The violent conquest of the eastern part of the lands under Muslim
rule by the Mongols marked a new period in the history of Islamic
civilisation and in attitudes towards violence. This volume
examines the various intellectual and cultural reactions of Muslim
thinkers to these events, both within and without the territories
subjected to Mongol control. Each chapter examines how violent acts
were assessed by Muslim intellectuals, analysing both changes and
continuity within Islamic thought over time. Each chapter is
structured around a case study in which violent acts are justified
or condemned, revealing the variety of attitudes to violence in the
medieval period. They are framed by a detailed introduction,
focusing on theoretical perspectives on violence and religion and
their application, or otherwise, to medieval Islam.
