How was violence justified in early Islam? What role did violent
actions play in the formation and maintenance of the Muslim
political order? How did Muslim thinkers view the origins and
acceptability of violence? These questions are addressed by an
international range of eminent authors through both general
accounts of types of violence and detailed case studies of violent
acts drawn from the early Islamic sources. Violence is understood,
widely, to include jiha d, state repressions and rebellions, and
also more personally directed violence against victims (women,
animals, children, slaves) and criminals. By understanding the
early development of Muslim thinking around violence, our
comprehension of subsequent trends in Islamic thought, during the
medieval period and up to the modern day, become clearer.
