Radical ideologies have had a significant impact on Muslims in different ways:

• In December 2007, a Muslim father in Canada called the police to confess that he strangled his 16-year-old daughter because she refused to wear a hijab.
• In 1979, Pakistan adopted an unjust rape law. For almost 30 years, hundreds of rape victims were jailed instead of their rapists.
• In Bangladesh, a radical party carried out more than a thousand bomb attacks across the country between 2000 and 2005.
• Violent conflicts between Muslim sects have been a never-ending source of destruction and suffering.

'An Islam-inspired Solution to Radicalism: A Peaceful and Practical Approach' showcases Dr. Eeshat Ansari's deep understanding of Islamic teachings. He focuses on Islam's firm denunciation of zulm (meaning injustice/oppression), a term that the Quran mentions as many as 291 times. Using this and other guidance from the Quran and ahadith, Dr. Ansari proposes a peaceful solution to end Muslim inter-sectoral and intra-sectoral conflicts.
Leaders like Sayyid Qutb and Syed Abul A'la Maududi claim it is the duty of Muslims to establish a global Islamic government by waging endless jihad. After carefully analyzing and critiquing their arguments, Dr. Ansari proves that nowhere does Islam mandate political dominance all over the world by waging jihad. He supports his claim by quoting several like-minded scholars.
Over the last few decades, mistaken interpretations have ruined millions of Muslims' and non-Muslims' lives and destabilized countries and entire regions.
Besides convincing analysis, Dr. Ansari suggests how individual Muslim men and women can help peacefully change the thinking of radical leaders and followers alike.
