Description
As with any hot-button topic, the need for a balanced understanding is crucial. This collection of essays evenly explores various controversies and issues related to Islamic militancy. Is the Qur'an inherently violent and intolerant? Do perceptions of Islamic militancy stem from poor translations of the Qur'an? Has U.S. foreign policy contributed to the rise of Islamic militancy? Should Muslim immigrants renounce terrorist acts carried out in the name of Islam? This book asks and answers hard-hitting questions in a pro versus con format so that readers receive a balance of information. They will activate their critical thinking skills to form their own informed and intelligent opinions.
