Author: TOWNSEND, PETER
One of the most depressing realities of modern life is the regularity with which deadly attacks are carried out in the name of Islam. Almost as depressing are the invariable reassurances by Western political leaders and media elites that these acts of violence had “nothing to do with Islam”.
Common Terms and Reassurances
As part of these reassurances, we regularly hear terms such as:
- Radical Islam
- Islamism
- Militant Islam
- 'So-called' Islamic State (ISIS)
- Jihadist
These terms are often used as if people who act violently on behalf of Islam are somehow perverting the pristine teachings of the Muslim religion.
Lingering Questions
Yet, niggling doubts remain:
- Why, if Islam is indeed a “religion of peace”, do these attacks keep coming?
- Why are the vast majority of acts of terror in our world today carried out by people steeped in the teachings of the Qur’an?
A Deep Dive into the Evidence
With his new book, “Nothing to do with Islam”? - Investigating the West’s Most Dangerous Blind Spot, Peter Townsend (author of the highly acclaimed Questioning Islam - Tough Questions and Honest Answers about the Muslim Religion) examines the evidence regarding the possible link between Islam and violence.
He does this by:
- Carefully analyzing the foundational texts of Islam (most notably the Qur’an and traditions).
- Reviewing the canonical set of stock responses whenever such a link is asserted.
Why This Question Matters
The question of whether Islam promotes violence could very well be one of the most important questions ever faced by Western civilization. It deserves more attention and analysis than a few glib sound bites.
What This Book Offers
Nothing to do with Islam? provides you with:
- An opportunity to examine this question from all angles.
- A chance to come to your own conclusions.
