Many believe that religious revival and political radicalism among Muslims who reside in the West reflects the traditions and conflicts of the Middle East or the wider Muslim world. But Islamic Salafism (fundamentalist religious radicalism) is above all a consequence of the globalization and Westernization of Islam, and of the decoupling of culture and religion more generally.
很多人相信：西方国家穆斯林们的宗教复兴和政治激进反映了中东地区、或是更广阔的穆斯林世界的传统与矛盾。但伊斯兰沙拉菲主义（原教旨主义宗教激进分子）首先是伊斯兰教全球化和西方化、以及更为广义的文化与宗教分离的恶果。
