The Place of Tolerance in Islam (1st Edition) by Joshua (Editor) Cohen, Ian (Editor) Lague Paperback, 128 Pages, Published 2002 ISBN-10: 0-8070-0229-1 / 0807002291 ISBN-13: 978-0-8070-0229-2 / 9780807002292 Khaled Abou El Fadl, a prominent critic of Islamic puritanism, leads off this lively debate by arguing that Islam is a deeply tolerant religion. Injunctions to violence against nonbelievers stem from misreadings of the Qur'an, he claims, and even jihad, or so-called holy war, has no basis in Qur'ani |
