Review: "This book examines the relationship between jihad and genocide, past and presents. Richard L. Rubenstein, a respected scholar in the field of genocide studies, takes a close look at the violent interpretations of jihad and how they have played out in the past hundred years, from the Armenian genocide through current threats to Israel. Rubenstein's study of the potential for fundamentalism jihad to initiate targeted violence raises pressing questions in a time when questions of religious coexistence, particularly in the Middle East, are discussed urgently each day."--BOOK JACKET.
