Muslim attitudes toward violence have been reshaped in light of the
colonial context since the 18th and 19th centuries, and in response
to regional and world-changing events of the contemporary period.
This volume shows the diversity of approaches to violence in
Islamic thought, avoiding the limiting characterisations of Islam
being inherently'violent' or 'peaceful'.It shows how ideas of
'justified violence' grounded in Islamic theological and juristic
traditions re-occur throughout history, up to the contemporary
period. Chapters on earlier events provide context for contemporary
debates on violence, showing how traditional legal and theological
ideas (such as the sovereignty of God's law and peace treaties) are
used to both legitimise and de-legitimise violence.This is the
final volume in the Violence in Islamic Thought trilogy. Taken
together the 3 books cover key aspects of violence in Islamic
thought from the earliest time to the present day, mapping a
trajectory of thinking about violence over fourteen centuries of
Islamic history.
