The root causes of terrorism : a religious studies perspective

Masaeli, Mahmoud, 1954- (editor.). Sneller, Rico, 1967- (editor.).

Summary: "Fifteen years after the tragic events of 9/11, bombs are still exploding and innocent people are being killed by terrorist groups in both western and Islamic societies. Most of these sinisterly threatening events are motivated by religious claims, or are taking place in religiously affected places. Is religion the main cause of terrorism, or does terrorism still arise because of leaders who brainwash and coach future terrorists so that they kill under the banner of religion? The religious imagination seems to hold here an influential power in the creation of 'delusion' to orient the 'bigot' believers toward fulfilling their religious duty against those who are religious in a different way or are not religious at all. Religion, in this sense, is tightly allied with political aspirations"--Provided by publisher.
