Violence, law and tradition in Islam

Abstract

Hartmut Quehl, by consent of the “Martin Luther King” Order of Peace, lectures on the violence phenomenon, which has been politically motivated in the Middle East from the example of the Islamic State. This conference addresses with all academic and scientific rigor the phenomenon of the Islamic State and the violence lived, especially in Iraq, Syria and the Middle Eastern region.

It reveals the origins of this organization, its location within Islamic thought, motivations and the caliphate project as an ideal and as a physical space. Dr. Quehl analyzes the different expressions of terrorism expressed in the regional conflict, in particular Al-Qaeda and the Al-Nusra Front and their peculiarities and differences within the Islamic State. It tackles the main branches of Islam and expressions of power present in the countries in which it has become a government and the nature of its contradictions.
