This book is essential reading for anybody who wants to understand how the law really works in international affairs, and it throws a great deal of light on those international affairs themselves.; Edward S. Herman; This closely reasoned and carefully documented study is sad and grim, and necessary. Unless its lessons are heeded by citizens of the rich and powerful states, the fate of the world will be left to the whim of those with the guns and the faith to enforce their will.; Noam Chomsky They call it; collateral damage,; but legally and morally it is really mass murder. In Kosovo, America claimed its war was a; humanitarian intervention,; in Afghanistan; self-defense; and in Iraq, it claimed the authority of the Security Council of the United Nations. Yet each of these wars was illegal according to established rules of international law. According to these rules, illegal wars fall within the category of; supreme international crimes; . So how come the war crimes tribunals never manage to turn their sights on America and always wind up putting America's enemies -- the usual suspects -- on trial?This new book by renowned scholar Michael Mandel offers a critical account of America's illegal wars and a war crimes system that has granted America's leaders an unjust and dangerous impunity, effectively encouraging their illegal wars and the war crimes that always flow from them. 606 $aAggression (International law) 606 $aWar (International law) 606 $aWar crimes 606 $aCrimes against humanity 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y2001-2009 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAggression (International law) 615 0$aWar (International law) 615 0$aWar crimes. 615 0$aCrimes against humanity. 676 $a345/.0235 700 $aMandel$b Michael$0316727 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454738003321 996 $aHow America gets away with murder$91057417 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05051nam 2200673 450 001 9910820471403321 005 20230807193420.0 010 $a3-11-040589-X 010 $a3-11-040605-5 024 7 $a10.1515/9783110405897 035 $a(CKB)3710000000482398 035 $a(EBL)4006827 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001553643 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)16177643 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001553643 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)14795426 035 $a(PQKB)11208015 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4006827 035 $a(DE-B1597)444639 035 $a(OCoLC)952781830 035 $a(DE-B1597)9783110405897 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4006827 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11135111 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL838199 035 $a(OCoLC)935244114 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000482398 100 $a20160121h20152015 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Quranic Noah and the making of the Islamic prophet $ea study of intertextuality and religious identity formation in late antiquity /$fCarlos A.

Accordingly, this book tries to resituate the Qur'?n at the crossroads of the conversations of old, to which its parabiblical narratives witness, and explores how Muhammad?s image ? which was apparently modelled after that of the anonymous prophet repeatedly alluded to in the Qur'?n ? originally matched that of other prophets and/or charismatic figures distinctive in the late-antique sectarian milieu out of which Islam gradually emerged. Moreover, it contends that the Quranic Noah narratives provide a first-hand window into the making of Muhammad as an eschatological prophet and further examines their form, content, purpose, and sources as a means of deciphering the scribal and intertextual nature of the Qur'a?n as well as the Jewish-Christian background of the messianic controversy that gave birth to the new Arab religion. The previously neglected view that Muhammad was once tentatively thought of as a new Messiah challenges our common understanding of Islam?s origins. 410 0$aJudaism, Christianity, and Islam - Tension, Transmission, Transformation ;$vVolume 4. 606 $aRELIGION / General$2bisacsh 610 $aEschatology . 610 $aIntertextuality. 610 $aMuhammad. 610 $aQur'an. 615 7$aRELIGION / General. 676 $a297.2/46 700 $aSegovia$b Carlos A.$f1970-$01689703 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820471403321 996 $aThe Quranic Noah and the making of the Islamic prophet$94064961 997 $aUNINA
