Au nom de Dieu: Les guerres de religion d'aujourd'hui et de demain [French]

By Joseph Yacoub

Why does one kill in the name of God? What are the definitions of fanaticism and fundamentalism? What are the historical, economical and ethnic factors most likely involved in religious conflict? Why is a lasting peace impossible between Protestants and Catholics of Northern Ireland, Catholics, Christian Orthodox, and Muslims in ex-Yugoslavia, Muslims and Jews in Israel? Muslims and Christians in Indonesia, Muslims, Christians and Hindus in India, and Christians and Buddhists in Asia?

To combat ignorance and prejudice, the basis of practically all religious conflict, with the help of geography, statistics, definitions and possible scenarios, this is the first book to map out the present global situation of religious conflict and its predictable future. An essential read on the hatred, conflict, terrorism and genocide that, in the name of all that is holy, threaten the future of our planet.

Professor of international relations, specialist on religion and minorities, Joseph Yacoub has written several books and contributes regularly to French newspapers and magazines.
