Sommario/riassunto |
|
Since the Islamic resurgence began to make news, the Islamic idea of holy war, or ""jihad"", has been the subject of tremendous media attention - much of it sensationalistic. This study attempts to discover where and when the idea of jihad originated, and to trace its early development. |
