Warrant for Terror: The Fatwas of Radical Islam, and the Duty of Jihad

Warrant for Terror examines fatwas, which are legal opinions declaring whether a given act under Islam is obligatory, permitted or forbidden and which serve as a major instrument by which religious leaders impel believers to engage in acts of jihad. Bar explores the wide scope of issues that these fatwas deal with, covering almost all facets of Islamic law of war including the justification for declaring jihad, the territory in which the jihad should be fought; and whether women and children may participate in jihad.
