Key Notes
He presents wealth accumulation, sacrificial jihad, and taboo transgression as three ways religious actors try to prove faith and resolve the crisis of faith.
Jiang identifies wealth accumulation, jihad, and transgression as three religious solutions to the crisis of faith.
Jiang defines the Crusades as religious war, comparable in Western imagination to jihad in Muslim imagination.
Jiang reads Muhammad's message as a Moses-like call to recover a promised land given to Abraham's descendants.
The third message is that God gave the promised land to Abraham's descendants, but empires, landlords, and the wealthy stole it, so jihad means fighting to take it back.
