%T Building Peace from Islamic Background
%X This article attempts to answer the question regarding the possibility of
building peace in an Islamic environment which is known for various teachings and
practices that are contrary to peace, such as the teaching of jihād in the sense of war
against infidels. However, it is not difficult to find in Islam materials of teaching by
which one may develop concepts about peace and peacebuilding etc., such as that
Islam itself means entering into peace and that Islam teaches justice, enjoins people to
goodness and prevents from evil. Indeed, peace is not something that just exists or is
built once and will continue forever, but something that must be built and maintained
continuously.
