Sommario/riassunto |

In the US roughly 2 million people are incarcerated; billions of animals are held captive (and then killed) in the food industry every year; hundreds of thousands of animals are kept in laboratories; thousands are in zoos and aquaria; millions of 'pets' are captive in our homes. Though conditions of captivity vary widely for humans and for other |

animals, there are common ethical themes that imprisonment raises. This volume brings together scholars, scientists, and sanctuary workers to address the ethical issues captivity raises. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This collection of non Western scholarly voices is a long awaited remedy to the lack of critical commentary by Muslim intellectuals on the nature of modern Jihadi terrorism and the political debate within Islam over the direction of resistance to modernization and secularization of traditional societies. The work is divided into three parts: 1) Understanding the Islamist Mind 2) Understanding Islamism and Politics 3) Beyond Jihad: Expanding the Circle of Sanity Major figures such as Dr. Ali Sina, Sayeed M. Said and Syed Kamran Mirza contribute previously unpublished essays; indeed the work has virtually new essays from all contributors. With historical introductions by Dr Kim Sheinbaum and Jamal Hasan. |
