Religion-based political movements are not new in the history of humanity. However, the intensification and the internationalization of the movements since the last quarter of the 20th century have raised a question whether they constitute a threat or a chance of peace, security and sustainable development among the nation.

In accordance with the growing concern in this phenomenon, a group of socially engaged intellectuals met to share their knowledge, experience and reflection on the question. This book is one outcome of the meeting. It is not an exhaustive document on this highly important issue. It is intended to humbly introduce the problem to the public and to participate in the collective search for a solution.
