دانلود کتاب Arguing the Just War in Islam

As the title suggests, John Kelsay argues for a "just war" theory in the history of Islam, according the Islamic scholars he cites; according to Islamic (Sharia) law, etc., thus defying the violent history of Islamic jihad, as well as contemporary violent jihad and Koranic-inspired Islamic (imperial) expansionism and supremacism.

Islamic law, according to Kelsay, argues for protection of non-combatants and civilians, the protection of innocent non-Muslim women and children, etc., when the Qur'an make no such provision of mercy toward unbelievers. Unbelievers must be killed (converted) or subjugated in this world; they are consigned to hell-fire (or eternal torment) in the hereafter.

Osama bin Laden is not a true Muslim. This can be inferred from Kelsay's book. How can he or his followers be true Muslims or devout Muslims? Bin Laden is a heretic; an apostate. Only, what Islamic scholar of repute situated in the Middle East, has read bin Laden out of Islam? Does Kelsay say? The 9/11 terror-atrocities run counter to Kelsay's just war theory of Islam described in his tendentious book. After all, Kelsay argues Islam does not sanction the senseless slaughter of innocents. For purposes of research I gave this book a two star rating.
