Zusammenfassung: | After 9/11, many writers have posited that the relationship between Islam and violence is either elemental or anomalous. Khaleel Mohammed describes Islam as transcending the usual understanding of religion, being instead like a "sacred canopy" that provides meaning for every apsect of life. In addition, he shows that violence has both physical and psychological dimensions and expounds at length on jihad.
