Ha Hong-gyu: Religion and Terrorism

Since the crash of Al Qaeda's kidnapper with the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, terrorism and religious relations have been particularly controversial, but they seem to have failed to find a correct answer in the last 20 years or so. Some people see the terrorists who resort to violence in the name of religion, while others say that religion is a cause of terrorism, and others see it as a distortion of their use for political purposes. Ask yourself: ‘ Is religion a problem or a victim in terrorism? This book gives a broad range of insights into religion and terrorism through the perspective of researchers who have multiple approaches and theoretical orientations (at times, on inter-aggressive boundaries). The 16 articles are theoretical and varied in their analysis of Islam, terrorism, martyrdom, sacrifices, ethnic liberation movements, and the martyrdom of the Faron Palace. You will see through this book how pointless, or rather unintelligible, is the stigma of religion, especially its irrational fanaticism, which causes terrorism, and its labeling of “Muslim is a terrorist” has been so futile that it would be hard to understand.
