Faith, War, and Violence analyzes the link between religion and violence perpetrated in the name of God, and the role religion performs in politically infusing the state with romantic spiritualism. The essays examine instances of this phenomenon, finding that religion-inspired violence is not restricted to Abrahamic faiths or to one geographic region. Subjects include the ideological and religious foundations that inspire Al-Qaeda; the long history of religious conflict in Ireland known as the Troubles; Sikh extremism; and the evolution of the Christian approach to war
