Abstract

The author examines and criticizes some of the key arguments from Security First, with a focus on issues related to Etzioni's discussion of "Illiberal Moderates." Etzioni's analysis of Christianity and Islam are found to be problematic. By looking at the just war traditions in both religions, the author finds very different models rather than the parallel ones suggested by Etzioni.
