Description

This is the first book to journey to the heart of religious militancy. Dr. Neil 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. For those tired of simplistic bromides and obfuscating talk about the causes of religious terrorism, Kressel offers a clear and enlightening analysis of when and how religions become capable of inspiring evil. Specifically, he addresses the following key issues:

Are some religions, religious doctrines, and religious practices more apt to inspire hatred and extremism than others?

Are people who commit evil acts in the name of their faith always corrupting the true message of religion and, if so, what is that message?

Do other members of the same faith bear any responsibility for misdeeds carried out in the name of their religion?

Which sorts of people are most prone to extremism?
