How was violence justified in early Islam? What role did violent actions play in the formation and maintenance of the Muslim political order? How did Muslim thinkers view the origins and acceptability of violence? These questions are addressed by an international range of eminent authorsthrough both general accounts of types of violence and detailed case studies of violent acts drawn from the early Islamic sources. Violence is understood widely, to include jihad, state repressions and rebellions, and also more personally directed violence against victims (women, animals, children, slaves) and criminals. By understanding the early development of Muslim thinking around violence, our understanding of subsequent trends in Islamic thought, during the medieval period and up to the modern day, become clearer. About the series: Legitimate and Illegitimate Violence in Islamic Thought explores how violence has been legitimized, normalized or censured by Muslim writers, tracing the history of the argumentation across time and between regions and traditions. | Violence in Islamic Thought from the Qur'an to the Mongols by Robert Gleave, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
