About this book
In this book, Vickie Janson examines the potential impact of Islam on Australian society. It gives insight into the jihad – or struggle – of competing ideas in our multicultural world.
For over seven years, Vickie and her husband Micheal have actively engaged with the Australian Muslim community, seeking to understand the religion from an ideological and personal perspective. This means that Vickie has succeeded in cutting through prejudice and getting to the heart of the issue, creating a book that is the result of careful research and face to face conversations with Muslim friends, clerics and academics.
Ideological Jihad is a book for everyone interested in the future of our society, and the impact of Islam. The book is framed as an open letter to Waleed Aly, author of the influential book People Like Us: How arrogance is dividing Islam and the West (Picador Australia, 2007). It is an extremely accessible and interesting read – open to people familiar withthe main issues of the debate as well those who simply want to understand Islam better.
Ideological Jihad provides intelligent asks important questions, including, “Is it Islamophobia to resist the propagating of an undemocratic alternative legal system to Australian law?” and “Is it Islamophobia to resist the fostering of sharia when it represents an unconstitutional unification of religion and state?”
