Abstract

JUST WAR theory is said to have begun with Augustine. The doctrine was developed further as a religious teaching, but after the Reformation, secular versions of JUST WAR theory became prominent. "JUST WAR" is contrasted with "holy war". Since the crusades were considered by many Christians as holy wars, it is often assumed that jihad is the Islamic equivalent. In what follows, I argue that jihad shares much in common with the JUST WAR tradition. Recent theorists have used the term "JUST WAR PACIFISM" or "contingent PACIFISM" to describe the view that under the conditions of modern warfare, JUST WAR theory leads to the conclusion that it is morally wrong to engage in war. In this paper, it is argued that an Islamic ethics of war and peace may be interpreted to yield a JUST WAR PACIFISM that is analogous to that developed on the basis of Western JUST WAR theory. Under current conditions, the criteria required by Islam to provide a moral justification for JUST WAR fail to obtain for an important range of armed conflicts, and this conclusion may be considered an argument for a conditional Islamic JUST WAR PACIFISM.
