| The State We Are In: Identity, Terror and the Law of Jihad |
|
|
|
At last, a significant and sustained Muslim commentary on 7/7. Aftab Malik is to be congratulated on identifying a new generation of western Muslim thinkers at ease with the social sciences and mainstream Sunni scholarship. An indispensable point of entry for policy makers, academics and the general reader.

In our current crisis it is imperative to hear sensible Muslim voices. This short book is a collection of such voices and its contents include pertinent social and political analysis as well as theological judgments and guidance. The Muslim community, indeed British society, needs to attend to both kinds of reflection.

This is a serious and thoughtful collection of essays by Muslim scholars and writers. It draws on a wide range of sources to assess the political and theological issues raised by violence conducted in the name of Islam. It deserves to be widely read, by Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

This thought-provoking collection of writings identifies and interrogates the complex reality and rhetoric of Islamic political radicalism in Britain today. Through a searching examination, it challenges the apparent monopoly on interpreting the faith that is claimed by Islamic radicals, and exposes the degree of misunderstanding that exists, among both Muslims and non-Muslims with respect to the concept of jihad.
Importantly, it does not pull its punches as far as critiquing government policy and exposing the limitations of current British Muslim leadership are concerned. As this collection makes clear, how to be British and Muslim - and what "being Muslim" more generally means - are key "life or death" questions facing Britain at the start of the twenty-first century, questions that none of us can afford to ignore, whether Muslim or not.

| This timely book explores the tragic and traumatic events of 7/7. It contains both a social scientific analysis and traditional exegesis of the Quran and the Sunna written by concerned Muslim scholars. These analyses are insightful for both Muslims and non-Muslims attempting to position the phenomena of British-born Muslims turning to "terror". The book is an impassioned plea for the reassertion of the mainstream values of traditional Islam to prevail against extremism, placing such values in the context of British multiculturalism and democracy. |

| ... an unusually frank book produced from within the Muslim community ... a useful answer to those who argue that Muslims are not prepared to face up to, and debate the difficult issues of our times .. |

... offers an opportunity to be circumspect of the theological inconsistencies that embarrass Islam and Muslims.

Shedding needed light on Islamic traditions of jihad, just war and martyrdom, this book should be welcomed by students and scholars, politicians and theologians, Muslims and non-Muslims.

For too long Muslims opposing extremism have contended themselves with saying what Islam does not say. Here we get a beautiful vision of what the tradition has said, and is saying.
