Religious terrorism has become the scourge of the modern world. What causes a person to kill innocent strangers in the name of religion? As both a clinical psychologist and an authority on comparative religion, James W. Jones is uniquely qualified to address this increasingly urgent question. Research on the psychology of violence shows that several factors work to make ordinary people turn “evil.” These include feelings of humiliation or shame, a tendency to see
the world in black and white, and demonization or dehumanization of other people. Authoritarian religion or “fundamentalism,” Jones shows, is a particularly rich source of such ideas and feelings, which
he finds throughout the writings of Islamic jihadists, such as the 9/11 conspirators. Jones goes on to apply this model to two very different religious groups that have engaged in violence: Aum Shinrikyo, the Buddhist splinter group behind the sarin gas attacks in the Tokyo subway system, and members of the extreme religious right in the U.S. who have advocated and committed violence against abortion providers. Jones notes that not every adherent of an authoritarian group
will turn to violence, and he shows how theories of personality development can explain why certain innaviduals are easily recruited to perform terrorist acts.
