A cosmic war is a religious war. It is a battle not between armies or nations, but between the forces of good and evil, a war in which God is believed to be directly engaged on behalf of one side against the other, writes Reza Aslan of the USC Center on Public Diplomacy. Both an in-depth study of the ideology fueling al-Qa’ida, the Taliban and like-minded militants throughout the Muslim world and an exploration of religious violence in Judaism, Christianity and Islam, Aslan argues that religion is a stronger force today than it has been in a century.
