ABSTRACT
The God of Abraham insisted on observance of the primitive law and established himself as the arbiter of its transmission from generation to generation. The God of the Islamic fundamentalists, on the other hand, seduces his followers by eliminating everything human in them as well as any consideration for life; in demanding submission and the extreme sacrifice from the believer, this God reveals his true perverse, cruel nature. Any religious system harbours dangers when it aspires to uniqueness and the imposition of its beliefs on others by means of violence. In the fundamentalist religious variant, divine intransigence privileges only those who appease God’s fury. To approach his God, a believer must first of all become pure, abandon earthly needs, and eventually give up even the wish to live. God, as the ideal object of fundamentalism, is the representative of a moral practice based on submission and on the veneration of savagery and revenge.
