It contributes to the growing interest in the vital question of Muslim attitudes towards violence. Editors blurb: This volume offers the first hitherto available overview of the role of public violence in the history of Muslim societies. Islam is often perceived as a civilization breeding violence toward the outside. To counter such negative stereotypes, the approach of this volume is to stress the nature of violence as a means of political dominion. The volume demonstrates the diversity of attitudes toward violence within Muslim societies and thus helps to overcome essentialist assumptions about Islamic violence.ViolenceIslamic countriesViolenceIslamic countriesPublic opinionPublic opinionIslamic countriesMuslimsSocial conditionsIslam and social problemsIslamic countriesSocial conditionsViolenceViolencePublic opinion.Public opinionMuslimsSocial conditions.Islam and social problems.306.6091767BE 8660SEPArvkLange Christian Robert1975-1686680Fierro Ma.
