Více o knize

Ibn Warraq challenges prevailing misconceptions about Islamic terrorism, asserting that understanding the beliefs of jihadists is crucial. He contends that terrorist acts are not random violence but strategic operations by educated Muslims aiming to establish an Islamic state governed by Shari'a. Warraq traces the roots of this phenomenon back to the seventh century, emphasizing that it is deeply intertwined with Islamic theology and history. He analyzes the writings of influential Islamic thinkers, revealing how their ideas inform contemporary jihadist motivations.
