Faith at Suicide : Lives in Forfeit - Violent Religion - Human Despair
ISBN: 9781845191108 / Angielski / Miękka / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Purposeful suicide in contemporary Islam and the deep pathos in its frequency for religious ends is the main impulse to the topic of Faith at Suicide. The Islamic phenomenon needs to be set in a wider context which reckons with suicide s incidence elsewhere, with its uneasy associations in martyrdom and with how it interrogates or is interrogated by the ethics of religious faith. The enigma of wilful suicide is no less a challenge to sanity or compassion when such faith is absent from the deed or dimly yearned for by it. I am pregnant with my cause, orators may boast. But they were never...

Enigma of Islamist Violence
ISBN: 9781850658368 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The debate surrounding Islamist violence remains locked in oppositional sterility.

This book aims to transcend both the culturalist or underdevelopment explanations by focusing on the highly variegated nature of the phenomenon. For example, suicide attacks are relatively common in Kashmir and Israel/Palestine but almost non-existent in...
