
is naturally the place where
people first turn back to re-
ligion "in a more vigorous
way. In the Middle East,
however, religion takes on a
political dimension as well.
The return to religion is not
just the search for a spiritual
anchor but also for a vehicle
of social and political
change."
Amir Taheri, a highly
respected Iranian journalist
now living in exile in Paris,
acknowledges the growing
importance of Islam in Mid-
dle East politics, but regards
it as pure escapism.

Military Workers
Protest Layoffs

Jerusalem (JTA) — Hun-
dreds of workers at Israel
Military Industries staged a
violent demonstration in
front of the Prime Minister's
Office, as the Cabinet was
discussing a major recovery
plan for the state-owned
firm.
The plan was prepared in
the wake of drastic cuts in
exports of military equip-
ment.
The recovery plan calls for
switching most of the
military industries to do-
mestically oriented in-
dustries.
It also means drastic cuts
in manpower, and the
dismissal of between 2,000
and 3,000 workers.
By this coming March,
some 25 percent of IMI's
work force could be
unemployed. And the wages
of remaining workers would
be reduced.
Four of the industry's

plants would be shut down.
Others might be merged.
The four plants which are
likely to be closed down are
in Jerusalem, Ma'alot,
Kiryat Shmona and the Tel
Aviv area.
Under the plan, about
$150 million would be set
aside for workers to be pen-
sioned off.
Workers outside the Prime
Minister's Office protested
the recovery plan, saying at
least two such plans were
prepared in the past two
years to no avail.
At times, the demon-
strators threatened to enter
the Prime Minister's office
by force, clashing with
police.
Knesset member Shlomo
Buhbut, the mayor of
Ma'alot, at one point got into
a fistfight with a policeman
as he tried to rescue a
worker who had been ar-
rested.
