Is Islam fundamentally violent? For influential New Atheists such
as Sam Harris, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and Richard Dawkins, the answer is
an emphatic yes, largely because of the Islamic doctrine of jihad.
According to this view, when al-Qaeda plotted 9/11 or ISIS planned
any one of its recent terrorist attacks, they were acting in accord
with Islamic scripture. Jihad, Radicalism, and the New Atheism
scrutinizes this claim by comparing the conflicting interpretations
of jihad offered by mainstream Muslim scholars, violent Muslim
radicals, and New Atheists. Mohammad Hassan Khalil considers
contemporary Muslim terrorism to be a grave problem that we must
now confront. He shows, however, that the explanations offered for
this phenomenon by the New Atheists are highly problematic, and
that their own interpretations of the role of violence in Islam
exceed those of even radicals such as Osama bin Laden. In showing
all of this, Khalil offers critical insights on a most pressing
issue.
