Back Cover Text

A considerable number of people accuse Islam of being a religion that glorifies violence. At the centre of this criticism are often attacks on women, children, and other defenceless people that are attributed to Islam.

In the past, numerous groups have publicly claimed responsibility for such attacks, attempted to legitimise them Islamically, and elevated their alleged jihad to the highest principle in Islam.

The decisive question, however, is this: Does such conduct correspond to what emerges from the Islamic source texts?

This work seeks to contribute to answering that question through a scholarly analysis of the earliest source texts of Islam.
