This monograph delves into the Koran and hadith to articulate a means by which Islamic militancy can be countered ideologically. The authors expose contradictions and alternative approaches in the core principles that groups like al-Qaida espouse. They argue that the proper use of Islamic scripture actually discredits the tactics of al-Qaida and other jihadist organizations. This monograph provides a basis for encouraging Muslims to challenge the theology supported by Islamic militants.
