Amjad-Ali, Charles2019-09-252019-09-252012-03-122006http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12424/183997This book sketches the history of Islamophobia including how the events of 9/11 have viciously fed that "hatred of Islam" by objectifying or characterizing all Muslims as threats, terrorists, infidels, barbarians, uncivilized, untrustworthy, etc. Prof. Charles Amjad-Ali dispels the myths and distortions which feed Islamophobia and challenges its rise as a modern manifestation of racism in the 21st century. To achieve this, he specifically discusses such critical issues as women, democracy, human rights and the role of justice in Islam, as well as the Islamic understanding of the relationship between religion and politics. He challenges us to tear our veils of ignorance and begin to engage in a serious discussion about restorative justice.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderIslamrestorative justiceChristian-Muslim RelationsIslamophobiaenemyCultural ethicsReligious ethicsCultural/intercultural ethicsComparative religion and interreligious dialogueChristian-MuslimBook
