The impetus for the international propagation of these interpretations of Islam through the Muslim world was, according to political scientist Alex Alexiev, "the largest worldwide propaganda campaign ever mounted", David A. Al-Qaeda and international propagation of Salafism are Islamic fundamentalism.
