Terrorism and Suicide Bombings: An Islamic Perspective, by Dr. Ergün Çapan

This book was written by different authors, each equally competent. It presents in a clear and precise way and from an Islamic point of view, the refutations of violence, terrorism, murder, suicide bombings and assassinations. This is why this work could very well have had the title: “Perspectives on the search for peace in Islam. This book, which was prepared with all honor and pride , is not the result of a defensive reflex. This book has the quality of an offer of interreligious and intercultural dialogue that I thought was almost impossible in Germany.
