Summary

Transnational religious and faith-based movements play crucial roles in peacebuilding with their strong faith-based motivation, long term commitment, religious, spiritual and moral authority and ability to facilitate constructive social relations between different groups of population. It is not religion itself that is influential, but rather the ways in which it has been interpreted and practiced that is influential in religion's orientation toward radicalism, violence, conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Thus, it is necessary to elaborate upon what Islam and Muslims have to say about peacebuilding. The exploration of the contributions to this volume is made with regards to the title in hand by the thought and practice of the global movement associated with the Turkish Muslim scholar Fethullah Glen.
