Authored by James Dingley, Chairman of the Francis Hutcheson Institute (UK), and Marcello Mollica of the University of Pisa (Italy), the book was translated into Arabic by Ali Al-Haris.

The book provides a bold attempt to crystallize a scientific and precise understanding of religious conflicts throughout history. It tackles complex themes including:

·        Theoretical Foundations: An exploration of classical social theory regarding religious violence, terrorism, and the concepts of war and objectivity.

·        Contemporary Case Studies: A detailed examination of modern religious terrorism.

·        The Uyghur Question: A specific focus on the religious independence movement in East Turkestan (Xinjiang), offering sociological and linguistic insights into the Uyghur Muslim minority.

·        Identity Politics: Analysis of ethnic and religious minorities, marginalized identities, and the dynamics of nationalism.

RCD presents this work as a professional, unconstrained academic inquiry into the reality of religious friction and component struggles within societies. It serves as an essential entry point for understanding the current religious landscape and inter-communal conflicts in the Arab world and beyond.
