The violence against the Other in a historical critical deradicalizing perspective&#8221;<\/div>\n<p>The main target is to provide a de-radicalized exegesis of violence against the Other in the Qur\u2019an: from the first verse pronounced in chronological order to the last, without altering the historical reality and thus the cruelty of the Prophet Muhammad\u2019s age, but deconstructing the Islamic first century violence against the Other, as well as, the literary one as expressed in the Islamic revelation. This study will emphasize a historical- exegetical and juridical understanding in the tentative to re-shape the meaning of the Arab conquests, the development of an early Jihad meaning, the Islamic legal making of a warfare religious regulation. Violence in its religious premise as well as its adoption in Islam, has become a normal praxis both in reference to a sharp increase in internal conflict: not only between Sunni and Shi\u2019a, but among Muslims who support different radical points of view in relation to other religions: Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhist and atheism. This topic could be considered very popular; however, the exegetical -historical studies that focus on each individual verse as well as on the relationship between the Islamic revelation and the violence against non-Muslims, are limited and usually not linked to a historical-critical approach.<br \/>\nThis work raises the triple target of understanding, first of all, where and when single verses of \u201cviolence\u201d were pronounced, the early exegetical interpretation in relation to a literary and metaphorical understanding and finally the trivialized deconstruction adopted by Islamic fundamentalism today (Sayyid Qutb and Neo-Wahhabism, in specific).<\/p>\n<p>Marco Demichelis (Torino, 1979) is Marie Curie Fellow (IF, 2016) in Islamic Studies and History of Middle East within the ICS at the University of Navarra. He previously worked as Research Fellow within the Dept. of Religious Studies at the Catholic University of Sacred Heart in Milan (2013-2016) and as Adjunct Prof. in History of Islamic World at the University of Turin (2010-2012). He recently published for Gorgias Press (eds. with Paolo Maggiolini), The Struggle to Define a Nation: Rethinking Religious Nationalism in the Contemporary Islamic World, while he is finalizing a monographic work on Fana\u2019 an-Nar, the Annihiliation of Hell within Islamic Thought (forthcoming, Bloomsbury, 2018). In Italian he published several essays: Il Pensiero Mu\u2018 tazilita (PhD Diss., Torino: Harmattan, 2011), Storia dei Popoli Arabi. Dal Profeta Muhammad al XXI secolo (Torino: Anakelab, 2ed. 2015), L&#8217;Islam Contemporaneo. Sfide e Riflessioni tra Modernit\u00e0 e Modernismo (Torino: Anankelab, 2016), Etica Islamica. Ragione e Responsabilit\u00e0 (Milano: Edizioni Paoline, 2016).
