520 _a"Shah argues that the concept of self-defense in Islamic and International law is compatible. Al-Qaeda's declaration of Jihad does not meet Islamic legal test. Similarly, the invasion of Iraq does meet international legal test. Dr Shah examines those causes attributed to Islam and non-Islamic causes of terrorism and argues that the theory of 'reactive terror' provides the most plausible explanation for the so-called Islamic terrorism. The nature of conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq is changing and Muslim leaders (not including Al-Qaeda or pro Anglo-American governments) may, by consensus, declare Jihad if the occupying forces do not withdraw. Such declaration would be according to Islamic and international law. Introduction PART I Self-defense in Islamic Law Al-Qaeda, the Koran and Politics of Terrorism PART II Self-defense in International Law Legality of Iraq Invasion 2003 PART III Self-defence in Islamic and International Law: A Comparison Conclusion NIAZ A. SHAH received his PhD from Queen's University, Belfast, UK and a Certificate in International Human Rights Law from University of Nottingham."--Publisher's website.
