What change in Middle Eastern society in the 20th century can be attributed to the rise of religious fundamentalism?

Answer:
A. Nationalism has become stronger as fundamentalists have rejected Western democracies
Explanation:
The religious fundamentalism in the Middle East is very powerful. It is heavily involved and very influential in everything that happens in the politics and in the private lives of the people. In lot of ways it reminds of the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages. This is a very big problem because the religious fundamentalists mange to brainwash the youngsters and they recruit people in order to make them radicals, and in general they succeed in that. This results in the societies of the Middle East to go backwards instead of forward as the rest of the world, living in the past and having a dream and goal to create a new Islamic Caliphate.
