Sinossi
Essential reading for students of the war on Islamist terrorism, and how really to win it: the possibility of intelligent political dialogue with and within the modern Islamic world/Middle East. The US govt. 9/11 Commission Report names theologian-activist Ibn Taymiyya (died 699 years ago) as wellspring of modern Islamist militancy, esp. its al-Qaeda brand. This book presents translation of Ibn Taymiyya's fatwas on how Muslims must act under the rule of unbelievers or misbelievers. It shows the misreading of Ibn Taymiyya by neo-Orientalist scholars AND by certain violent Islamists (among them, the assassins of Anwar Sadat, and a teacher and companion of Osama bin Ladin). In theory and practice Ibn Taymiyya advocated force only against foreign invaders; he forbade use of force against established authorities; himself died in prison for outspoken criticism of the State, without resort to force or sedition of any kind.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Soft cover. Condizione: New. Muslims Under Non-Muslim Rule By Ibn Taymiyya on Fleeing from Sin Kinds of Emigration Status of Mardin: Domain of Peace / War domain composite The Conditions for Challenging Power Text translated annotated and presented in relation to six modern readings of the Mardin fatwa by Yahya Michot. Foreword: James Piscatori Paperback 190 Pages ISBN: 9780955454561 Publisher: Interface Publications About The Book Modern Islamist ideologues often appeal to the authority of Ibn Taymiyya (d. 1328) -- according to the Militant Ideology Atlas more than twice as often as to Ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (of 'Wahhabism' fame). Many Western specialists also paint him as the godfather of uncompromising violent jihadism. In this book, Michot overturns this conventional picture of Ibn Taymiyya. He presents a close, careful translation of four fatwas by Ibn Taymiyya on how Muslims should respond when they come under the non-Muslim rule: should they fight or quit such rule; if they should adjust to it, how and how far? Next, Michot translates passages from six modern authors reflecting on the same question, and referring to Ibn Taymiyya. Readers can judge for themselves how far modern militancy departs from the orthodox Islamic attitudes exemplified by Ibn Taymiyya. A detailed chronology of the life of this activist theologian shows that he practised what he preached. The Foreword by James Piscatori draws out the political implications of this stunning correction of the image of Ibn Taymiyya. It means that Islamic political activism need not be unintelligible, and response to it, therefore, needs to be more intelligent and nuanced than it usually is. This book should be required reading for teachers and students of the overlaps between religion, politics, identity and culture in Political Science, Religious Studies/Theology, the Middle East/ Islamic Studies, International Relations, Counter-Terrorism.
