Sheikh Moussa Kamara's Islamic Critique of Jihadists - Hardcover

by Mbaye Bashir Lo (Other), David Robinson (Afterword by), Moussa Kamara Moussa Kamara (Author)

If peace is at the foundation of the Islamic message, then waging any types of jihad as a means of imposing change or gaining power will run counter to the nature of Islam. Politics is a self-serving arena most suited to those who desire fame; therefore, any call for jihad within a political context deprives jihad of its spiritual roots.
