Faith, Reason And The War Against Jihadism
“History
must be made to march in the direction of genuine human progress; world affairs
have no intrinsic momentum that necessarily results in the victory of decency.
Maintaining the morale necessary to achieving progress in history requires
us to live our lives, today, against a moral horizon of responsibility that
is wider and deeper than the quest for personal satisfactions. The future
of our civilization does not rest merely on the advance of material wealth
and technological prowess; the future of the West turns on the question of
whether our spiritual aspirations are noble or base.”
—from Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism
More than half a decade after 9/11, safe passage through a moment of history
fraught with both peril and possibility requires Americans across the political
spectrum to see things as they are.
In this incisive, engaging study of the present danger and what we must do
to prevail against it, George Weigel, one of America’s foremost public
intellectuals, does precisely that: he sees, and describes, things as they
are—and as they might be. Drawing on a quarter century of experience
at the intersection of moral argument and public policy, he describes rigorously
and clearly the threat posed by global jihadism: the religiously inspired
ideology which teaches that it is the moral obligation of all Muslims to employ
whatever means are necessary to compel the world’s submission to Islam.
Exploring that ideology’s theological, social, cultural, and political
roots, Weigel points a new direction for both public policy and interreligious
dialogue, one that meets the challenge of jihadism forthrightly while creating
the conditions for a less threatening, more mutually enriching encounter between
Islam and the West.
Essential reading in a time of momentous political decisions, Faith, Reason,
and the War Against Jihadism is a clarion call for a new seriousness of debate
and a new clarity of purpose in American public life.
“This brilliant little book is, quite simply, the best analysis of the
role played by religion in what I call World War IV.”
—Norman Podhoretz
“Absolutely masterful: the moral principles, the strategy, and the tactics
to win this war for the survival of the West and democracy are all here—coherent
and persuasive. Osama bin Laden and Ahmadinejad will hate this little book
above all others.”
—R. James Woolsey, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency
“A stirring book: the battle of ideas against Islamist radicalism is
now fully joined. George Weigel—a brilliant author with deep knowledge
of theology and practical politics—provides a way forward for the western
democracies. A badly needed and urgent book.”
—Fouad Ajami, director of the Middle East Studies Program at Johns Hopkins
