Sommario/riassunto

Responding to the current political climate of increased Islamist militancy, the growing influence of the Christian Right on US foreign policy and George Bush's war on terror, Media, Religion and Conflict offers a series of case studies reflecting on how the media covers religion as conflict within and between states. It challenges readers to critically examine how media reportage and commentary influences perceptions and responses to religion and security.
