Nothing to do with Islam?: Investigating the West's Most Dangerous Blind Spot

One of the most depressing realities of modern life is the regularity with which deadly attacks are carried out in the name of Islam. Almost as depressing are the invariable reassurances by Western political leaders and media elites that these acts of violence had â€œnothing to do with Islamâ€. Yet, niggling doubts remain. Why, if Islam is indeed a â€œreligion of peaceâ€, do these attacks keep coming? Why are the vast majority of acts of terror in our world today carried out by people steeped in the teachings of the Qurâ€™an?

With his new book, â€œNothing to do with Islamâ€? - Investigating the Westâ€™s Most Dangerous Blind Spot, Peter Townsend (author of the highly acclaimed Questioning Islam - Tough Questions and Honest Answers about the Muslim Religion) examines the evidence as far as the possible link between Islam and violence is concerned. He does this by carefully analyzing the foundational texts of Islam (most notably the Qurâ€™an and traditions), as well as the canonical set of stock responses whenever such a link is asserted.

The question whether Islam promotes violence could very well be one of the most important questions ever faced by Western civilization. It deserves more attention and analysis than a few glib sound bites. Nothing to do with Islam? provides you with the opportunity to examine this question from all angles and come to your own conclusions.
