ABOUT THE BOOK
fjrigjwwe9r0pp_Books:Description
This is the first book to journey
to the heart of religious militancy. Dr. Nell J. Kressel. Who has spent decades
researching genocide, terrorism, and anti- Semitism, brings to bear the
insights of psychology and social science on this significant and critical
problem. What separates constructive
religious impulses from destructive ones ?
How does someone Who begins by committing his
relationship with God end by committing an act of murder? Some argue that
religiously motivated evil always represents
a corruption of true religion. Others are quick to suggest that religion
itself- all religion-is the root of extremist violence.
