Religion can be viewed from many different perspectives. People around the world have different religious values. One person's religious value will not match another person's religious values. Globalization as a whole has affected the way we view different religions and our feelings towards them; has moved towards a more symbolic representation of ideologies. Many have come to believe that the West is more superior than others. Martha Crenshaw argues that globalization is a key driver of terrorism because a comparison is made between countries that have less access to the means of production and others that have more access. Furthermore, most religions go against their respective beliefs and as far as Islam is concerned; they have neglected the ideologies of the West. To understand how religious values ​​are interconnected is through language games; we think a certain way because of power issues. There is a strong belief that Islam and politics are directly linked. They are related in the sense that the building blocks of religion dictate how they should behave in the political environment. Through this mandated behavior that the religion outlines, many have come to believe that its teachings are a form of terrorism. Mandaville argues that what challenged the Islamic link between politics and religion was the emergence of secularism, which ran counter to the belief that politics and religion could go together. Islam has been a religion accused of supporting terrorist activities around the world. Various hypotheses have been put forward to better understand the connections between what really lies behind the Islamic religion and politics. Peter Mandaville argues that Islam is dynamic and has changed over time; situated in time and politics. Through daily knowledge of what is happening in the world it is evident that Islamic followers have used different techniques to proclaim "power". The techniques employed are basically inflicting pain on the adversary through methods of kidnapping, hijacking and recruiting members (like Al-Qaeda in the Middle East) in order to make them a more powerful and more attractive group in their societies. According to Mandaville, Islam is directly linked to politics (they cannot be separated); Muslims wanted to challenge new technological innovations and new institutions without forgetting their religious values. Mandaville proclaims an important aspect of the Islamic religion. During the Ottoman Empire many Muslims gained significant power and began to interact with Europeans to transition to a more modern system; but times have changed.
