Features: This book is titled "Historical Exploration of Contemporary Hot Issues in the Middle East—Religion and Secularism." More precisely, it takes five countries—Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Turkey, Iran, and Egypt—as examples, focusing on a striking issue in contemporary Middle Eastern studies: the relationship between Islamic fundamentalism and secularism. Additionally, the last two chapters of this book discuss the relationship between Orthodox Judaism, the Zionist movement, and the secular government of Israel. The inclusion of this content aims to provide readers with an understanding of the relationship between religion and secularism from the perspective of another religion in the Middle East.
