Arguing the Just War in Islam

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kelsay, John, PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, Jihad, with its ong>manyong> terrifying associations, is a term widely used today, though its meaning is poorly grasped.

Making use ong>ofong> original sources, Kelsay delves into ong>theong> tradition ong>ofong> shari'a--ong>Islamong>ic jurisprudence and reasoning--and shows how it defines jihad as ong>theong> ong>Islamong>ic analogue ong>ofong> ong>theong> Western "just" war.

"Arguing ong>theong> Just War in ong>Islamong>" provides a systematic account ong>ofong> how ong>Islamong>'s central texts interpret jihad, guiding us through ong>theong> historical precedents and Qur'anic sources upon which today's claims to doctrinal truth and legitimate authority are made. In illuminating ong>theong> broad spectrum ong>ofong> ong>Islamong>'s moral considerations ong>ofong> ong>theong> just war, Kelsay helps Muslims and non-Muslims alike make sense ong>ofong> ong>theong> possibilities for future war and peace.
