Because the name indicates, John Kelsay argues for a "just conflict" conception within the historical past of Islam, in accordance the Islamic students he cites; in keeping with Islamic (Sharia) legislations, etc., hence defying the violent historical past of Islamic jihad, in addition to modern violent jihad and Koranic-inspired Islamic (imperial) expansionism and supremacism.
Islamic legislations, in accordance with Kelsay, argues for defense of non-combatants and civilians, the security of blameless non-Muslim ladies and youngsters, etc., whilst the Qur'an make no such provision of mercy towards unbelievers. Unbelievers needs to be killed (converted) or subjugated during this international; they're consigned to hell-fire (or everlasting torment) within the hereafter.
Osama bin encumbered isn't a real Muslim. this is often inferred from Kelsay's publication. How can he or his fans be precise Muslims or religious Muslims? Bin encumbered is a heretic; an apostate. simply, what Islamic pupil of reputation positioned within the heart East, has learn bin encumbered out of Islam? Does Kelsay say? The Sept. 11 terror-atrocities run counter to Kelsay's simply struggle idea of Islam defined in his tendentious ebook. finally, Kelsay argues Islam doesn't sanction the mindless slaughter of innocents. For reasons of analysis I gave this ebook a famous person ranking.

Example text
In the place of manliness and associated virtues, there are piety and obedience to God and God’s Prophet. In the place of fame, there is the promise of resurrection and judgment. And finally, in the place of the sunna of the ancestors, there are the Qurêan and the example of the Prophet. The Natural Religion of Humanity In one sense, the story of Muhammad is self-contained. The narrative by which Muslims speak of the Prophet’s call and his struggles with the Meccans is one that needs no additional data.
To that end, they strive for goods that enable them to negotiate the realities of the natural, and especially the social, world. Such striving yields some success. But “some success” is never “enough”; someone else always has more, and this state of affairs means that no one is ever really secure. And, in the end, the quest for security must be futile, because all human beings must die. The quest for security inhibits reflection and, with it, the kind of awareness of God associated with submission.
We must go further, however. When Moses brought the Torah to the people of Israel, he did not found a religion called Judaism. Moses proclaimed al-islam, that submission which is the natural or appropriate condition of God’s creatures. Judaism is an add-on, created by later generations who inherited the preaching of Moses, and then added to or took away from the Torah. Similarly, Jesus brought the Gospel to the people of the messiah, but he did not found Christianity. That term refers to the practice of followers of Jesus, some of whom were faithful, while others interpreted the Gospel in ways that mixed error with the truth that Jesus proclaimed—that is, the truth of submission.
