About Book

In Islam and Violence in the Modern Era, Beverley Milton-Edwards explores the complex relationship between Islamic ideologies and violence, examining how contemporary political, religious, and social factors contribute to radical movements within Muslim-majority regions. The book provides an in-depth analysis of how Islamic movements and terrorism have intersected with the broader global landscape of conflict, focusing on the political, social, and ideological causes of violent extremism in the modern age. Milton-Edwards highlights the evolving dynamics of radicalization and extremism within Muslim communities, exploring the implications of violence as a tool for political change. The book also addresses the peaceful coexistence efforts within these communities, especially the challenges of promoting interfaith harmony amidst such conflict. The examination of Islamic responses to violence and the ideological justifications for violence is crucial for understanding the broader dynamics of counterterrorism strategies, deradicalization, and post-conflict rehabilitation.
