Sergeant D. J. James of the Pasadena police that he and his brother could

Los Angeles Herald-Examiner he was holding. He was their middle brother,

Contemporary Islam provides a counterweight to the prevailing opinions of Islamic thought as conservative and static with a preference for violence over dialogue. It gathers together a collection of eminent scholars from around the world who tackle issues such as intellectual pluralism, gender, the ethics of political participation, human rights, non-violence and religious harmony. This is a highly topical and important study which gives a progressive outlook for Islam's role in modern politics and society.
However, thousands of items are listed when “violence and Islam” are the search
words.5 Scholarly interest in researching Islamic theories of peacebuilding also
stems from the recent significant expansions in the study of religion and peace.
Scholars and practitioners in peace studies and conflict resolution have begun
exploring the role of religion in shaping the theory and practice of their field.6
This new wave of research aims to shift the focus away from religion as the cause
of war ...

During the New Kingdom (c. 1570–1070 BCE), the Valley of the Kings was the burial place of Egypt’s pharaohs, including such powerful and famous rulers as Amenhotep III, Rameses II, and Tutankhamen. They were buried here in large and beautifully decorated tombs that have become among the country’s most visited archaeological sites. The tourists contribute millions of badly needed dollars to Egypt’s economy. But because of inadequate planning, these same visitors are destroying the very tombs they come to see. Crowding, pollution, changes in the tombs’ air quality, ever-growing tourist infrastructure—all pose serious threats to the Valley’s survival. This volume, the result of twenty-five years of work by the Theban Mapping Project at the American University in Cairo, traces the history of the Valley of the Kings and offers specific proposals to manage the site and protect its fragile contents. At the same time, it recognizes the need to provide a positive experience for the thousands of visitors who flock here daily. This is the first major management plan developed for any Egyptian archaeological site, and as its proposals are implemented, they offer a replicable model for archaeologists, conservators, and site managers throughout Egypt and the region. Published in both English and Arabic editions and supported by the World Monuments Fund, this critical study will help to ensure the survival of Egypt’s patrimony in a manner compatible with the country’s heavy reliance on tourism income.
As we have demonstrated in the preceding chapters, the greatest threats facing
the Valley of the Kings today are a result of its popularity with visitors. To tackle
the complex problems caused by such huge numbers of visitors, we have to
identify the causes, and develop plans to manage the Valley in ways that will
mitigate tourism's adverse effects. For example, we need to calculate how many
people can safely visit the Valley in a single day; how many can visit in one hour;
how tourists ...
