Abstract :The end of the bipolar system of power with relatively clear structures and few agents within the international system resulted in wide ranging discussions of the term `security`. There was an unspoken agreement of the necessity to broaden the term. New situations arose, old ones declined in importance. Religious concepts have always been an essential trigger for societal development, but were only rarely seen under the `umbrella of security`. Religious movements have been used for political purpose in a manifold sense. They were a means to push the development of society and they have also been obstacles to progress. We know that religion is an essential part in societal development insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(e.g. in the pre-phase of transformation in Central Europe or in ali countries with Islamic predominance);.
