Violence in God's name : religion in an age of conflict

"Politicians, the media, and religious leaders are all quick to assure us that religion has no share of the blame for the terrorist campaigns and the ethnic and inter-communal conflicts that increasingly threaten our peace and security. In a passionate and powerfully-written analysis Oliver McTernan argues that unless this mindset is challenged the world will never eliminate the threat of faith-inspired terror."--Provided by publisher--
