Religious terrorism poses a significant challenge for many
countries around the world. Extremists who justify violence in
God's name can be found in every religious tradition, and attacks
perpetrated by faith-based militants have increased dramatically
over the past three decades. Given the reality of religious
terrorism today, it would seem counterintuitive that the best
weapon against violent religious extremism would be for countries
and societies to allow for the free practice of religion; yet this
is precisely what this book argues. Weapon of Peace investigates
the link between terrorism and the repression of religion, both
from a historical perspective and against contemporary developments
in the Middle East and elsewhere. Drawing upon a range of different
case studies and quantitative data, Saiya makes the case that the
suppression and not the expression of religion leads to violence
and extremism, and that safeguarding religious freedom is both a
moral and strategic imperative.
