Abstract "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"-- Provided by publisher.
