The Qur’an itself, the Muslim scripture, is full of peace verses urging returning good for evil and wishing peace upon harassers, alongside the verses on just, defensive war that have so often been misinterpreted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis groundbreaking volume, \u003cem\u003ePeace Movements in Islam\u003c\/em\u003e, fills a gaping hole in the literature on global peace movements, bringing to the fore the many peace movements and peacemakers of the Muslim world. From Senegalese Sufi orders to Bosnian women’s organisations to Indian Muslim freedom fighters who were allies of Mahatma Gandhi against British colonialism, it shows that history is replete with colourful personalities from the Muslim world who made a stand for peaceful methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PTY Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471332622572,"sku":"9780755643189","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780755643189-peace-movements-in-islam.jpg?v=1775240071","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/peace-movements-in-islam-9780755643189","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
