Book Description:
We suddenly find ourselves with very little knowledge of a religion and culture that continues to have an enormous impact on our world. Through a close reading of the Qur'an, Khaled Abou El Fadl shows that injunctions to violence against nonbelievers stem from misreadings. Even jihad, or so called holy war, has no basis in Qur'anic text or Muslim theology, but instead was an outgrowth of social and political conflict.
