How can we think ethically about religious violence and terrorism, especially in the wake of such atrocities as 9/11?Known for his skillful interrogation of ethical issues as they pertain to religion, politics, and culture, Richard B. Miller returns to the basic tenets of liberalism to divine an ethical response to religious extremism. He questions how we should think about the claims and aspirations of political religions, especially when they conflict so deeply with liberal norms and practices, and he suggests how liberal critics can speak confidently in ways that respect cultural and religious difference.Miller explores other concerns within these investigations as well, such as the protection of human rights and a liberal democratic commitment to multicultural politics. In relating religion and ethics, he develops a new lens for viewing political religions and their moral responsibilities. This probing inquiry also forces us to rethink our response to 9/11. 410 0$aColumbia series on religion and politics. 606 $aViolence$xReligious aspects 606 $aTerrorism$xReligious aspects 606 $aPolitical violence 606 $aLiberalism 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aWar$xReligious aspects 606 $aToleration$xReligious aspects 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aViolence$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aTerrorism$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aPolitical violence. 615 0$aLiberalism. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aWar$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aToleration$xReligious aspects. 676 $a201/.763325 700 $aMiller$b Richard Brian$f1953-$0511740 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458646103321 996 $aTerror, religion, and liberal thought$92473029 997 $aUNINA
