From Anwar al-Sadat’s dramatic gambit in 1977 to the surprising declaration of the Abraham Accords in 2020, making peace with Israel was always a tough sell for Arab regimes. Through an analysis of hundreds of fatwas, sermons, essays, books, interviews, poems, postage stamps and other media, Peace in the Name of Allah examines how Egyptian, Jordanian, and Emirati political and religious authorities introduced Islamic justifications for peace with Israel, and how those opposed countered them. The discussion demonstrates the flexible and ambiguous nature of revelation-based political discourses; Islam is neither ‘for’ nor ‘against’ peace with Israel – people are, as different Muslim political actors take competing or even contradictory positions.

»A fascinating study. Readers will be surprised how religious sheikhs can easily switch their positions towards peace with Israel by citing different verses of Quranic and religious texts.«
Dr. Elham Manea, Institute for Political Science, University of Zurich

»Ofir Winter’s study provides an extensively documented and profoundly analyzed answer to the frequently asked question, how did the leaderships of Arab states that made peace with Israel legitimize a relationship that had for decades been beyond the limits of acceptability.«
Prof. Shimon Shamir, former Israeli ambassador to Egypt and Jordan

»Winter’s book is a must for every student, official, or layman who is interested in understanding current Islamic political discourse. The book comprises a significant contribution to the body of research literature in the field of war and peace in contemporary Islam.«
Yitzhak Reiter, President of the Middle East and Islamic Studies Association of Israel (MEISAI)
