Self-defense in Islamic and International Law: Assessing Al-Qaeda and the Invasion of Iraq
Description
The book argues that the concept of self-defense in Islamic and International law is compatible. Al-Qaeda's declaration of Jihad does not meet the Islamic legal test. Similarly, the invasion of Iraq does meet the international legal test.
