Abdul Ghaffar Khan's Nonviolent Jihad, Lester R. Kurtz Jun 2011

Abdul Ghaffar Khan's Nonviolent Jihad, Lester R. Kurtz

Lester R. Kurtz

Examines Abdul Ghaffar Khan's nonviolent civil resistance rooted in Islam and growing out of a violent mountain culture in the Northwest Frontier Province of British India. The movement he mobilized counters the misunderstandings about Islam as fundamentally violent and the idea that nonviolent resistance cannot come out of a violent culture.
