Why does religion inspire hatred? Why do people in one religion
sometimes hate people of another religion, and also why do some
religions inspire hatred from others? This book shows how scholarly
studies of prejudice, identity formation, and genocide studies can
shed light on global examples of religious hatred. The book is
divided into four parts, focusing respectively on: theories of
prejudice and violence; historical developments of antisemitism,
Islamophobia, and race; contemporary Western antisemitism and
Islamophobia; and, prejudices beyond the West in the Islamic,
Buddhist, and Hindu traditions. Each part ends with a special focus
section. Key features include: - A compelling synthesis of theories
of prejudice, identity, and hatred to explain Islamophobia and
antisemitism. - An innovative theory of human violence and genocide
which explains the link to prejudice. - Case studies of both
Western antisemitism and Islamophobia in history and today,
alongside global studies of Islamic antisemitism and Hindu and
Buddhist Islamophobia - Integrates discussion of race and
racialisation as aspects of Islamophobic and antisemitic prejudice
in relation to their framing in religious discourses. - Accessible
for general readers and students, it can be employed as a textbook
for students or read with benefit by scholars for its novel
synthesis and theories. The book focuses on antisemitism and
Islamophobia, both in the West and beyond, including examples of
prejudices and hatred in the Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist
traditions. Drawing on examples from Europe, North America, MENA,
South and Southeast Asia, and Africa, Paul Hedges points to common
patterns, while identifying the specifics of local context.
Religious Hatred is an essential guide for understanding the
historical origins of religious hatred, the manifestations of this
hatred across diverse religious and cultural contexts, and the
strategies employed by activists and peacemakers to overcome this
hatred.
