Book Synopsis Violence in Islamic Thought from the Qur'ān to the Mongols by : Robert Gleave
Book excerpt: 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.
