Islam and Suicide Attacks Paperback / softback
by Pieter (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, The Netherlands) Nanninga
Part of the Elements in Religion and Violence series
Paperback / softback
Description
This Element explores the disputed relationship between Islam and suicide attacks.
Drawing from primary source material as well as existing scholarship from fields such as terrorism studies and religious studies, it argues that Islam as a generic category is not an explanatory factor in suicide attacks.
Rather, it claims that we need to study how organisations and individuals in their particular contexts draw tools such as Islamic martyrdom traditions, ritual practices and perceptions on honour and purity from their cultural repertoire to shape, justify and give meaning to the bloodshed.
