Muslim attitudes toward violence have been reshaped in light of the colonial context since the 18th and 19th centuries, and in response to regional and world-changing events of the contemporary period. This volume shows the diversity of approaches to violence in Islamic thought, avoiding the limiting characterisations of Islam being inherently ?violent? or ?peaceful?.0It shows how ideas of ?justified violence? ? grounded in Islamic theological and juristic traditions ? reoccur throughout history, up to the contemporary period. Chapters on earlier events provide context for contemporary debates on violence, showing how traditional legal and theological ideas (such as the sovereignty of God?s law and peace treaties) are used to both legitimise and de-legitimise violence.0'Violence in Islamic Thought from European Imperialism to the Post-Colonial Era' is the final volume in the 'Violence in Islamic Thought' trilogy. Taken together, the three books cover key aspects of violence in Islamic thought from the earliest time to the present day, mapping a trajectory of thinking about violence over 14 centuries of Islamic history.00Vol. 1: Violence in Islamic Thought from the Qur'an to the Mongols (2015) - ISBN 9780748694235 (hbk) / ISBN 9781474417938 (pbk)0Vol. 2: Violence in Islamic Thought from the Mongols to European Imperialism (2018) - ISBN 9781474413008 (hbk) / ISBN 9781474462600 (pbk)0Vol. 3: Violence in Islamic Thought from European Imperialism to the Post-Colonial Era (2021) - ISBN 9781474485500.
