WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW JIHAD WHAT EVERYO...

The word jihad is ubiquitous in the global media. It generally appears in the context of
violence waged against the West by militants in or from Muslim-majority societies. This usage
overwhelmingly colors popular discourse about Islam and Muslims and it has resulted in a highly
reductive  distorted  and ahistorical understanding of the concept of jihad. Asma Afsaruddin
looks at the key questions about jihad and provides concise yet thorough answers. Jihad: What
Everyone Needs to Know ® provides a historically-grounded  scholarly yet accessible treatment
of jihad that explores its various dimensions from the formative period of Islam until the
contemporary period.
