Ka teologiji genocida
Towards the Theology of Genocide

Summary/Abstract: The history of the idea of genocide is quite long, and the occurrence of genocide itself, as an expression of the darkest side of human nature and human civilization, is very complex, with multilayered malignancy. As an organized killing of people committed by a political regime, its military and paramilitary forces, genocide is, in fact, mass killing of other and different people because of their race, ethnicity, religion, language and other political purposes and goals that the perpetrators of genocide have in mind. Therefore, genocide is, at the same time, a mass crime, politicide, culturocide, epistemicide, ecocide, religiocide and democide. In addition to killing people, it also includes the destruction of cultural assets and the destruction of social institutions of an entire social group. The Islamic answer to this darkest phenomenon in the human race is the theology of genocide, which must first consider the reason why the death of every innocent person, according to the believing and thinking tradition of Islam, is equal to demise of the entire human race (al-Mā’ida, 32), and make every man on Earth aware of that reason before he ever decides to commit the act of murdering other and different man as the crown of God’s creation.
