Description
The Islam in Islamic Terrorism: The Importance of Beliefs, Ideas, and Ideology by Ibn Warraq Ibn Warraq challenges common misconceptions about the causes of Islamic terrorism, arguing that the beliefs and ideology of the terrorists are crucial to understanding the phenomenon. He contends that Islamic terrorism is not a recent development, but rather a long-standing campaign by educated, affluent Muslims seeking to establish an Islamic state based on the Shari'a. Warraq examines the writings of key Islamic thinkers, including Ibn Taymiyya and modern activists, to shed light on the roots of Islamic terrorism. He explores the concepts of jihad and Commanding Right and Forbidding Wrong, and how these ideas have been interpreted and applied by Islamic extremists. By understanding the intellectual and historical context of Islamic terrorism, Warraq aims to provide a nuanced and informed analysis of this complex issue. This book offers a thought-provoking exploration of the intersection of Islamic theology, history, and politics, and is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the underlying causes of Islamic terrorism.
