{"product_id":"rebellion-and-violence-in-islamic-khaled-abou-el-fadl-9780521030571","title":"Rebellion and Violence in Islamic Law","description":"Khaled Abou El Fadl's book represents the first systematic examination of the idea and treatment of political resistance and rebellion in Islamic law. Pre-modern jurists produced an extensive and sophisticated discourse on the legality of rebellion and the treatment due to rebels under Islamic law. The book examines the emergence and development of these discourses from the eighth to the fifteenth centuries, and considers juristic responses to the various terror-inducing strategies employed by rebels--including assassination, stealth attacks and rape. The study demonstrates how Muslim jurists went about restructuring several competing doctrinal sources in order to construct a highly technical discourse on rebellion. Indeed many of these rulings may have a profound influence on contempoary practices. This is an important and challenging book which sheds light on the complexities of Islamic law, and pre-modern attitudes to dissidence and rebellion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Khaled Abou El Fadl\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521030579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521030571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Khaled Abou El Fadl","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946706895103,"sku":"9780521030571","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3ca3387c-64ce-4daf-9821-02775725bfe0.jpg?v=1681514672","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rebellion-and-violence-in-islamic-khaled-abou-el-fadl-9780521030571","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
