Columnist Sanad Abdulla says in an article that fundamentalism is not only ideological or organizational and neither a personal or partisan behavior so that the Yemeni state could fulfill besieging it with security and police policies and tracing back its strings. It is a summation of the Yemeni constitutional, educational and cultural reality in addition it is part of the civil political activity. Thus it forms the basis of the Yemeni standing political system. It is a system educationally producing fundamentalism and guarantee it in the national life as being the foundation of the comprehensive legislative and legal structure for life link in Yemen. Hence it is difficult for the ruling party or other parties to meet any pledges to international circles on part of the Yemeni state concerning fighting fundamentalist terror and curb it infiltration into national life. This fundamentalism intended to be besieged by the military and security power is in fact an institutional and official fundamentalism and is consequently productive and easy to reproduce. It derives its influence from the present political system in addition to its being affected by the total international provocative circumstances that provide the best political environments for the growth of fundamentalist tide in Arab and Islamic countries in general.
