Review
I believe this is the most important book on the topic of peace and conflict resolution in relation to Islam. –Robert Harrison, author of Britain in the Middle East 1619-1971 and professor at Southern Oregon University
The peacebuilding function of religion has never been more significant and urgent in its contribution than in our contemporary world. It is precisely this peace enhancing function of religion that is gradually reemerging, struggling to bring to the forefront of cultures and history the challenges of a more spiritual perspective, which places humanity and the peaceful resolutions of differences and conflicts at the heart of authentic religiosity. This urgency and challenge is precisely what drives the work of Mr. Flamur Vehapi…In a spiritually sensitive, intellectually credible, and in a socially conscious manner, Mr. Vehapi presents the historical and spiritual foundations of Islam, making the case that in its authentic spirituality, Islam is a religion of peace. –Harry Anastasiou, professor of International Peace and Conflict Studies at Portland State University
A work of the utmost importance on the subject of peace and conflict resolution … Timely and vital to our modern societies. –Didmar Faja, author and imam in Phoenix, AZ, United States
