Description:

This text explains what religious terrorists and religious peacemakers share in common and what causes them to take different paths in fighting injustice. It proposes that a deeper understanding of religious extension must be integrated more effectively into our thinking about conflict.

Synopsis:

Terrorists and peacemakers may grow up in the same community and adhere to the same religious tradition. The killing carried out by one and the reconciliation fostered by the other indicate the range of dramatic and contradictory responses to human suffering by religious actors. This book explains what religious terrorists and religious peacemakers share in common, what causes them to take different paths in fighting injustice, and how a deeper understanding of religious extremism can and must be integrated more effectively into our thinking about tribal, regional, and international conflict.
