In Reclaiming Jihad: A Qur'anic Critique of Terrorism, ElSayed Amin
presents a detailed critique of institutional and legal definitions
of terrorism. He engages the Qur'an exegetical tradition, both
classical and contemporary, to critique key verses of the Qur'an
that have been misread to establish violence as a relational norm
between Muslims and non-Muslims. This pioneering work is a
sustained scholarly attempt to separate Islamic jihad, as well as
the notion of armed deterrence, from modern terrorism through the
examination of the 9/11 terrorism attacks, and it proposes legal
proscriptions for terrorism from the Qur'an, on the basis of its
political, social and psychological impacts.
