Muslim Nonviolence And The Future Of Islam
BY JEFFREY HALVERSON At a time when violent images of the Muslim world dominate our headlines, Western readers are growing increasingly interested in a different picture of Islam, the idea of Muslim nonviolence, and what it could mean for the world. But is nonviolence compatible with the teachings of Islam? Is it practical to suggest that Muslim societies must adopt nonviolence to thrive in todays world?
