This book assesses the peacebuilding implications and societal impact of the Hizmet Movement, characterized as a pacifist, modern-oriented version of Islam, and as an alternative to more extreme schools of Islam such as Salafism. The book includes contributions from scholars and practitioners around the world and across the social sciences, humanities, and fields of professional and community practice that critically explore the intersection of the movement and peacebuilding in countries such as Sudan, the Philippines, Kosovo, Northern Iraq, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Tajikistan, South Africa, and Nigeria.

Through a series of case studies exploring the educational and peacebuilding efforts of the Hizmet movement in countries including Kyrgyzstan, Iraq, the Philippines, Nigeria and Ethiopia, this volume provides an alternative narrative on the role of Islam in grassroots efforts to transcend religious divides through a focus on the universality of the human condition, an embracing of diversity, and an emphasis on the responsibility to build trust through dialogue, service, and critical thinking--Maia Hallward, Kennesaw State University
A valuable study of the peacemaking activities of this much maligned and misunderstood movement. It brings together Fethullah Gülen's vision for Hizmet as a force for peace in today's world with actual case studies of Hizmet peacemaking activities in such far-flung regions as Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, Iraq, and Nigeria. These are stories of real people inspired by their faith to build real peace in times of crisis and conflict.--Thomas Michel, Georgetown University
The Hizmet Movement and Peacebuilding is "must" reading for anyone concerned about the role of religion in peacebuilding. The case studies of the Hizmet Movement, a major Muslim global international organization, and its educational mission and approach offers multifaceted examples of its peacebuilding through education from Africa, the Middle East, Central and Southeast Asia.--John L. Esposito, Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, Georgetown University
